The world's third largest and oldest crater is located at Lonar, 165 kms from Aurangabad in Buldana district. This crater was formed nearly 50, 000 years ago when a 3 million ton meteorite impacted the earth to create a depression 1.83 kms in diametre and 150 metres deep. A nature lover's paradise it is worth a visit if you are in the area

Here is the set of pics we had clicked just in case you'd like to look.
