The story of Pune

In the eighteenth century Pune was the seat of the Peshwas, chief ministers of the Maratha Empire. Their fortified palace, Shaniwar Wada, still anchors the old city, surrounded by the market lanes of the peths.

Older and newer layers sit close by: the rock-cut Pataleshwar cave temple, the Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati temple, and the Aga Khan Palace, where Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned from 1942 to 1944.

West of the city the road to Mumbai climbs into the Western Ghats. Our Lonavala day stops at the viewpoints and Bhushi Dam before dropping you in Mumbai.

Practical traveller guidance

Good to know before you visit Pune.

  • When to go October to February is pleasant. The monsoon (June to September) turns the Lonavala hills green but brings heavy rain.
  • Temples & etiquette Remove footwear at temples such as Dagdusheth Ganpati and Pataleshwar, and dress modestly.
  • Getting around Private tours include hotel pickup; the Lonavala day can also start at Pune airport and ends at your address in Mumbai.
