Højdepunkter

Most Old Pune walks tick off the same landmarks and end at a generic snack stall. Ours doesn't. You'll taste a modak — Lord Ganesh's mythological favourite sweet — at the foot of Dagdusheth Halwai temple, eaten where it actually belongs. You'll step inside Bhausaheb Rangari Bhawan, the quiet lane where India's public Ganesh festival began in 1892 — a piece of national history almost no other tour shows you. You'll try a mastani at Gujjar Mastani, one of the original houses of the dessert Pune invented. Your guide is Pune-born, not flown in from elsewhere. Small group, never more than 8 — so the lanes feel like a local showing you their city, not a tour bus making a stop.

About Pune

Pune is a university city on the Deccan plateau in Maharashtra, with Maratha forts and palaces, hill views, old markets and a strong café culture.

Pune stands on the Deccan plateau where the Mula and Mutha rivers meet, about 560 metres above sea level, with the Western Ghats rising to the west. It was the seat of the Peshwas, the Maratha prime ministers, and Shaniwar Wada, their fortified palace of 1732, still has its great gate and gardens. The Aga Khan Palace, where Mahatma Gandhi was held in the 1940s, and the Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati temple are among the city's best-known sights.

Top-ranked sights in Pune: Khadakwasla Dam, Shree Narayani Dham, Laxmi Road.
