Itinerary
Start the tour after meeting your private guide at the University or at your hotel, depending on the option booked. The guide will have your cycles and helmets and will be ready to discuss the program and the route. Savitribai Phule Pune University, one of the premier universities in India, is positioned in the northwestern part of Pune city. It was established in February 1949 under the Poona University Act and is known as the 'Oxford of the East'. It has about 307 recognized research institutes and 612 affiliated colleges offering graduate and under-graduate courses. The university attracts many foreign students due to its excellent facilities. Your guide will tell you more about its history and accolades. The university is identified by its monumental main building and its beautiful architecture. Its tower projects high into the sky and bears the flag of the University. It was once the residence of the governors of Bombay in the days of the British Raj. Next you'll visit the Center for Performing Arts, which strikes the balance between the rich cultural heritage of India and the contemporary sensibilities of young creative minds. You'll also visit the Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, an autonomous institution set up by grants to promote the growth of active groups in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The University of Pune has a lush green campus adorned by a large canopy of trees and filled with colonial-era buildings. Cycle around enjoying the nature and architecture before heading to the canteen for a meal (own expense). Return to the main gate of university to turn in your cycles and equipment, where you guide will help you to arrange taxi or tuk-tuk back to wherever you wish to go. Hotel drop-off is also an option.

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.
