About the trip
Pune is Maharashtra's second city, a centre of education, IT and industry with a rich Maratha past. People travel from Mumbai for business, college, family and flights, or for a weekend of forts and food. The Mumbai–Pune expressway climbs the Western Ghats near Lonavala and Khandala, which are pleasant stops in the monsoon. The trip easily fits into a single day.
What to see in Pune
- Shaniwar Wada
- Aga Khan Palace
- Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple
- Sinhagad Fort
- Pataleshwar cave temple
- Lonavala and Khandala (on the way)
On the road
Use the Mumbai–Pune expressway via Lonavala, with food courts at the Khalapur plaza. Leave early to avoid weekend traffic at the ghat section.
