Heritage Walks, Tours & History Events in Pune

Pune was the seat of the Peshwas, and its heritage events start where they ruled. Shaniwar Wada, completed in 1732, is the assembly point of the Pune Municipal Corporation's guided heritage walk, held every Saturday and Sunday at 7 am, which goes on to Kasba Ganpati, Lal Mahal, Nana Wada, Tulshibaug, Mahatma Phule Mandai and Vishrambaug Wada; tickets are ₹300 for Indian adults. Independent groups run walks through individual peths, temple trails and food-and-history tours. Beyond the old city, the Aga Khan Palace on the Nagar Road, where Gandhi was interned from 1942 to 1944, houses the Gandhi National Memorial, and the Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum displays a remarkable private collection. The hill forts around Pune, Sinhagad above all, are the setting for guided history treks, especially in the monsoon and winter. This page lists heritage walks, talks and treks.
