Heritage Walks & History Tours in Pune
6 events matching right now across Pune — mostly heritage (6).
The simplest way to do a heritage walk in Pune is the Pune Municipal Corporation's own: it runs every Saturday and Sunday at 7 am from the Delhi Darwaja of Shaniwar Wada, with reporting at 6:30 am. The route takes in Shaniwar Wada, Kasba Ganpati, Lal Mahal, Nana Wada, Bhau Rangari Ganpati, Tambdi Jogeshwari, Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati, Bhide Wada, the Pune Nagar Vachan Mandir, Tulshibaug Ram Mandir, Mahatma Phule Mandai and Vishrambaug Wada. Tickets, booked on the corporation's heritage walk website, cost ₹300 for Indian adults, ₹200 for higher-education students, ₹100 for school students and ₹500 for foreign nationals, and seats on each walk are limited. Independent groups and historians add their own walks, such as the Dharohar walk through the old temples and stone carvings of Somwar Peth in October 2026, along with food-and-history walks through the old bazaars and tours of Camp. Outside the city, guided treks go to Sinhagad and other forts linked to Shivaji and the Marathas. Pune's old city grew as a set of peths, each with its own temples, wadas and trades, and most walks are built around that structure. This page lists upcoming walks, heritage talks and fort treks.

- Walks start early, usually between 7 and 7:30 am, because the old city's lanes fill with traffic by mid-morning.
- Wear shoes you can slip off; most routes include temple visits.
- Book the municipal walk online in advance, as seats per walk are limited.
- Take the metro to Kasba Peth or PMC station for Shaniwar Wada. Parking in the peths is very difficult.
- Many old-city shops open late in the morning, so plan breakfast after the walk rather than shopping.
