Pune Sightseeing Tour Overview
Situated in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, Pune is a rambling city. Initially, Pune was known as the pensioner’s paradise, which basically meant home for those who needed a peaceful life away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Pune is now a fast-growing hub for entertainment, education, information technology, and industries. Pune is not only an IT hub but also an amazing place to visit for a holiday.
But what makes Pune slightly special is its famous hill stations, forts, adventure locations, and pilgrimage spots. Other places to visit in Pune include Vishrambaug Wada and the Tribal Museum. The Tribal Museum displays the art, history, and culture of the tribal heritage of Maharashtra. Apart from these popular places, Pune, as a holiday destination, also offers various day trips to interesting places like hill forts in the nearby Sahyadri Mountains. Many of these forts are worth exploring for their architecture and scenic beauty.
