Itinerary of Rejuvenating Pune Mahabaleshwar Tour Package for 3 Days & 2 Nights

Day 1: Arrival, Check-in & Pune Sightseeing

Your Maharashtra adventure begins with airport or railway station pickup, followed by a smooth hotel transfer. After freshening up, explore Pune's heritage at Shaniwar Wada, Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple, Aga Khan Palace, and Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum. Return to the hotel for an overnight stay.

• Shaniwar Wada- Shaniwar Wada was once a grand seven-storied palace protected by massive stone walls and five imposing gates. Though a devastating fire in 1828 destroyed much of the structure, its surviving ramparts, gateways, and intricate foundations still hint at its architectural brilliance. Today, the evening sound-and-light show adds a captivating layer to the visit, using narration, music, and projections to retrace the rise of the Marathas and the dramatic events that shaped the Peshwa era.
• Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple- Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple is among the city’s most revered Ganesha shrines, founded in 1893 by confectioner Dagdusheth Halwai. The idol is lavishly adorned with approximately 40 kilograms of gold ornaments and precious gemstones. During the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, spectacular processions and elaborate rituals turn Pune into the epicenter of grand celebration.
• Aga Khan Palace- Aga Khan Palace gained historical prominence as the detention facility for Mahatma Gandhi during 1942-1944. The palace holds deep historical meaning, marking the spot where Kasturba Gandhi spent her final moments during imprisonment. You can visit the museum exhibiting Gandhi's spectacles, personal letters, and photographs documenting India's independence struggle.
• Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum- Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum is the life's work of Dr. Kelkar, who spent sixty years gathering an incredible collection of 22,000 artifacts. The museum galleries are filled with intricately carved doorways, classical instruments, and decorative oil lamps. You'll also find traditional textiles and ceremonial weaponry, each piece telling a story and paying tribute to the unknown artisans of India.

Day 2: Breakfast, transfer to Mahabaleshwar & Mahabaleshwar Sightseeing

After breakfast, you will start for Mahabaleshwar by private car, along scenic mountain roads. After a bit of exploration of the hill station, you will have a relaxing overnight stay at the Mahabaleshwar hotel.

Pune to Mahabaleshwar is a scenic 132-kilometer drive through the Western Ghats that takes approximately 3 hours. As you ascend, feel the temperature drop and enjoy the crisp air. Don't forget to stop at one of the roadside vendors for fresh strawberries and corn. The journey is just as adventurous, with countless photo-worthy viewpoints showcasing Maharashtra's stunning, diverse geography.

• Venna Lake- Venna Lake is a beautiful man-made lake that was created during the British colonial era. It covers a large area and is surrounded by dense forests, making it a lovely place to visit. People can enjoy pedal boating, row boating, and speedboat rides on the calm waters, which mirror the sky and the nearby greenery. The lakeside walkway features food stalls selling hot corn, vada pav, and strawberry treats. Children can have fun riding horses, while photography lovers can capture stunning reflections and mountain backgrounds that make for great vacation memories.
• Mahabaleshwar Temple- Built by Chanda Rao of the More dynasty, the Mahabaleshwar Temple houses a Rudraksha-clad Shiva Linga shrouded in mythological significance. According to the Skanda Purana, Lord Shiva promised to reside here eternally with demon Mahabal, giving the region its name 'Mahabaleshwar'. In 1215 CE, Yadava King Singham built the Panchganga Temple, now part of this complex. The temple features Trishul, Damru, and a sacred bed believed to be crumpled each morning from Lord Shiva's nightly rest.
• Sunset Point- Sunset Point offers a breathtaking spectacle at sunset. You can gaze down upon the sprawling valley, dotted with tiny villages and winding roads. If you're visiting during the monsoon season, you might find yourself at eye level with the clouds, creating a truly magical experience. Grab a hot snack from a local vendor and settle in for nature's nightly masterpiece.
• Mahabaleshwar Market- Mahabaleshwar Market is a bustling marketplace at the heart of Mahabaleshwar, overflowing with fresh strawberries, homemade jams, preserves, honey, and traditional leather Chappals. Shops display strawberry-based products, including crushes, syrups, and chocolates. Local vendors sell corn, roasted peanuts, and Chikki varieties. You can also find woolens and local handicrafts at the market. Try some fresh strawberries and cream to soak up the hill station vibes.

Day 3: Breakfast, Optional Mahabaleshwar Sightseeing & Departure

Explore Mahabaleshwar's dramatic viewpoints and nearby Panchgani before returning to Pune. After a day of exploration, we will drop you at Pune airport or railway station for your departure.

• Arthur's Seat Point- Arthur's Seat is the most spectacular viewpoint in Mahabaleshwar, offering incredible views of the Savitri River and the deep gorges below. From the platform, you can see sweeping 180-degree vistas of valleys, villages, and distant mountains. During the monsoon season, waterfalls appear on the surrounding cliffs, adding to the magnificent scenery.
• Kate's Point- Kate's Point is a popular viewpoint, named after the British governor's daughter, that offers sweeping panoramas across Krishna Valley, with Dhom reservoir visible in the distance. The observation platform offers views of a distinctive needle-shaped rock formation, Needle Hole Point, protruding from the valley floor. Monsoon season brings lush greenery and flowing waterfalls, enhancing scenic beauty. The peaceful ambiance, combined with spectacular vistas, makes this an essential stop.
• Elephant's Head Point- Elephant's Head Point is a viewpoint named for rock formations that look like an elephant's head and trunk when seen from certain angles. It is also known as Needle Point because of its unique natural rock shape. This spot provides breathtaking views of the valley that seem to go on forever. The nearby Sahyadri Forest adds a lush green backdrop to your pictures and looks stunning during the monsoon season. The viewpoint is less crowded than others, offering tranquil moments to take in the natural beauty and geological features of the Western Ghats.
• Mapro Garden- Mapro Garden is one of Maharashtra's must-visit destinations, founded by pharmacist Mr. Vora to help local farmers. This leading food processing facility manufactures jams, fruit crushes, premium chocolates, and snacks. The garden features a restaurant serving strawberry-based dishes and dessert toppings. The factory outlet sells Mapro's renowned products at reasonable prices. This clean, well-maintained facility combines agricultural tourism with delightful family-friendly experiences.
• Panchgani Table Land- Asia's second-largest mountain plateau, Panchgani Table Land, spans a vast expanse of laterite rock, offering unobstructed 360-degree panoramas of surrounding valleys, hills, and distant peaks. This elevated flatland provides unique opportunities for horse riding, photography, and experiencing the boundless open space, rare in hill stations. The plateau's geological formation and scale create an almost surreal landscape, unlike typical viewpoints. Local vendors offer fresh strawberries, corn, and beverages.

The return journey takes you back through the scenic Western Ghats, offering a new perspective on the landscapes you saw on your way up. This comfortable three-hour drive is a great time to reflect on the historical, spiritual, and natural sights along your trip. As the temperature rises, you'll know you're transitioning from the incredible mountains back to the plains.
