    Thanks Rajaram. Very nice information and snaps. I guess we should have our own transport to better enoy these places. Any suggestions guys who have visited some of these places? And what will be the best time to visit?

    Is there any troop or group kind of arrangement possible for these kinds of visits.

    Hello Mr.Rajaram,
    First of all i would like to thank you for sharing your expeditions with us.
    i am a resident of new delhi, though my native place is talegaon some 40 kms from pune. i hav never had a chance to spend some time exploring destinations near pune as most of the time i have come is to attend marriages or cermonies. luckily this year in august i am coming to pune for a whole 10 days with my wife and my son who is six months now. it would be a great help if you could guide me to some places near pune which could be adventurous, historic (would love to see forts and caves if weather allows during the said period and is comfortable and safe to travel with an infant)… i am sure you would help me chalk out a plan for my holidays .
    Awaiting for a reply soon.
    Thanks
    Paritosh

    Wai can be covered in half a day though it would mean that you would return to Pune late evening. The time to wai from Pune is approx 2 hrs (one-way)

  8. Shriram says:

    Hi Rajaram,
    Very instructive information. I am planning to travel to Mumbai this weekend and would be spending around half day in Pune. Would it possible to cover Wai the other half day? Could you suggest place I can cover?

  9. Rajaram S says:

    Hi, Pune to the temple would be around 60 kms (1-1.25 hrs). There are lot of other places nearby – Jejuri temple, many temples in sasvad or if u r driving, places close to bhor on the highway are very close
