    Your website was useful to plan my one week stay in Pune. Right now I am into my 4th day still seeing places inside Pune city. The most striking thing for me is the ease with which you can believe and use autos (keeping in mind that I am from Chennai which is notorious for its bad auto transport). I just want to add some basic information for tourists like me.
    1.The zoo is pathetic now. It may have been good before. 2.There is no mention in any website on Pune about the Joshi Rail Museum on Kothrud. Children will enjoy it. It is one of a kind in India. 3. The Agakhan palace was a bit disappointing because the room that Bapu used is visible only through a glass door. 4. Shaniwar Wada has a sound and light show in English from 8-9pm except on Tuesdays.
    I will add more useful comments, if any when I finish my trip.

    Pl go to the weekend planner page and choose Satara. You have lot of options.

    We are planning a one and half visit to kaas lake and surroundings. We plan to leave early morning the first day. See bit of Satara en-route, move on to Kaas lake, spend this and next day there and move back day after.
    Could some one suggest what places can we visit?

    Bhavin,
    Dapoli as such is a good place. if you want to stay away from the crowds, go to Karde beach which is 10 kms away from Dapoli. Beautiful beach, not too many crowds, all te resorts are on the beach itself. We stayed in hotel sea face, but u can stay in any of the resorts.
    Check out my post on karde -> https://placesnearpune.com/2011/11/karde-beach-near-dapoli-konkan-coast/
    Enjoy

    Sir, I would like to know about ‘Dapoli’. If you have any information could you please pass on to me like how do i reach over there and what all beaches are worthy to visit. I am planning my trip for 2 days and 2 nights. Waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.

    First of all,
    Thanks a lot Mr. Rajaram..!!!
    This is a very beautifully compiled data.
    I have came across so many sites that are full of advertisement only. But this one is very different. It literally drives you through the places. You have not just listed and named the places. This one has provided context too. You must have taken a lot of efforts to compile this.

    Very nice work

  9. Abhishek Singh says:

    Hello,
    It’s a real good and informative site. Thanks for all the detailed info.

    One question – are these places near Pune worth visiting even in summers?
    Any recommendations for summer weekends? We are planning to travel with our 4 year old.

    Thanks again for the good content.
