Weekend Planner

Welcome to the Weekend Planner

Imagine going to a beautiful fort and then learning that you have to climb 2 hours to see the “beautiful” part. The aim of this page is to help you avoid such scenarios. You choose the options you are interested in and this page lists only those places which qualify for those options. If you need details on the assumptions, please scroll down below.

  • If you don’t care about a particular category, leave it empty. Places which fit into all the different kinds in that category will be displayed. If you don’t see any output after clicking Search, then i probably don’t have a place to list for the combination you chose.
  • You have to press Search if you change any options and want to see the revised list.
  • Duration: Under the assumption that you are using your own transport. Half Day: 5-6 hrs One day: Start early morning and back by night Weekend: Requires an overnight stay Weekday: Close to/Within the city that you can visit even after work
  • Area: Pune: Within/Very close to Pune City. Near Pune: Usually < 100 Kms. Konkan: Anywhere on the Arabian coast πŸ™‚
  • Type: Drive: Mostly, a place known for scenic beauty, but the drive to the place is also good. Walk: May/May not be uphill, but assumption that it doesn’t require any special physical fitness. Trek: Better to be in good shape if you want to attempt (I am a typical S/W guy with reasonable levels of fitness!). Just See: The drive to the place is nothing much to write about, but you have stuff to see at the destination.
  • If you think that any of the places need a reclassification, let me know through the contact form.
  • Disclaimer: These ratings are my assumptions and may differ for you πŸ™‚

    Kapil, You dont need the entire weekend to see any place close to Pune. That’s why u see mostly Konkan for the weekend plan.
    Choose one day trip to see lot more options.
    Otherwise, just browse the blog to get any options.

    I already liked your blogs as reading it bit late , also the weekend planner is at its best , giving all best locations around Pune. Prefer we go together some time to a place still not gone as a adventure.

    Good idea Aditya, will do.
    The problem is that most places around here are at their best in the monsoon, but that doesnt mean you can’t go there in other seasons.
    In fact, you go there in summer and then again in monsoon, you would appreciate the beauty even more πŸ™‚

    Hi,
    Your site was already awesome, now its got awesommer πŸ™‚
    Good going with this new tool.

    May I suggest to add a season field in the choices.. as some activities are season specific or best done during that season.

    Cheers, keep exploring and sharing!

    Nice tool! You are truly inspired! One small bug though, when you leave all the categories empty and search you have the last place appearing twice. πŸ™‚

    Regards to you and your family!
