Overview

A full day Pune city tour is a great way to experience the Queen of the Deccan. In this guided tour we visit Pune’s most famous temple – Dagdu Sheth Ganesh, one of the world’s largest one man collection at Kelkar museum, seat of the powerful Peshwas of the great Maratha empire at Shaniwarwada, a unique biographical museum on Sadhu Vaswani, and the magnificent Aga Khan Palace which has its place in India’s freedom struggle.

Itinerary

  • Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir

    The day begins at Dagdu Sheth, a temple dedicated to Lord Ganesh and arguably the most famous one in Pune. This temple was built in 1892 by a sweet maker who lost his son to the plague. The temple played a crucial role in inspiring Lokmanya Tilak to organise the annual Ganesh festival to unite Indians to fight for freedom from the British.

    30 minutes

  • Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum

    History comes alive during this Pune city tour at the Raja Dinkar Kelkar museum which is one of the largest one-man collections in the world. Dinkar Kelkar toured some of the remotest parts of India and collected artifacts including embroidered textiles, sculptures, antique vessels and swords of the Marathas. Guests will be fascinated with Mastani Mahal, a room recreated from the ruins of the original Palace which was a symbol of the royal romance between Baji Rao the legendary prime minister of Maratha Empire and Mastani, his lady love.

    1 hour

  • Shaniwar Wada

    Our next destination in the Pune ctiy tour is Shaniwar Wada, the seat of power of the Peshwas or Prime Ministers of the powerful Maratha Empire which was a dominant power in India between the 17th and 19th centuries. This Palace was built in 1730 in honor of Peshwa Bajirao Ballal Balaji Bhat for services rendered to the Maratha Empire. Shaniwarwada is considered as the most haunted place in Pune! Our guide will tell you the stories of how the Palace witnessed an early and unfortunate death, a betrayal, a tragic love story and treachery. As per local legends, even today Shaniwarwada is dreaded for supernatural activities on the full-moon night! People believe that the fort is haunted by the ghost of Bajirao’s grandson Narayanrao, who was murdered by his family.

    1 hour

  • Darshan Museum

    The Darshan museum is a unique biographical museum dedicated to the Life and teaching of Sadhu Vaswani, a spiritual leader. Sadhu Vaswani professed the need for love and reverence for the betterment of humanity. It is a modern museum that uses multi media technology to tell the story of Sadhu Vaswani and his teachings. Upliftment of women and animal rights were 2 causes very close to his heart. In fact Novermber 25, Sadhu Vaswani’s birth date, is celebrated as the International Meatless and Animal Rights Day.

    1 hour

  • Aga Khan Palace

    The Aga Khan Palace which is a national monument of India’s freedom movement is our last destination in the Pune city tour. Built in 1892 by Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III, the Palace witnessed some remarkable events that define India’s freedom movement against the British. Gandhiji, his wife Kasturba Gandhi and his secretary Mahadevbhai Desai were imprisoned here during the Quit India movement in 1942. During the guided tour, guests will realize why the Aga Khan Palace is a memorial to Gandhiji and his simple life.

Memorable Pune Trip

Published on Nov, 2024

Must do well rounded trip in Pune! With our guide Ajit, we went to multiple places with very thorough learning of Pune historical importance in Freedom struggle and in social education aspect in India. We also visited many temples, including Pataleshwar Cave Temple which is my favorite one by far. We ended the day with lunch and Aga Khan palace before heading home. Happy for spending whole day with this program and company!

Memorable pune tour

Published on Sep, 2024

I had a fantastic day out with Ajit of 5 Senses tours. We explored tye best heritage sites of Pune and it was a memorable experience. The shaniwarwada fort and Agha Khan Palace were tye highlights of the day. The service was impeccable with comfortable car, safe driver and a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Very highly recommended.

Experience Pune, its people, culture, food, history and religion.

Published on Apr, 2024

My tour of Pune was excellent. My guide was knowledgeable, spoke good English, and answered my many questions about the history, culture, religion, and people of India. The locations of the tour were ideal and places that I could never have found or understood on my own. My driver and tour guide were polite and attentive and I felt safe navigating the markets and backstreets of Pune, places that I would not have ventured into by myself. The lunch was at a traditional family-style Indian restaurant frequented by many Indian families. The waiter continuously brought food and I experienced the great foods of India. I would highly recommend this tour.

Such a lovely day touring Pune!

Published on Feb, 2024

Ajit was a wonderful tour guide. I enjoyed all of the stops we made and appreciated that some of them were lesser known so I truly got to see sights I wouldn’t have found on my own. Ajit knows so much about the history of Pune and stories of the gods. Lunch was also absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this tour and Ajit.

Day in Pune

Published on Jan, 2024

It was a great tour. I visited several monuments in Pune, had lunch, and drove around the city. Ajit was very interesting, explorative, and helpful. I learnt a lot about Indian Culture, traditions, and food.
