Package holiday to Pune

Pune is the second largest city in the Indian state of Maharashtra and is located on the Deccan Plateau at an elevation of about 560 meters, approximately 150 km southeast of Mumbai. The city is often referred to as the Oxford of the East, as it is home to over 100 educational institutions and is a center for IT, research, and the automotive industry.

Historically, Pune was the capital of the Maratha Empire under the Peshwa rulers in the 18th century. The Shaniwar Wada, an imposing fortress palace built in 1732, was the center of Maratha politics and is today Pune's most famous landmark. The ruins tell tales of intrigue, power, and the rise of an empire that stood up to the Mughals.

The Aga Khan Palace, a magnificent building from the 19th century, served as a prison for Mahatma Gandhi, his wife Kasturba, and his secretary during British colonial rule. It is now a museum and memorial of the Indian independence movement.

Pune is surrounded by the Sahyadri Mountains (Western Ghats), a UNESCO World Heritage region with rich biodiversity. Numerous historical hill forts such as Sinhagad, Rajgad, and Torna are popular trekking destinations. The climate is significantly more pleasant than in coastal cities, with mild winters and moderate monsoons.

The Osho International Meditation Resort attracts thousands of spiritually seeking individuals from around the world each year. Pune's culinary and nightlife scene is considered one of the best in India.

Pune particularly impresses with fascinating culture, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
