Weekend Trips/Excursions
In the Maratha Kingdom, Pune was the centre of power and all the places around this city reflect the might and glory of Marathas. Sinhagad, a hilltop fort, is the epitome of the bravery and cleverness of Maratha warriors. Raigad Fort was the place closely associated with the life and times of Shivaji, an icon of Maratha pride. Bhimashankar is a place known as much for its religious importance as for its natural surroundings. Jejuri has one of the most important temples in Maharashtra situated on a hilltop.
Sinhagad
The Lion Fort or Sinhagad, situated around 25 kilometres southwest of Pune is atop a steep hill. Now almost ruined, the fort has a interesting history and an important place to visit and see around Pune. It was in the year 1670, that Tanaji Malusre, a general of Shivaji scaled the steep hill in dark with his men and defeated the forces of Bijapur. According to legends, the Maratha forces used trained lizards to carry the ropes up the hillside. This is also the place where Mahatma Gandhi met another stalwart of Indian freedom struggle, Bal Gangadhar Tilak in 1915 for the first time. A pleasant day trip to this place from Pune should not be missed.
Raigad
Raigad is the place where Shivaji was crowned in 1648 and died in 1680. From the fort located on an isolated hilltop, you can get a breathtaking view of the Western Ghats. To reach the hilltop, you need to ascend the steep climb. Raigad is situated at a distance of around 126 kilometers from Pune.
Bhimashankar
Bhimashankar is a little picturesque spot situated around 95 kilometers from Pune. The place has everything to attract the visitors - deep forests, temples, rivers and all other things that give you a feeling of being in a paradise.

A must visit if you are interested in trekking, nature watching, and bird watching.
