Discover Pune – The Cultural Capital of Maharashtra
Known as the Cultural Capital of Maharashtra and the Oxford of the East, Pune is a city where history and modern life exist in perfect harmony.

Our Pune Heritage Walks take you beyond the typical tourist attractions, allowing you to explore hidden lanes, historic monuments, colourful bazaars, traditional communities, and stories that shaped one of India’s most fascinating cities.
Experience Pune like a local—not just as a tourist.
Explore the UNESCO Heritage Forts of Maharashtra
Maharashtra is home to some of India’s most spectacular hill forts, built amidst the breathtaking Sahyadri mountain ranges. These forts stand as timeless symbols of courage, military strategy, and architectural brilliance.
The Maratha Military Landscapes of India, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrate the extraordinary legacy of the Maratha Empire. Several of these remarkable forts are located in and around Pune, making the region a paradise for history lovers and cultural explorers.
