Local Tips — Pune diaries
When you are done exploring the rich heritage of Fort JadhavGADH, you can head out to Pune city, found about an hour’s drive from the hotel, and explore the rich cultural attractions. Shaniwar Wada, the palace of Peshwas built in 1732, is approximately an hour away from the hotel and totally worth exploring to see the legacy of the great Maratha rulers. Aga Khan Palace is another architectural wonder built by Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III as an act of charity for those in need.
