Pune — 4 nights

Oxford of the East

Pune has long enjoyed a reputation as a center of culture and commerce, with many dynastic rulers making the town central to their regional plans in the centuries before the British Raj.
Venture out of the city with trips to Mata Vaishno Devi Temple (in Pimpri-Chinchwad), Lonavala (Della Adventure Park & Lion's Point) and Shooting Point (in Khandala). There's much more to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Dagadusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple, hunt for treasures at Phule Market, examine the collection at Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum, and pick up a one of a kind souvenir at Rightwood.

For where to stay, photos, other places to visit, and other tourist information, go to the Pune road trip planner.

The Route module shows you all the different ways you can get to Pune. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 2nd (Thu) early enough to fly to Gangtok.

Rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, and mountaineering feature prominently on tourist agendas, with a visit to a hot spa providing the perfect way to relax after an exhausting day. Yak safaris and high ropeways provide interesting ways to see high-altitude cities and the surrounding nature, which includes the state's natural symbols: the noble orchid and the red panda.
