Welcome to the Weekend Planner
Imagine going to a beautiful fort and then learning that you have to climb 2 hours to see the “beautiful” part. The aim of this page is to help you avoid such scenarios. You choose the options you are interested in and this page lists only those places which qualify for those options. If you need details on the assumptions, please scroll down below.
- If you don’t care about a particular category, leave it empty. Places which fit into all the different kinds in that category will be displayed. If you don’t see any output after clicking Search, then i probably don’t have a place to list for the combination you chose.
- You have to press Search if you change any options and want to see the revised list.
- Duration: Under the assumption that you are using your own transport. Half Day: 5-6 hrs One day: Start early morning and back by night Weekend: Requires an overnight stay Weekday: Close to/Within the city that you can visit even after work
- Area: Pune: Within/Very close to Pune City. Near Pune: Usually < 100 Kms. Konkan: Anywhere on the Arabian coast 🙂
- Type: Drive: Mostly, a place known for scenic beauty, but the drive to the place is also good. Walk: May/May not be uphill, but assumption that it doesn’t require any special physical fitness. Trek: Better to be in good shape if you want to attempt (I am a typical S/W guy with reasonable levels of fitness!). Just See: The drive to the place is nothing much to write about, but you have stuff to see at the destination.
- If you think that any of the places need a reclassification, let me know through the contact form.
- Disclaimer: These ratings are my assumptions and may differ for you 🙂
Hi,
I am planning a weeklong trip for some peace, fun and adventure near Pune. Beachside would be preferable. Any leads on this would be highly appreciated.
This very good place.
The list which I have provided, is places all around satara. Satara district has hilly, historical and spiritual places so there are many places which are way too much attractive to visit once
Visit
1. Aundh – for its museum, and a hilltop temple
2. Brahmapuri near Rahimatpur – for its temple and a beautiful krishna river flowing alongside.
3. Kinhai – temple at the hilltop
4. Jarendeshwar – If you like trekking then it’s a must visit
5. Shikhar shinganapur -hilltop temple owner rajah of satara
6. Koyna dam – this is considered to be the prati mahabaleshwar and indeed it’s way more beautiful than crowded, dirty and costly mahabaleshwar. From Koyna, you can travel to guhagar beach right through the jungle which has a beautiful ghat section. You will never forget this amazing journey
I can go on and on and list down many unknown places around satara which are still untouched by the tourists. If you like to explore totally uncrowded places then I can provide a long list of it
