• Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum - History comes to life during this Pune city tour at the Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum, one of the largest single-person collections globally.

• Shaniwar Wada - The next stop on the Pune city tour is Shaniwar Wada, the power seat of the Peshwas or Prime Ministers of the influential Maratha Empire, a dominant force in India from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Built in 1730 to honor Peshwa Bajirao Ballal Balaji Bhat for his services to the Maratha Empire, Shaniwarwada is considered Pune’s most haunted place! The guide will share stories of early and unfortunate deaths, betrayal, tragic love, and treachery.
