a month agoI visited Shaniwar Wada in January this year, and it was one of the most memorable places I explored in Pune. Walking through the historic gates and ruins gave me a glimpse into the rich history of the Maratha Empire. The architecture, massive walls, gardens, and open courtyards are truly impressive and make the place feel grand even today. January was a great time to visit because the weather was pleasant and comfortable for walking around the entire fort complex. I spent a couple of hours exploring different sections, reading about the history, and taking photographs. The evening atmosphere was especially beautiful, and the well-maintained surroundings added to the overall experience. A few tips for visitors: • Visit during the morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and enjoy better weather. • Wear comfortable footwear as there is quite a bit of walking inside the complex. • Carry a water bottle, especially if you plan to spend time exploring every corner. • Be careful on uneven stone surfaces and steps in some areas. • Help keep this historic monument clean by avoiding littering. I would highly recommend Shaniwar Wada to history lovers, families, students, and anyone visiting Pune for the first time. It is not just a tourist attraction but a place where you can connect with Maharashtra's heritage and culture. Definitely worth a visit and an important landmark of Pune. 😊🏰📸✨

a month agoVisited Shaniwar Wada recently and it was a wonderful experience for anyone interested in history, architecture, and photography. This place holds great historical importance and gives a glimpse into the rich heritage of the Maratha Empire. The massive entrance gate, old fort walls, and beautiful structure still reflect the grandeur of that era. Walking through the ruins and open courtyards feels peaceful and nostalgic at the same time. The fort is maintained quite well, and there is enough space to walk around comfortably. The gardens inside are also nice and provide a relaxing atmosphere. I visited during the evening, and the lighting made the place look even more beautiful. The sound and light show conducted here is worth attending if you are interested in learning more about the history of the fort. It is a great spot for photography lovers because every corner has a unique historical vibe. The location is also easily accessible from different parts of Pune. However, it can get crowded on weekends and holidays, so visiting during weekdays or early morning would be a better option. Overall, it is one of the must-visit places in Pune for tourists as well as locals. A perfect place to spend some quality time while exploring Maharashtra’s history and culture.

2 weeks agoThis is historical place of peshwa. Used to be lot larger in older times. More than 600 acres. But now its les than 5 acres. Only boundary and gates you would be able to see. Good places for small walk or rest with you loved ones or gf ( if you have one 😅 ). Go in evening. Or after 3 pm. Ticket : ₹20/person. No water facility inside. Take your bottle. Could be made a good place of trust invest money into it.
