Find Pune trips departing from your city.
Expect a city of contrasts. You'll find hyper-modern cafes sitting next to 300-year-old wadas. The vibe is young, thanks to the massive student and IT crowd. Logistics-wise, public transport (PMPML buses) is extensive but crowded and unreliable; you'll heavily rely on two-wheeler rentals, Olas, or Ubers. Weekends mean a mass exodus of locals to nearby forts and waterfalls, so expect crowds at popular spots like Sinhagad or Lonavala.
Pune is well-connected. Pune International Airport (PNQ) has flights from major Indian cities. Pune Railway Station is a major junction. From Mumbai, it's a 3-hour drive via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway or a scenic ride on the Vande Bharat or Deccan Queen trains.
Must try: Misal Pav (Katakirrr, Ramnath, or Bedekar), Bakarwadi (Chitale Bandhu), Vada Pav (JJ Garden), Mastani (Sujata Mastani), Pithla Bhakri (especially at Sinhagad Fort)
Street food in the camp area (like Burger King—the local one, not the chain—and George Restaurant) is legendary. For traditional Maharashtrian thalis, hit up Shreyas or Durvankur, but get there early to beat the queue.
If you are looking for the perfect mix of city nightlife and raw outdoor adventure, booking group trips to Pune is an absolute no-brainer.

Our Pune group tour packages, starting from just ₹499, are designed for young Indian travelers who want to skip the boring sightseeing and get straight to the good stuff. Whether you are chasing the monsoon clouds on a Rajgad Fort trek, pitching a tent by the Panshet Dam, or going for an adrenaline-pumping paragliding session in Kamshet, Pune trekking tours offer something for every vibe. The city itself is a hub for the 20-something crowd, boasting an unbeatable cafe culture in Koregaon Park and legendary street food in the traditional Peths. For nature lovers and thrill-seekers, a group trip here means you don't have to worry about the chaotic local transport or navigating the foggy ghats alone. We handle the logistics, the forest permits for places like Devkund Waterfall, and the local guides. Whether you are planning a corporate weekend getaway, a college reunion, or just looking to join a community of like-minded travelers, exploring Pune and its surrounding hills in a group is the safest, most budget-friendly, and frankly, the most fun way to do it.
