Pune is an excellent base point for visiting Hill Stations around the Area viz. Panchgani/Mahabaleshwar (100-120 kms) and Khandala/Lonavala (60-70 kms). [Full Resort List]. Khandala / Lonavala come alive during monsoon when hundreds of waterfalls abound the area and weather turns very misty. Panchgani is a heritage hill station with a off-beat feel having a few weekend resorts. Mahabaleshwar enjoys good weather (its rains very much in June-Sept and biting cold in winter) and has many weekend getaway resorts.

Shirdi is a popular religious destination for Shirdi Sai Baba devotees and Pune at 200 kms from Shirdi is an access point for the same and also an access point for an Ashtavinayak Itinerary.
