Pune is Maharashtra's second city and India's rapidly growing tech hub, with a vibrant café culture, university energy, and rich Maratha history. The Shaniwar Wada fortress — ruins of the Peshwa Maratha rulers' palace — is the city's most evocative historical site. The Aga Khan Palace, where Gandhi was imprisoned during independence, and the Osho Ashram in Koregaon Park are other draws. The Western Ghats hill station of Lonavala is about 60 km west.
