Discover Pune's rich heritage through immersive walking tours. Step into history, explore hidden stories, and experience the soul of the city — guided with warmth, accuracy, and heart.
Every city has monuments, but only a few have memories. In Pune, the walls of Shaniwar Wada whisper tales of the Maratha Empire, the serene corridors of Aga Khan Palace echo with chapters from India's freedom struggle, and the winds at Sinhagad Fort still carry the courage of warriors.
Club Heritage Pune was born from a simple belief — that heritage should not just be seen, but felt. Our tours are thoughtfully planned, guided by solid historical narration, and delivered with genuine warmth. We share Pune the way we would share our own home — with pride and authenticity.
Discover Our WalksA city shaped by empires, reformers & cultural pioneers
Pune stands as one of Maharashtra's most historically significant cities. In the 18th century, it became the political center of the Maratha Empire under the Peshwas, marking a golden era in its history. The iconic Shaniwar Wada, built in 1732, remains a powerful symbol of this legacy and the administrative strength of the time.
The city also holds a special place in India's freedom movement. Aga Khan Palace served as a place of internment for Mahatma Gandhi during the Quit India Movement (1942–44). Strategic hill forts like Sinhagad reflect the region's military valor and resilience across centuries.
Beyond its forts and palaces, Pune's heritage stretches back further still — to ancient landmarks such as Pataleshwar Cave Temple, tracing the city's architecture to the 8th century. Today, Pune's legacy lives on through its classical music, literature, festivals, and renowned educational institutions — a city where history and culture continue to thrive.
