Visit the iconic Shaniwar Wada Fort, a historic fort built in the 18th century and served as the seat of the Peshwas, the prime ministers of the Maratha Empire. Although much of the fort was destroyed in a fire, the ruins still stand tall and provide a glimpse into the city's glorious past.

Continue to Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Mandai Market - nestled within a majestic structure crafted by the renowned Rudyard Kipling's father, this bustling market boasts a vibrant array of succulent fruits, a savoury meat selection, a lively bazaar, and a vast fabric market.

Pass through the Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum, it was founded by Baba Dinkar Kelkar in memory of his only son, Raja, who died at the age of seven. The collection consists of over 21,000 objects collected from all over India.

Your last major stop before heading back to the Shaniwar Wada fort again is the Vishrambaug Wada, this grand mansion, once the opulent abode of Peshwa Baji Rao II - the esteemed ruler of the Maratha confederacy in the early 19th century - exudes a timeless charm and legacy that continues to capture the imagination of all who behold it.
