Weekend Getaways from Pune
Not too far from Pune is the heavily forested region in the Sahyadri Range called Saputara, located in the Dang district of South Gujrat. The best selling features of this holiday town are a perennially pleasant weather, a range of tourist accommodations, and an array of entertainment options, beautiful waterfalls, the Pushpak Ropeway and the lovely gardens enclosing the popular spot.
If your soul hankers after beach life, head to the Tarkali Beach of white sands and blue waters and dig into delicious Malvani cuisine there. Gokarna, the famous Kannada beach town, though a bit far from Pune (540 kilometres) is also a good option for vacationers in Pune to soak up the beach sun.

And if you do not mind venturing far from the geographical boundaries of Maharashtra for a getaway, then the neighbouring states of Goa and Hyderabad are not too far.
