Pune – Holiday Tour Packages
The history of Pune stretches back centuries. It became prominent during the rise of the Maratha Empire and the wars between them and the Mughals.
The rule of the Peshwas during the 18th century also saw Pune transformed from a kasbah to a city. Pune was later occupied by the British and after independence, seen growth into a modern metropolis.
With such a rich history, planning what sights to see can be a bit daunting. However, holiday packages from La Vacanza can wipe those troubles away!
