Walk from Pune Junction to a nearby misal shop for an authentic Puneri breakfast — spicy misal with pav and farsan; shops are typically open early morning until around 11:00AM, so this is a perfect first stop.
Family temple visit led by Aniruddha Mama; a calm, local shrine experience — allocate 1–1.5 hours for darshan and family rituals. Temple hours are generally early morning to evening (approx. 6:00AM–8:00PM), but confirm locally.
Mama will drive the group to the reserved resort or farmhouse for the day & night stay. Ladies & kids will be served lunch at the resort (included); men plan for drinks during this time as per family arrangement.
Afternoon pool time, music and light games for everyone — check the resort for pool rules and timings (some pools close at dusk), and supervise children as required.
Relaxed evening with BBQ, snacks and music; a social family get-together atmosphere ideal for photos and group games. Confirm whether drinks are provided or billed separately.
Sit-down family dinner served at the resort — typically a buffet or plated meal included in the booking; enjoy local and simple crowd-pleasing dishes.
If timing allows before departure, visit Shaniwar Wada for a quick 30–45 minute walkaround and photos; the site/museum is usually open around 8:00AM–6:00PM — allocate a short slot and check current opening hours locally.
After breakfast (and optional Shaniwar Wada), depart for Mumbai. Departure time is flexible — plan 3–4 hours by car depending on traffic; confirm exact departure with Mama and travellers.
Estimated arrival window in Mumbai depending on departure time and traffic; finalize travel details (car/train) with the group on the morning of departure.
