You should visit Ajanta Ellora caves, if you haven’t already! That will keep you speechless! 100 times more astonishing than this cave. The famous Kailasha temple in Ellora is a world class wonder!

[@yogeshdalvi5275]

Hello Harish ji, we prepared Puran Poli on every festival at home. It's a traditional festival menu and one of my most favorite menu 😋😋👌👌👍👍 love from Pune Maharashtra 🙏🙏

[@sandeeppatwardhan1212]

Good Video I visit Lonavala many times. Yes, you should have been to Navratna Chikki and Farsan, it is awesome. Annapurna Restaurant is excellent for snacks and breakfast, especially Misal, Poha and Thalipeeth. For Lunch and Dinner Chandralok and Aadarsh is the best. Just opposite to railway station ( market side) try Yeole tea, very popular in Pune and surroundings should taste the tea Anyways whenever you visit Pune, do visit आद्य अमृत तुल्य in Pune City. And come with lots of time in Pune, it has lots and lots to offer, be it food, markets or places of interest. Thank You Sir Ji 🎉
