Somwar Peth Heritage Walk, Pune | Explore Pune's History with PHW
Step into the historic heart of Pune with this guided heritage walk through Somwar Peth, a neighborhood that reflects the city's rich cultural and architectural legacy.

Curated by founder and walk leader Randhir Jaya Naidu, the walk brings together history enthusiasts, culture lovers, and curious explorers to discover Pune's heritage from a new perspective.
