Top 23 things to do and attractions in Satara

One of the places in Satara with historical significance. It is sad that its not maintained well. Definitely worth a visit as it does not take very long. You can drive 4W all the way till the top and then there are about 30 odd steps to go the top of the fort. The fort offers great views of the city and has lush greenery in the rainy season.

Visited Ajinkyatara Fort in monsoon — lush green views, misty hills, and peaceful vibes! The drive is scenic, fort clean and historic. Perfect for a short trek, photography, and weekend getaway near Satara.

Ajinkyatara Fort, perched on one of Satara’s seven surrounding hills, is a blend of history, panoramic views, and serene atmosphere. Known as the "Fort of the Brave," it holds great significance in Maratha history, once serving as a capital under Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj. The trek to the fort is relatively easy and rewarding, with sweeping views of Satara city and the lush Sahyadri ranges. Though some parts of the fort are in ruins, the ancient gates, bastions, and temples still reflect its glorious past. It’s a must-visit for history lovers, trekkers, and anyone looking to enjoy peaceful hilltop vistas.

Must visit place. Great place to be with family. Lot of space to walk. Great climate. This place shows the might of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

Very very historical place. Pride of Maharashtra. Vehicles go upto the main gate. Then climb about 40 steps to the top. Some improve are taking place. A must visit for visitors to Satara

When I visited, half of the work of the museum was done and half was in progress in feb 2025. you have to pay for parking and entry tickets which is nominal. Newly constructed place. So you can see things which has been used at the time of shivaji maharaj like talwar, banduk, bhala and more.

One of the ancient Times Ch.shivaji maharaj Sangrahalay added such ancient Talwar, Bhala, Gun,Tof, Palkhis, And Good Atmosphere in this museum Large space for Photo session in out side museum Structure.

I would highly recommend this place if you are planning to visit satara. Best 1.5 hr you can spend here on your weekend with your family and friends. If you wanna know more about Our beloved Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and weapons used by Marathas in the battlefield this place is all about that. Well maintained, clean.

Pleasant surprise to see such a good show on various armaments used by our ancestors... If you are a student of history or history aficionado, then it is a must visit...bring a pencil and sketch book as photos are not allowed... A quick tour will last for 1/2 hour...but it will not justify for this museum...

One of the best place and must visit place in satara. Yeh nahi dekha toh kya dekha. You can see whole satara city from this hillok. At night this place add cherry on the cake.

Chaar Bhinti does not feel like a historical or well-maintained tourist place. The area is littered with garbage, especially cigarette butts and alcohol bottles, which creates an unpleasant and unsafe environment. There's no proper parking space available, which adds to the inconvenience for visitors. The only positive aspect is the view between 7 PM to 8 PM, which is quite beautiful and peaceful. However, after that time, the place becomes uncomfortable due to the presence of litter and signs of alcohol consumption. It's not ideal for families or peaceful evening outings. Authorities should take steps to clean the area and maintain it properly for tourists and locals alike. --

View from top is very nice specially in the night. In the night consider by going car or auto. And ask auto to wait till you visit monument from safety purpose. One suggestion, no lights available in char bhinti smarak area. So you can't read any information about our freedom fighters.

You can see good view from there...(almost all Satara city )these are quite old monuments...good seating arrangement and lights..good for one time visit

Char Bhinti in Satara is a historic monument with deep connections to the Maratha period. Built by Chhatrapati Pratapsingh Maharaj, it was once used as an administrative office and has witnessed important events in history. Today, it stands as a heritage structure and a reminder of Satara’s royal past. The monument is simple yet elegant, with four beautifully constructed walls that give it its name. The place also offers a nice view of Satara city and nearby hills, making it a good spot for photography and quiet walks. Though not very large, it is significant for those interested in history and heritage. Maintenance could be better, but the monument still carries an aura of pride and legacy. A quick but worthwhile visit if you are exploring Satara and want to connect with its cultural and historical roots.

Historical monument of satara city good atmosphere can enjoy clean air and top view of satara city

One the calming place of Satara. Highly recommended to visit in the evening. You'll get to see the magnificent view and city lights. If you're a sunset lover moon gazing person then you must visit this place at least once. From chaar bhinti you'll able to see Ajinkyatara fort situated nearby, road to kaas, city view from east and west both side, NH4 pune banglore highway, some of attraction buildings of the city. Highly recommended to visit with friends and family.

The Shri Uttara Chidambaram Nataraja Mandir, located in Satara, Maharashtra, is a distinguished temple dedicated to Lord Nataraja, an embodiment of Lord Shiva performing the cosmic dance, Tandava. This temple is a faithful replica of the renowned Chidambaram Temple in Tamil Nadu, earning it the moniker “Uttara Chidambaram” or “Northern Chidambaram.”  Established in 1985, the temple’s inception was inspired by Pujyasri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Mahaswamiji during his stay in Satara. The construction was a collaborative effort, with contributions from the state governments of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh, while Kerala provided the timber required for the structure. Renowned architect M. S. Ganapathi Sthapathi led the design, ensuring the temple’s adherence to traditional Dravidian architectural principles.  The temple complex is notable for its intricate carvings and sculptures, including 180 representations of Bharatnatyam dance mudras. It houses several shrines dedicated to various deities, such as Adi Shankaracharya, Lord Ayyappa, Lord Hanuman, Radha-Krishna, the Navagrahas, and Lord Ganesha, reflecting a confluence of spiritual traditions.  Situated along National Highway 4, the temple is easily accessible and serves as a significant spiritual and cultural landmark in the region. Its serene ambiance and architectural grandeur make it a must-visit destination for devotees and tourists alike. 

I am from Tamil Nadu and was surprised to see this temple (Tamil Architecture) while passing through the highway. Turned the car back and visited. It is a miniature of Chidambaram Natarajar Kanaga Sabai. Great experience

It's a very peaceful place consisting 4 walls made by four state Govt.s Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh , Tamilnadu and Karnataka . Camera inside the temple is strictly prohibited. It's a place to feel rather than capture in mobile .A must visit place.

Natraj Mandir in Satara, also known as Uttara Chidambaram Temple, is one of the most peaceful and beautifully designed temples in the city. Dedicated to Lord Natraj, it reflects South Indian Dravidian architecture with tall gopurams, detailed carvings, and a calm spiritual atmosphere. The temple is clean, well-maintained, and easily accessible from the main highway. I like how it represents unity between different states, as it was built with the support of several southern states. Visiting the temple early morning feels very divine and refreshing. It is an ideal place for prayer, meditation, and appreciating traditional art and culture. In my opinion, Natraj Mandir is not only a religious place but also a cultural landmark of Satara, bringing peace and pride to everyone who visits.

Good south indian style built temple of god Natarajan, located on pandharpur route. Complete vibe of south Indian style temple, having 4 doors marked based on donation come from various States. Must visit for clean and call environment.

Very calm and peaceful temple. Gives a divine feel of south. Pandits sitting in the main premises are very good and explain about the temple in a great manner

A peaceful temple of Lord Natraj which is known as an Avatar of Lord Shiva and god of Dance, situated right in the middle of the Satara city. The art works are fascinating and interesting. The temple has openings from 4 sides with exactly same design and style. The architecture of the temple will remind of the temples from South India. There are around 7-8 small temples of various Gods and Goddesses situated inside the temple.

Very big bappa murti(idol) and clean environment within the mandir. No pic of bappa could be taken due to rules(posting one small replica available at fadanvis wada). Kashivishveshwar mandir is also nearby. The venue has kind of limited parking if visited on weekends, weekdays should be fine. If in wai, do visit and take blessings. Rating is just something Google needed..but this also enroute the nana fadanvis wada, so could be done in one trip.

Dholya Ganpati Mandir is located in Guruwar Peth, Satara. The temple cannot be easily found as the way to reach there is through narrow paths and lanes. You have to ask about the way for Dholya Ganapati Mandir. If you have a four wheeler then you should park your vehicle at your own risk besides the road. Trust should launch the name board at the road side so that it will be easy to reach there. Dholya Ganapati Mandir is an ancient temple.

One of most popular temple in wai & maharashtra. Very good vibe filling here. One of the famous tourist attraction in wai

Dholya Ganpati Mandir is a must-visit spiritual landmark in Wai, often referred to as the "Dakshin Kashi" of Maharashtra due to its rich temple heritage. Located on the banks of the Krishna River, this temple stands out with its majestic architecture and historical significance. 🛕 Architectural Marvel Built in 1762 by Sardar Ganpatrao Bhikaji Raste, the temple features a 24-meter-high spire and intricate carvings of Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Parvati.

Inside, the 10-foot-tall, 8-foot-wide black stone idol of Lord Ganesha is the largest of its kind in Maharashtra, earning the temple its name "Dholya Ganpati," meaning "Fat Ganesha" in Marathi. ZP Satara +1 🌊 Scenic Location The temple is situated beside the Krishna River, offering a tranquil setting for visitors.

Dholya Ganapati, just name reveals itself much more. This mandir is situated in satara city and not in wai. Mandir in wai is named and famous as Maha Ganapati mandir. There is very nice idol of Lord Ganapati Bappa in this dholya ganapati mandir. As we go upstairs and enter into hall, we get divine feels and have darshan of Lord dholya ganapati bappa. Nice place for worship, meditation and prayers rituals. श्री ढोल्या गणपती बाप्पा यांचे यांचे दिव्य दर्शन घेतल्यावर मन अतिशय प्रसन्न व प्रफुल्लित होते. It's very calm and peaceful mandir surrounded by nature and in the base part of ajinkyatara fort towards satara city. Please avoid taking car upto mandir since road is so narrow, instead park safely at main road area and go by walk for just 5/10 mins. Two wheelers can be taken upto mandir easily but please park those very perfectly so as other vehicles can pass easily and go further from narrow road. No access for wheel chair. While visiting please take darshan, enjoy calmness and atleast sit for sometime and enjoy divine feels.

A scenic Ganesh temple on the banks of the Krishna River in Wai, Satara, with an ancient Shiva temple nearby. The name Dholya Ganpati signifies the huge belly of the Ganesh idol. The river flows past a well-built ghat, which becomes the centre of the annual Krishnamai Utsav in November. Though there’s no permanent temple for the goddess, an idol of Krishnamai is taken out in a vibrant procession with drums and lejhim performances.

This one is the old gram devta mandir of Bappa

There is some Road Construction work going on and hence you need to Walk for around 3 kilometres to reach there. But I would advise to take that effort because the view and the scenery it offer at the end is awesome. In the middle you can find some small shops for your refreshment needs. And can also enjoy Horse riding here. Ahead of this pont is the famous Elephant point or the Needle point which is also worth visiting

I honestly can’t express my feelings — the experience is on another level. The fresh air at the top of the mountains, combined with the breathtaking view of the river and mountain range, is something you have to feel in person. Absolutely magical and a must-visit spot

The newly constructed concrete road is not enough to pass 2 sedan cars in opposite direction. This cause heavy traffic & we got to drive in reverse for almost 3kms. One of the cars was almost went down the lane (the lane is 1 feet steep on both sides) Tourists have to be more cautious taking this route, I highly recommend NO to this spot having this road.

Visited on 8/05/2025. Great view.you have to walk for 10/15 minutes to reach the point. Elephant head point is 100 meters ahead. It has also great view.

Sunset point in Mahabaleshwar with a view of Pratapgad fort. The point is a short walk from the parking lot and offers gorgeous panoramic views. During and post monsoon, several waterfalls can be seen in the surrounding hills. You can also continue walking ahead for about 10 minutes to reach Elephants head. Vendors offer simple local snacks and beverages. Usually, you will not get any network coverage at this point.

As a scenic location, this is among the best in Mahabaleshwar. But all the fun is spoiled because of the extremely narrow road leading to the point (up to the parking area that barely accommodates 10 cars, beyond which you must walk). The cement road is narrow and elevated about a foot from ground. You have to drive carefully to avoid either to stop the left wheel from going off the road into the ditch, or rubbing the vehicles coming from the other side. If you are traveling in an expensive car, it's best to avoid this place.

It was a beautiful view from the point. The parking is approximately 800 to 900 meters away from the point so you have to walk for like 15 min but the road is great so that's not a problem and both the lodwick point and elephant point are close to each other just like 200 meters distance but elephant point has a greater view of the valley.❤️

Historical Majesty at Rajwada, Satara Rajwada in Satara is a remarkable blend of history, architecture, and cultural significance. This palace stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Maratha Empire. The intricate carvings, grand wooden doors, and spacious courtyards immediately transport you to a bygone era. While the structure shows its age in parts, the raw, untouched beauty adds to its charm. The surrounding area is serene, and the view of Satara's bustling town from the Rajwada premises is delightful. It’s a perfect spot for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and photographers alike. However, better signage and improved maintenance could elevate the visitor experience. Despite this, Rajwada remains a must-visit for anyone exploring the heritage of Maharashtra. Spend an hour or two here to soak in the stories of a glorious past.

Nothing there to see. Rajwada us converted into in government office and school. Need maintenance. I recommend to visit in evening to try evening snacks near by, there are plenty of street food cart and go arround for local shopping.

Nice place, everywhere clining very well & this place are older building i like it 🥰

Very nice old building. It is palace and now government offices and school place. It's landmark in Satara city. Very good building and architecture to see.

The palace has now been converted to a school. Nothing much to look at except the pics which I have posted. The top floor lies unutilised. The stone structure gives a glimpse of how wonderful and grand the place must have been. With the Khau galli next to it, one needs to search for a parking space.

It's gud place for street food with lots of varieties......even here we get thalipeeth and some typical maharashtrian snacks..... everything at 1 place....but it's only open after 5 o clock in evening..... morning it's shut

You can see from outside, but inside it is not open for the public. It is like all time lock. It has been not open The maintenance also is not done like it should be done as in historical place or something.

Historical place. Suggest local to maintain cleanliness and avoide dumping non degradable stuff to river. There was Tarabai samadhi near by due to flood it is submerged in water. Request the locals to restore it back.

Shrine of Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj, grandson of Shivaji Maharaj. Situated on the banks of the confluence of the Venna and Krishna rivers. It is a Scenic place. The water is clean. There should be a signbord depicting the importance of the place.

Grate historical place Must visit if traveling to Satara There are lot of Temples close to reviver.

Under Chattrapati Shahu Maharaj I reign, Maratha power and influence extended to all corners of the Indian subcontinent. He was a powerful ruler of the Maratha samrajya(kingdom) after Shivaji Maharaj I and Sambhaji Maharaj I. However, after his death on 15 December 1749 at Rangmahal Rajwada Satara , power moved from the ruling Chhatrapati to his ministers (the Peshwas) and the generals who had carved out their own fiefdoms such as Bhonsle of Nagpur, Gaekwad of Baroda, Sindhia of Gwalior and Holkar of Indore.🚩🚩🚩

Samadhi situated at the confluence of Krishna and venna rivers. Tourist and natives should think of the cleanliness of the surrounding.

One of the god destination. Its the samadhi place of Chh.Shahu Maharaj ,the grandson of chh. Shivaji Maharaj. Its situated on the bank of river Krushna and Venna.Beautiful place. Must be well manage,or care taker should be there as its important destination.

Chhatrapati Shahuraje Bhosale (18 May 1682 – 15 December 1749) was the fifth Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire. He was born on 18 May 1682 in Ganguli village near Mangaon. He was the son of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Maharani Yesubai. He left a significant mark on Indian and especially Maharashtrian history as the most ambitious politician in the history of India, an outstanding warrior, an influential Maratha ruler, the most expansive king of the Maratha Empire. During the reign of Shahu Maharaj, the largest expansion of Swarajya was established by Shivaji Maharaj and managed by Sambhaji Maharaj with great bravery. Satara became the center of politics and power of India at that time. The provinces of Central India, North India, Malwa, Gujarat outside Maharashtra came under the rule of the Marathas, the Mughal Empire collapsed and the Marathas The flag of the empire flew all over India.

The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and holds significant religious value for the local community.The architecture is simple and traditional, focusing more on spirituality than grandeur.

(Translated by Google) The architecture of the temple is very attractive. The magnificent Shivalinga located in the sanctum sanctorum provides spiritual energy to the devotees. The daily puja, abhishek and aarti performed here are an unforgettable experience for the devotees of Shiva. A large number of devotees flock here during the month of Shravan, Mahashivratri and on Mondays. The temple management is good and the devotees do not face any inconvenience.

Parking and rest room facilities are available. You can do small trek to view this gigantic waterfall. The view was stunned visulas that fals flow through valley. Currently water flow is just okay. Monsoon is Perfect time.

Excellent place to visit. Good waterfall in Sahyadri range near Satara. Walkways and stairs are well developed so you can have good views of waterfall. Entry fee is Rs 50 per person. If you want to see both falls you have to trek little more. Old age people who has difficulty in walking should avoid. Two water falls big and small. Big water fall can be seen from specially made overview platform. It's in valley and in rainy season you will enjoy this waterfall. Small water fall is from less height and you can go near falls. Cave behind waterfall is amazing. Enjoyed visit very much. Highly recommended during rainy season.

Satara Thoseghar Waterfall is one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Satara and an absolute must-visit place for nature lovers. Surrounded by dense greenery and countless trees, the area offers a breathtaking view of both big and small waterfalls cascading beautifully down the cliffs. The sound of the flowing water combined with the peaceful forest atmosphere makes it a truly refreshing experience. The main viewpoint gives a clear sight of the tall, majestic waterfall, which looks even more stunning during or right after the monsoon. The smaller waterfall area is also very scenic, and they even offer professional photography near the water at an extra charge of ₹2000 — a nice option if you want memorable pictures. Entry tickets cost ₹50 per person, and it’s definitely worth every rupee for the view and experience you get. The place is generally well-maintained, but visitors should be cautious about monkeys, especially while walking toward the big waterfall. These monkeys can be aggressive and may try to snatch food or bags, so carrying a stick for safety is advisable. Overall, Thoseghar Waterfall is a peaceful yet adventurous destination that offers stunning scenery, fresh air, and a close connection with nature. When in Satara, this place is not to be missed — especially if combined with a visit to the nearby Chalkewadi Windmills for a perfect day trip.

The Thoseghar Waterfall near Satara, Maharashtra, is known for its beautiful series of cascades, and visitor reviews frequently praise its scenic charm. The site is noted for being well-maintained and offering a less-crowded experience, especially if you visit during the week or early in the morning. A well-managed and tranquil experience What sets Thoseghar apart is its ability to offer a peaceful communion with nature, a stark contrast to more heavily commercialized destinations. The management of the site is a significant reason for this. Orderly infrastructure: The site features well-constructed pathways and steps, which are safe and easy to navigate. An observation gallery with protective railings has been set up to prevent accidents and give visitors an excellent view of the main falls. Controlled access: There is a nominal entry fee that contributes to the site's upkeep, and access is managed by forest officials at the gate. This helps control the number of people on-site at any given time. Viewing areas: Separate viewpoints are designated for the main and smaller waterfalls, providing a clear and safe way to enjoy both spectacular sights. This reduces crowding in any single spot and enhances the overall visitor experience.

Thoseghar Waterfall in Maharashtra’s Satara district is a natural wonder made up of two major waterfalls, locally known as chota dabdaba and motha dabdaba (meaning small and large waterfalls, respectively). The pathway to the chota dabdaba is quite long and has several ups and downs, but the view is absolutely worth it. Entry to this waterfall is restricted as the water flows with great force, making it risky for visitors. The paths are not well maintained and can get slippery due to the mist and splashes from the falls. There’s a viewing deck for the motha dabdaba, from where you can soak in the breathtaking view. The site is maintained by the Satara Forest Department. Parking space and washrooms are available, though the washroom wasn’t lit during the evening hours, which can be unsafe. Recommendations: - Wear good-quality sports or trekking shoes - Elderly visitors should avoid the steeper paths - Carry a water bottle if needed - Walk carefully; avoid rushing or running - Don’t litter - Don’t pluck flowers or disturb the natural surroundings

Has got a good view. There are multiple waterfalls there. The place is very neatly maintained. The washrooms are clean and also the surrounding.

The place is beautiful. There is some parking space 2-3 km before the lake, because the place gets too crowded especially around monsoons.

The Mahaganpati Temple in Wai is a beautiful and ancient place. The huge idol of Lord Ganesh is truly impressive. Beside it, there’s a Lord Shiva temple which is equally divine. The calm atmosphere and the Krishna river flowing beside the temple make it very peaceful. Chargeable parking for both two-wheelers and four-wheelers is available right next to the temple.

Beautiful place and temple. This temple made by peshva's as i told. Shiv and Gnesh temple nearby. Krishna river give this place a different vibe. October Month is good after monsoon to visit. 4 Wheelr parking 30 Rs. Recommended

Mahaganpati Temple, Wai Rating: ★★★★★ (4.6/5) Category: Hindu Temple | Landmark | Religious Site Review: A beautiful and peaceful temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha, located on the banks of the Krishna River in Wai. The temple is known for its ancient architecture and calm surroundings. It's clean, well-maintained, and not overly crowded, making it a perfect spot for both devotion and quiet reflection. The stone structure gives it a unique, historic vibe. Early mornings and evenings are especially serene. You can also enjoy a riverside walk or spend some peaceful time near the ghats. What people like: Calm and spiritual atmosphere Scenic river view Clean surroundings Ideal for family visits Tips: Visit early in the morning for fewer crowds Don't miss the nearby Dholya Ganpati Temple Footwear stand available outside Would definitely recommend visiting if you're in Wai or passing through Panchgani/Mahabaleshwar.

We visited wai Ganpati temple in weekend. The temple is very attractive. At the side of this temple lakshmi temple is there. The both are very beautiful. One of the thing most of the people are visited this temples in all over Maharashtra but there is no proper cleanliness is there. Please keep this area clean.

Wai Mahaganpati is something which is and should be on the must visit list. The temple and the idol dates back centuries with a beautiful ghat along the river where one can easily spend time around. Mostly it is not crowded and the entire premises is well maintained.

Good place. Peaceful. Temples are well constructed and give old era vibes. No ladies toilet there the only thing I don't like about that place. The river bank is there but not a clean river.

Mahaganpati also known as Dholya Ganpati in Wai, Satara is a must visit place if you are in Satara. There is Kashi vishweshwar madir too which has a big sculptor of Nandi and a Shivaling for shivbhakts. You are not allowed cameras in Mandir. You can pay n park if you are travelling via personal vehicals. I am glad that bhakts have maintained a great atmosphere in here which shows a lot of respect towards the lord. The murti is approximately 15-20 feet tall and it is very adorably made. The construction is a perfect combo of ancient and modern art. It is wholely made of rocks. Great place to experience holy peace and meditate.

Perfect set up for cooling down for school trips from Satara and Karad area. There are positive points as well as negative points also. 1. Though the set up is perfect for school trips, it is not suitable and conviniant for aged groups. 2. Too much of crowd and noise during the school trip visit time. 3. Swiming pool has plenty of leaves from nearby trees and looks like no efforts are made to remove the leaves regularly. 4. Though food is homely and tasty, it lacks variety. 5. Dinner time is too early for visitors who are staying overnight. 6.No drinks and no nonveg food reduces the enjoyment of aged and matured groups. ( But it is choice and policy of the administration of jeevan agro farm) Overall a satisfactory experience.

We visited this place yesterday and really enjoyed the greenery and peaceful atmosphere. The food was good, and the activities were fun and well-organized. However, the only downside was the swimming pool—it was poorly maintained and the water wasn't clean.

Best place for enjoyment with family and friends. Only 500 per person and you will get boating, swimming, water sports, rain dance, bailgada ride, tractor ride, veg food with icecream and nasta also. Very peaceful and relaxing place near Satara

Today 11 May 2025 I visited Janki Agro Tourism the place is located roughly 1 km from the Pune Bangalore highway. The road to the place was not good at all after reaching there the place was filled with a lot of people standing outside the ticket counter in a long queue as no online booking was accepted and many people were denied entry due to poor management. Entering the place with a morning package of 500rs from 10 am to 3 pm. Firstly they told us to have breakfast which was a limited one and if you asked something then you have to pay extra for it. The pool was congested and not a very attractive ride. The other activities were not that much interesting it was just minimalist. Overall it's OK OK type for a family trip.

Very good location... Enjoying full day... Improve food & breakfast quality... Add 1 more sound box + add rides activities

Too much chlorine in the water... Smelly water.. The food tasted good but i got a cockroach in my food.. boats are not properly working. Good ambience..

Water activities are excellent. Food quality can be improved. Overall nice experience to hangout with family or a group

No introduction needed for this iconic place—its rich history and cultural significance are already well-documented in countless reviews. For me, this was an unplanned, last-minute stop on the way to my hometown, but one that instantly brought back vivid memories from the movie Chhaava. The architecture is truly awe-inspiring, a reflection of the incredible craftsmanship of that era. If you’re passing through this area, this is definitely a must-visit spot that transports you to another time.

This stepwell is off road 7 km from going to kaas plateau or satara. Small road but bus and car easily accessible. Old heritage well..unique architecture for storage of water. Constructed in 17 century for water supply to nearby plantations by Bhosale family. Located in Limb village and is 110 feet deep and 50 ft in diameter. Also has old shiv mandir besides.Follow for more updates.

It’s a historical and ancient site showcasing impressive architecture. Located in a village about 3–4 km from the highway, the approach road isn’t in great condition. It’s recommended to read about the place beforehand or hire a local guide to fully understand its significance. The well could be better maintained and cleaned

Located in beautiful Limb village near Satara this place is a fascinating historical site that showcases the architectural brilliance of the Maratha era. This stepwell was designed to supply water to nearby mango Measuring 110 feet deep and 50 feet in diameter. The surrounding area is serene, with sugarcane and turmeric fields, village roads leading to this peaceful well. Baramotichi Vihir is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone interested in exploring the cultural heritage of Maharashtra.

Amazing place to visit. A well built in the era of CHATRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ!!! A place kept clean and maintained by local villagers. Hatss off to their efforts. If you are in Satara, this place is much visit

This is one of the best places from karad itself. Mostly played game over here is Cricket. Localites get morning walk here. On the occasion of Yoga Day , Vinay Diwas, Republic Day, Independence Day etc. People gather here to celebrate the occasion. The place is easily can be reached out from bus stand by share auto or private auto. Road to reach here is smooth and clean. Climate in this area is such great. Most preferred attraction of this place is Vijay Diwas. It is celebrated 3 days continuously on 14,15,16 december. 16th of december is conclusion day of this occasion. Along with this many sport competitions, school programs, adventurous activities are held. Place is pretty clean and neet.

Sports complex with big ground ….sports complex for indoor games is also available here…. You can exercise or run at this place…. This stadium is with seating structure around the ground Parking is also available outside the stadium…. You can play cricket, basketball, football, badminton etc. nice sports stadium 🏟️

Having such a facility at your place really helps building your kids future. When reached this stadium felt proud. Provision for differently abled to reach the stadium

Area is clean and very big also all faceletyes is avaliable and there are 1 basketball cot is avaliable to play basketball...

Best place for exercise and sports This is centrally located Cricket stadium in Karad, having international standerd turf wicket. Other than cricket this stadium mostly used for local events,political rallies, and other functions. There were two Ranji Troffy matches was played on this stadium.

Well maintained and good ambience,not a perfect mat track,it's a mud track but in a very well condition, shuttle badminton court inside, old school bars, toilet facilities for men as well as women,car parking facilities, drinking water, overall a good place for jogging and morning walks in karad

Nice museum, very (Rare)painting available here. like Raja Ravi verma This is must visitable place for Artists 🎨 This museum deserves 5 star rating for Art. This museum established by Raja Pantpratinidhi. One of the notable foreign artists whose paintings are displayed in the Bhavani Museum, Aundh is Henry Moore. Here is a blend of foreign and indian art 🎭

What a fantastic muesum in small town of Aundh. This is great visionary museum and its very good museum crafted by Aundh sansthan and Maharashtra Government. You can spend almost half day here lots of painting and historical thing's are here. Each and every section is master piece here. Garden is good and ticket is only 10 ruppes. This whole building is spectacular. Must visit place for history and art lovers. Photography inside muesum is not allowed. So click only outside picture but its must visit place

A beautiful museum with very rare artifcats and many things to see. There are beautiful paintings and sculptures of various types by various artists. There are very beautiful metallic and ivory sculptures with intricate details. There are sandalwood carvings and also ancient papers. It's a shame that that the Government of Maharashtra which looks after this museum has not cared to check spelling mistakes in the labels under the paintings. Even Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's spelling is spelled wrong multiple times. This is not right for such a beautiful museum and such mistakes are not good when serious foreign tourists visit.

Museum has more than 8,000 articles and 16,000 books including 3500 holy books (handwritten). Shrimant Balasaheb Maharaj studied the science of museum and constructed the present building with the help of foreign architects, considering natural light , ventilation and protection. Its great wonder to see the huge one man collection in such a rural area of the district. The scenic building of the museum situated on the slope of Aundh Hill, famous ‘Yamai Mandir’ is located at the top of hill with height approx. 800 ft. Aundh is 43 Kms from Satara, well connected by roads.

Ticket price 10, no camera allowed, sculpture of Tibetan, Europe available, painting of Europe, North India, Tibetan, ancient painting, mythology painting available

More than 500 paintings & 100s of monuments. Ancient cameras and what not. At least need 2 to 3 hours to explore the complete museum. No cameras or photoshoot allowed inside. The museum entrance is so photogenic and a garden itself. Also, ancient craved statues made of black stones like ajanta are kept under a shade. So that people could get in the vibe before entering the museum. Highly recommended. Must visit.

Awesome Museum with rare collection of so many historic items... Will be back again with family !!
