💡 What we know about Pune pilgrims — 15 seasons of experience
Pune sends a steady and loyal contingent. Maratha families from the Peth areas see Char Dham as a natural extension of their Pandharpur and Jejuri pilgrim tradition. Several Pune families have booked with us three or more consecutive years. The post-Gudi Padwa window — late March and April — sees booking spikes from Pune even before the season opens. Maharashtrian pilgrims plan the yatra as a new year spiritual journey. Book by February if you want a May departure.
