Pune to Kolhapur cab
Round trip or one way · about 235 km · 4 to 4.5 hours by road · sedan ₹13/km on the HireCab Pune rate card
A Pune to Kolhapur cab takes your family to the home of Shri Mahalaxmi (Ambabai), one of the most revered Shakti Peethas in India. Families make this trip for darshan at the Mahalaxmi Temple, a visit to Jyotiba on the hill, a day at Panhala Fort, and of course for Kolhapuri misal, tambda-pandhra rassa and Kolhapuri chappals. We pick you up anywhere in Pune or Pimpri-Chinchwad, or from Pune station or airport, and one clean car with one experienced driver stays with you for the whole trip.
The Pune–Bengaluru highway is a fast four-lane road, but with a private cab you still get the comfort of leaving when you like, stopping at Satara or Karad for food, and having the same car for all the temples and sights around Kolhapur.
