Pune’s twin city, served door to door
Pimpri-Chinchwad is a big city in its own right, and we treat it that way. We pick up from all over PCMC, including Nigdi, Akurdi, Chinchwad, Pimpri, Bhosari, Moshi and Chikhali, without asking you to come into Pune first. A tempo traveller on rent in Pimpri-Chinchwad starts its trip from your gate.
Dehu and Alandi on your doorstep
Few places in Maharashtra are as close to two of the state’s most loved pilgrim towns. Dehu is linked with Sant Tukaram, and Alandi with Sant Dnyaneshwar. Both sit just outside PCMC. Families often book a short local trip to cover both in a single day, sometimes adding the Morya Gosavi temple in Chinchwad.
The palkhis for the Pandharpur wari also set out from Dehu and Alandi, so many PCMC families plan their own Pune to Pandharpur tempo traveller trip around that season. Our pilgrimage trips from Pune guide has more ideas.
Company groups from the industrial belt
Bhosari MIDC, Pimpri and nearby Chakan are home to many factories and offices. Their staff and unions book tempo travellers for annual picnics, family days and temple trips. For larger teams, a 26-seater keeps everyone in one vehicle, and a weekday outing is often easier to arrange than a busy weekend.
Heading out of PCMC
PCMC’s location saves time on several popular trips:
- Lonavala and Khandala are close by via the old Mumbai–Pune highway, so a relaxed day trip is easy.
- Bhimashankar is reached through Chakan and Rajgurunagar, without crossing Pune city. See our Pune to Bhimashankar tempo traveller page for a day plan.
- Ashtavinayak groups from PCMC often begin with the temples on the northern side of the circuit.
Common pickup points include Bhakti Shakti Chowk in Nigdi, Akurdi and Chinchwad railway stations, and the main gates of Bhosari MIDC. Book by phone call or WhatsApp. Fares are per km with a daily minimum distance, and toll, parking, state permit and driver allowance are usually extra on outstation trips.
