Pataleshwar Temple, Pune, India Address: Jangali Maharaj Rd, Revenue Colony, Shivajinagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411005 My Experience: Pataleshwar is a cave temple and just in the middle of the city. No dedicated parking for the temple. You need to park your car on the Jangli Maharaj roadside. We struggled for 4 wheeler parking and parked 800m away and came back by walk. It's a very peaceful temple. Mahatma Phule Museum, Pune, India Address:  1204/10, Ghole Rd, Shivajinagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411004 Timing: Opens every day from 9am to 5pm. Ticket: 10rs per person My experience: Very few people visit Mahatma Phule Museum . Not much to see and not well maintained. Very little lighting. 10rs ticket. You can spend  10 min to 30 min max.
