What people say, in short
Purandar Fort is a day trip from Pune that several commenters recommend, as a bike ride via Saswad or a monsoon outing. One traveller suggests it for anyone who dislikes crowds: they say it is an army area where phones are deposited at the base, which keeps it quiet, and they find it a lovely fort to wander.
