The information in this post might be outdated

You’ve gotta visit the beautiful and mystical Aga Khan Palace in Kalyani Nagar, which also holds a tragic history within its walls. The palace served as the prison for Mahatma Gandhi, Kasturba Gandhi, his secretary Mahadev Desai and the nightingale of India, Sarojini Naidu. Situated on the Pune-Nagar road, not that from away from Viman Nagar, Aga Khan Palace is a grand old spatial palace that may as well be from the Victorian times, a perfect place to have a picnic. With lush green sprawling gardens, long corridors and arched roofs and intricately designed pillars, it comes with an ironic historical detail attached it. This palace was built in 1892 by Imma Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III who donated this property way back in 1969 to Pune. Visiting hours are 9am to 5:30 pm all days of the week with an entry fee of INR 5 for adults, INR 2 for children and INR 100 for foreign citizens.
