Culture Park" near Pune |

We chartered a bus, which picked us all up just outside of our Janata
Vasahat neighborhood at 9:30am. After a one-hour drive out of
town, we arrived at Sanskruti Culture Park where we spent the entire day
taking part in various cultural activities including pottery lessons,
henna, painting, dancing, puppet shows, and magic acts. We also
had plenty of time just to play and wander the beautiful landscaped
grounds of the park, and best of all we had a fantastic breakfast and
lunch!
