Where to stay in Rasta Peth
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Rasta Peth takes its name from a family, not a weekday. Pune's peths are named both ways, some after days of the week and some after the people who founded or held them, and Rasta Peth belongs to the second kind. Nana Peth is next along. Book in the newer city.

About Rasta Peth
What are the main landmarks in Rasta Peth?
The landmark list here belongs to the wider old city. Shaniwar Wada, the Omkareshwar temple and the rest of what a visitor comes to Pune for stand in the neighbouring peths, and Rasta Peth's own buildings carry no listing of their own. The ward is the thing to see.
What is the history of Rasta Peth?
The Raste family stood close to the Peshwas. A relative of theirs gave this ward its name, in the manner of the Maratha capital where a peth took the name of whoever established it, and the arrangement outlasted the empire that made it. Pune still counts its peths.
The names did not change.
Where is Rasta Peth?
Rasta Peth sits among the wards of Pune's old city, east of Shaniwar Peth and the Mutha river.
