Bridging the gap between the bustling IT hubs of Maharashtra and the spiritual gateway of eastern Uttar Pradesh means crossing most of the Indian subcontinent. Pune is known for its Maratha history and its modern industry, and Gorakhpur is the link for travelers heading toward the Nepalese border or the Buddhist pilgrimage sites of Kushinagar. The journey leads from the Western Ghats to the fertile plains of the Terai region.
