I visited Balaji Temple near Narayanpur on february 1, 2012. It is a nice place to spend two-three hours with friends/family.
Timings: We started from Aundh at 3 PM in the afternoon. The temple is around 50 km from Pune. From Chandani Chowk, take NH-4 towards Bangalore. The exact route is Warje-Ambegaon-Budruk-Khed-Kapurhol-Balaji Temple. There is a turn at Kapurhol towards Narayanpur that you should not miss. The temple remains open between 6AM-8PM. The aartis are conducted at fixed timings of the day.
Parking: There was ample parking available since it was a weekday. I am not sure if weekends remain full.
Fees: There are no fees anywhere but as you enter the temple, some teenagers come to put a tilak on your forehead and you are forced to shell some coins. This to me seems like a forceful donation but I managed to get away with just Rs. 2.
Attractions: The temple has beautiful carvings but I couldn't take a lot of photos. Here are some for your delight:
