  • Is Pune worth visiting? Manisha and I spent 3 days there, visiting all the sights and trying all the local food. We'll give you our honest review of Pune and whether it's worth your time.
    Pune, located in the western state of Maharashtra, India, has a rich history, a vibrant cultural scene, and beautiful natural surroundings. The city offers a wide range of activities to explore and enjoy. Some of the best things to do in Pune include visiting the historical Aga Khan Palace, which played a significant role in India's struggle for independence, exploring the beautiful Shaniwar Wada Palace, and wandering through the charming lanes of the old city.
    For nature lovers, a visit to the serene Pashan Lake or the stunning Sinhagad Fort is a must.
    Pune is also known for its delicious street food, so make sure to indulge in some local delicacies like vada pav and misal pav. Overall, Pune is a city with a unique blend of history, culture, and nature, making it a must-visit destination for any traveller.
    The city has been an important centre for various dynasties and empires throughout history, including the Maratha Empire, the Peshwas, and the British Raj. The city is home to several other historical sites like the Shaniwar Wada Palace, Lal Mahal, and the Parvati Hill Temple, which give a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Pune.
    Pune's history and cultural legacy make it an important destination for anyone interested in India's past.

    Just a small correction: Maratha empire was not just from Central India. There is a colloquial saying in Maharashtra- Maratha empire spanned from Attok(Punjab, Pakistan) to Cuttack(Orissa, India). It was the Marathas who destroyed the Mughals and made them their vassals before the British took over all of us.

Honestly as a North Indian I liked only Vada Pao, Pao Bhaji and Mastani-falooda special Icecream there as a local food but the most lovable thing about Pune is weather.. go there in Monsoon season between June-September, you will love the weather. Eating Vada pao and drinking chai besides the Pune-Lonavala highway, I still can't forget🥰🥰 Best City for living.

      Pune has become a deteriorating city with its vegetation reduced by 70% since 2008, with ever-increasing traffic without a local rail network, and unlike Mumbai, it's no longer a cosmopolitan city.
      Its prime was in 2010, back then it used to be like what Navi Mumbai is today

    Although I'm a Punekar so I'm biased but the best description of Pune was from a colleague who had shuttled for work between other major cities in India before settling here. He said 'Pune is big and small at the same time. 8th largest metro in the country with an IT base and great educational institutes, vibrant night life and a superior value of living which is what you expect from a Tier 1 city(which Pune is) but when u need it, it manages to give you spaces within itself in the form of gardens and forts and cosy little lanes and bylanes which makes u wonder whether you're in a metropolis at all'...

But when you visited Pune, looking you travel the streets I travel along daily and enjoying the local food it literally feels great. Your curiosity to know the marathi culture and way you enjoyed your time here makes me feel proud as a Maharashtrian. I wish our paths could have crossed and i could have met you when you were in pune. Lots of love and blessings to both of you 💝

    It's such a great city!
    I used to stay here for my studies and visited this city often in between even after completing my studies over here. I am talking about the period between 2003-2010 and during those days, I swear this city used to be heaven! Really, the weather, the surroundings, and everything else about it used to be so unique and enviable actually.....
    But now, sadly it has changed very much. It has become so congested..... Everywhere there are flyovers and flyovers and one has to experience long traffic jams even in those flyovers!
    At that time, this was definitely not the case. People have literally destroyed the hills and beautiful natural surroundings of Pune, just to build their residential complexes or open an educational institution and what not. This city has been heavily urbanised at the cost of sacrificing it's most valuable asset.... It's precious natural surroundings!
    During my time, in summers temperature went to maximum of 22 to 30 degrees. And in the winters it used to dip to as low as 4 degrees, often! Rainy season used to be lovely over there, with fog all around the massive hills surrounding it.
    That Pune I remember is lost now. It has become a dream now, which may be, can never be fulfilled now. 😔
    Thanks Pune for everything.

      You observation is correct. I used to spend my summer holidays here with my mama in early 90s. And as we entered Pune it used to feel like completely different city out of India. Calm, clean and organised. Sadly not any more. Your comment on summer and winter temperature is also spot on. Poorly planned and designed rods and flyovers have spoilt the aesthetics of city.

The rest of the country is like Pune only- less crowd, less traffic, cleaner and greener. Next time visit any 2 tier 3 tier city or a village. You will be pleasantly surprised.

      If you want to find dirty places they are available in each and every big city in the world. Be it New York or anywhere else.
      Even in Pune or the cleanest Indian city Indore (in central India) you will find it.
      Crowded - Yes. For hundreds and thousands of years India was the most populated country. And it still is.

He coined the term Hindavi Swaraj and took and oath to free India all foreign rule aka Mughals. We're a very touchy lot when it comes to our cultural pride.
    Just as an example, he took an oath of blood on a Shiva linga for Hindu swaraj at the age of 16.

    If you want a good cake shop I recommend Bangalore Iyangar Bakery. They are so tasty cakes I really love them
    Also best pizzas you'll find in New Poona bakery Hadapsar

    Amazing Vlog Karl. Just a correction, Pune is Tier 1 city and the only Metro in India which is not a state capital. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaz were the ruler of India and the empire spread to present day Pakistan. You should live in Pune west, which is well connected to Pune Bangalore Highway as well as Pune Mumbai expressway. It’s the city if hills, wherever you roll your eyes, you will see them. It’s also the city with highest Rooftop solar installations in India.
    There are many posh areas in Pune so do check them out along with historic and old city.

No floods,no frequent earthquake or other natural disasters,we have traffic but not as much compared to other metropolitan cities,no water scarcity, top notch educational institutions,greenery,no often power cuts,and the living expenses are not that high too and jyada pollution bhi nahi hai. which is why it's preferred by students to study here.

    Hey Karl, Pune is known for its good weather all year long, especially winter. But you missed the core Pune area. It is a must-visit area in Peths of Pune. And if possible during the Ganpati festival. You would not want to leave this place. The celebration just livens up the whole city. And add Puran poli, Ukadiche Modak to your food list. Love from Punekars.

    Fifteen years ago, when I was in junior high school, my English teacher studied in Pune so she always told her story about her experience in Pune. Yes, she said Pune was a clean city. Hopefully someday I could take my Master degree scholarship in my country by choosing Pune.
