What Pune is like

Pune hits different than other Indian cities. You've got the startup energy of Hacker House and Koregaon Park alongside centuries-old temples in Deccan. Skip the tourist traps and head to Bopodi for breakfast—misal pav that'll ruin you for everywhere else. Walk around Shaniwar Wada at sunrise when it's quiet, then grab coffee at Blue Tokai in Camp. The city breathes philosophy (Osho lived here) mixed with genuine ambition. Aga Khan Palace feels forgotten, which makes it perfect. Locals are sharp, direct, genuinely helpful. Monsoon transforms everything green and moody. The weather stays pleasant most of the year, making it liveable in ways Mumbai and Delhi aren't. It's India without the overwhelming sensory assault, but with all the depth.
