I heard many times from my friends ki Pune isa hai vaisa hai, Pune is the best etc. So this time I decided to go there and explore. When i landed their i feel it is totally different from other metro cities. No tallest building like Delhi, Mumbai. Also no crowds and no traffic problems. I love the way of spread society, infrastructure in the pune. You may be say Pune is the metro city where you can live with natural. Pune weather is too good for travelers mainly in Monsoon.
Pune Tourist Attractions:
Osho Ashram, Shaniwar Wada, Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum, Tribal Museum, Gandhi National Memorial / Aga Khan Palace, Vishrambaug Wada, Bund Garden.
But beside these point you can also go for dam , best dam as per my view is Mulshi Lake and Dam and Western Ghat . lots of other ghat is also very good. So if you want then ignore the other points and cover the ghats and dam which is done by me on the first day.
