I have been staying in Pune for past 11 yrs. I am not from pune. I came here for my studies and then started doing job and have never experienced anything harsh or even eve teasing. May be once or twice 11 yrs. I have stayed mostly in popular areas so can't talk about rural areas or outskirt, however, even when I went out in outskirt, i never experienced anything. It is very safe to be out at night or late night. A girl can go out at night without thinkign twice

Pune is very safe for women we literally used to hang out after 10 pm and wander the streets on our vehicles there are no threats and even the roads are not asleep during the night its very safe based on my personal experience being a teenage girl

It's fairly safe. I have been in this city for more than 5 years now, and I travel alone for most of my time even after dark. It feels safe even then, except for a few areas which are usually known for uncomfortable crowd and being too quiet after a certain time.

Comparatively Pune is safer than other cities in India. As many young people and literate people reside in Pune there's less to worry. Do not travel in dark through quite lanes. If you feel insecure prefer having a local person with you to travel with that would make you feel safer. Overall nothing much to worry about.

Pretty safe. The security in the main areas is great at night because of the police patrols. Not so sure about the outskirts/newly developed areas. As long as you're dressed in a way that does not draw too much attention, like in unisex clothing, there are less chances of being bothered by anyone at night. During the day, everything is okay

Many things like rape and assault have happened in Pune, I’m not blaming women/girls who go out at late night but most of these cases happened at late night. If you are staying at a decent hotel and roaming at daytime bfr 10 it will be safe for you. But like my mother advices me always be aware no matter the conditions.

In india pune is one of the safest places and many people from india prefer to settle down in pune because of safety and climate, in pune you can see security guards everywhere in gardens in local areas and also have security at night time police and medical services are good here

Its quite safe, especially as a girl and a university student. I reside at the University dorm, but all in all its a great experience to live in pune. Food is quite cheap, and reasonable. Cafe hopping is great, quite aesthetic.

Pune is a chill place to be. As a woman, I can be out of my house until 2-3 in the morning and have faced no difficulties finding a safe commute to any place or getting food if I'm craving something. I can definitely say that Pune has good weather, good food, and good vibes.

Pune generally feels safe, but there are occasional incidents to be mindful of, as shared by my roommate. It’s usually fine to roam around at night, but it’s better not to be alone, especially on a scooty. While people here don’t tend to stare inappropriately, caution is still advised. Be particularly careful in clubs—stay aware of your surroundings and avoid overindulging in alcohol. Taking personal responsibility for your safety is crucial. Always prioritize your well-being and stay vigilant to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience.

Is Pune worth visiting?

Family travel

We were invited to a wedding, it was really exciting. The people are great! There are a lot of stray dogs, which made me feel a bit unsafe. If you are not outside in the night alone it’s totally fine. There is great nature to check out. One time we went to a place where they farm strawberries. The food there was so delicious and with fresh strawberries. One has to get used to the way they live (sleeping on the floor, peeing into a hole on the ground) but it’s all part of the experience and that’s what makes it so rememberable and exciting. I recommend renting a car.

About Me

I love getting to know people, their stories and their perspective on life. I feel we are not meant to live our life in installments of scarce escape we get in between work and other chores. I want to make friends, community and explore the world while I'm at it.
