Is Pune safe for women?

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.

Pune in my experience is one of safest cities to travel in India. Unlike Mumbai it's not buzzing in night but it has its own magic in solitude of night. I have travelled solo at 2 and 3 at night and I never felt unsafe (Given you don't count ghosts xD) Just kidding. It's pretty safe in my opinion.

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.
