Safety in Lune really depends on which part of Pune you are in. The central areas are pretty crowded, and can get unsafe sometimes, especially for people coming from out of Pune/India The outskirts are comparatively way safer, and far less crowded. I would suggest staying in the outskirts and travelling to the center for sightseeing
Posted: April 22, 2025Pune as a city I will consider to be mediocre in safety as aspect. During the day I will say it not an issue but during late night I donot feel safe due to incidents happening in pune regarding sexual harassment and many more.
Posted: April 9, 2025Pune is generally safe based on my experience of 1 year here. I haven’t yet experienced the night life but please don’t go alone. Punekars are either the nicest or a psychopath, there’s no in between

Pune is a nice city. But in comparison to the major cities in india it is definitely safe. But like every other place in the world being cautious is always a plus. Situational awareness is a must. But I believe good people are everywhere so it is pretty safe.
Posted: March 1, 2025Pune is overall safe but depends on the area you are at. Please carry pepper spray as your defence. And if you want to enjoy the night life of Pune city, go to “koregaon park”, “Balewadi high street”
Posted: February 24, 2025Pune is a safe City for females. At night women can also walk on the streets alone. People are sometime helpful but will not do anything wrong. Still it is adviced to stay aware and be cautious about your safety.
Posted: February 14, 2025Pune is pretty safe. Even cab drivers and auto drivers are not usually sexually threatening. Sometimes they might ask for extra fare or put you in an uncomfortable spot just to get a little extra money from you, but otherwise, you don’t feel unsafe. I have taken cabs late at night, around two or three in the morning, in a drunk state, wearing short clothes. Even then, I never felt anybody sexually objectified me. Usually, people treat you as an individual rather than as a female where there might be an opportunity for them. It is pretty safe, and even late at night, you will find females around. However, as a general precaution, ensure you have somebody to call in case things escalate, or avoid places where a lot of local people gather, as those places can be a little unsafe at night.
Posted: February 9, 2025I have been living in Pune for the last 10 years, and I really like Pune in terms of safety. I feel very safe in Pune. Of course, basic precautions are necessary because you never know who might do what. But overall, I have never felt unsafe in Pune.

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
Posted: January 16, 2025Pune 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
Posted: January 12, 2025We 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.
