Is Pune safe for solo female travelers?

Pune is relatively safe for solo female travelers in comparison to several other cities in India. It has been home to a large international student population and expats, suggesting a certain degree of safety. However, like any other city, it has its own share of crime. Use basic safety precautions like avoiding isolated areas at night, not displaying expensive items, and using reliable transportation.

How safe is Pune for solo female travelers?

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.

It is a student city primarily, lots of nightlife, clubbing and restaurants. Mostly youngsters and crime rate is moderate. Safer than majority of Indian cities for women for sure. Love the secure life.

Pune feels safer compared to other cities. I personally haven’t experienced anything in Pune. I am coming from Delhi so here it definitely feels safer. I have taken night cabs and late night hangouts with friends it was ok. But you still need to be aware.
