Amazing experience. Great weather. Lovely sunsets and view. I saw flamingos there from nri complex. Did night outs and felt safe during entire night. Police was making rounds in the area and making sure we were safe

Explored the entire Mahabaleshwar within a week. Booked a cab service who'd show us everywhere, but we did out research before. The food was expensive but worth it. Out stay was a small size villa or guest house since we only wanted to rest there.

Amazing city, with amazing places to explore. Food is very authentic and delicious, surprisingly very different from the northern cuisine. The night vibe is amazing.

It's mostly safe during the day but you still have to stay very alert. After night unless and until you are with a male you trust i would suggest not being outdoors. Better to stay indoors after 10 pm.

Not very safe for the ladies. Avoid night travel and keep your belongings safe while roaming in the open. Also, don’t trust people easily here, and only trust on people you genuinely know. Stay protected from the pollution level too of the city.

It is quite safe but off late the night life has gone for a toss so can't comment on that. Places such as kothrud, SB road, law college road, Nal stop, Bavdhan are really safe during the day. Construction sites are probably places you could avoid

About me
I have lived in 7 cities in past 15 years, across India. I would similarly like to explore the world. My current plan is to visit the seven sisters in North East India. Places in my bucket list are Machu Pichu in Peru, Masai Mara in Kenya, Egypt. I wish to scuba dive, see the northern lights, visit the untouched caves and waters. I spent my 20s on responsibilities and now I want to live my life just travelling and gaining new experiences.
