Location and neighbourhood

Koregaon Park is a quiet, leafy neighbourhood in east Pune. Wide lanes lined with old bungalows and garden restaurants give it a relaxed, residential feel. The area is known for its green spaces, including the Osho Teerth park, and for its cluster of upscale hotels. Couples appreciate the calm atmosphere, away from the city's busier commercial zones. The streets are safe for evening walks, and many cafes and eateries spill onto verandas and lawns. This part of Pune feels more like a small town than a large city, making it a natural choice for a slow weekend.

The neighbourhood sits close to the Mula-Mutha river, and its tree-lined roads are popular with joggers and cyclists. Koregaon Park has a distinct character, with a mix of old colonial-era houses and modern apartments. The Osho International Meditation Resort draws visitors from around the world, adding a spiritual and cosmopolitan edge to the area. Despite its calm, the area is well connected. You can reach the city centre in about 15 minutes by car or auto-rickshaw. The nearby Koregaon Park Plaza and Lane 6 offer a few shops and casual dining options.
