Location and neighbourhood

The streets are wide and the pace is slower than the old city. For couples on a slow weekend, the tree-lined avenues and quiet lanes of Baner and Aundh offer a relaxed atmosphere.

Getting there and around

Within West Pune, the Metro's Aqua Line stops at several stations in Kothrud and near the district court, connecting to the railway station and the eastern suburbs. Auto-rickshaws are plentiful on the main roads. For a slow weekend, consider hiring a car for trips to the hills or the forts. Traffic on Baner Road and the Mumbai–Pune highway can be heavy during peak hours.

Nearby sights and food

The Pataleshwar caves, an 8th-century rock-cut temple, lie on Jangli Maharaj Road. Parvati Hill offers a stone stairway climb and Peshwa-era temples with views over the city.
