Pune is a very balanced city. On one side you have the high rises and on the other, rustic forts and hills. It is a great amalgamation of nature and city life and we love that. For all those who love exploring the green patches of the city, here are 5 places where you can go on a walking trail.
These 5 Walking Trails In Pune Will Give You The True Essence Of The City!
Koregaon Park
We all know Koregaon Park as the hippest part of the city. KP is where you will find all the party animals of the city, sitting in bars and restaurants but did you know there is another side to the area? As soon as you enter KP you will see these beautiful lanes covered in banyan trees. Get down on the North Main Road and walk through lane no 3, 2 and 1 to experience a peaceful morning or evening walk. These lanes are lined up with lavish bungalows and are covered in big old trees. It's a great spot for photographers and if you are into fitness, then jogging here is going to be a bliss.
Baner Hill
Have you ever noticed the temple on top of a hill when you are on Baner Road? Hike up to the temple and go beyond to explore great views of the city.

Sweat out those calories by exercising in the jungle gym or just pick a spot for meditation and yoga. The feeling of peace will be too real.
Camp
