Pune City Essential Facts

No Comments

Pune is also called as the Oxford of the East and the cultural capital of Maharashtra, Pune has grown rapidly over the past few decades.

LANGUAGE: The regional language in Pune City, India is Marathi. Unlike many other Indian regional languages, Marathi is easy to understand, posing not too many problems to the tourist.
It holds with the national language Hindi.

TRAFFIC: Traffic in Pune does get congested and  it is best to travel either via two-wheelers or auto rickshaws in the interiors but that will make you exposed to the unhealthy polluted air cars are thus a safer option. The amount of two-wheelers and women drivers here is probably one of the highest in the country. 

SAFETY: As is with the most of the cites, the intra-city areas are very safe even during the night. Venturing alone or into unknown areas near the ghats or on the outskirts are not advisable.

Though Pune does not report of very serious crime rates, petty thefts etc. are to be watched out for. Do not stop to give lifts or to ask directions during night times in isolated areas. 

             
CURRENCY:
The Indian Rupee is the used currency. Many new currency exchange points and ATM centers have come up all over the city over the last two years making money very easily accessible for visitors. Always carry loose change in coins for urgent calls, parking etc. Beware of the Rs 500 notes, check them before using.

THE PUNEITE:
The Puneite is definitely much more relaxed and friendly than the average Bombayite. A warm greeting about his wellbeing will do him in and mind you, he’s very touchy about Pune.
The most outstanding aspect of Pune and its people is the sound balance they have maintained between modernity and their age-old rich culture and tradition. No wonder, it’s called the ‘Cultural Capital of Maharashtra’ as well as ‘The Oxford of the East’.
