So, you think it’s all in Mumbai? [Okay, you aren’t that wrong] But here are five reasons to consider if Pune is a smarter pick…

1. It’s literally a cool city.

The weather is good in Pune. Period. Sultry days are from elsewhere. Here it’s about balmy afternoons.

2. The Traffic

Traffic in Pune is pretty decent, really. You won’t find the madcap rush of Mumbai here. Not like you’re going to miss it, right?

3. The Cost

Living in Pune is way cheaper than in Mumbai. Just tally the rents and you’ll know.

4. The Crowd

Pune is not known as the Cultural Capital of Maharashtra for nothing. Plus, in the recent years, Pune has risen to host some of the most crowd pulling cultural events in country, and attracted a most happening crowd every time.

5. The Places

While natural beauty abounds in Pune, Pune is also a gateway to a number of weekend and holiday destinations, most of them hill stations too.
