Pune is often regarded as the most beautiful city in all of India, known for its perfect climate, lush vegetation and scenic landscapes. According to a Livability Index released by the Indian Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Pune is also the most livable city in India.

This notable honor was measured by an ease of living framework that covered four areas – institutional, social, economic and physical, which were broken down into 15 categories and 78 indicators. The ranking was based on a grading of 111 major cities across the nation – three cities from Maharashtra made the top 10.

The original article discussing the rankings was published by The Times of India on Aug 13, 2018.

Most people come to the Meditation Resort early in the morning (the first meditation starts at 6 am), and leave in the evening after dinner, the last meditation, or an evening event.

 

Pre-booking a hotel between November to February is advised, particularly for the Osho Guesthouse.

 

Pre-paid Taxi are available at the airport or Rickshaws at the train station and on most streets in the city. Make sure, before you start, that the driver agrees to use the fare meter. If he won't, negotiate the price ahead of time. Often the driver will insist on extra for luggage. 

 

For your daily transport needs, you can also rent a scooter or a motorbike. You can rent motorbikes in the Koregaon Park area. An international driver's license is needed. 

 

Many items that you may need for your stay are available on the Meditation Resort campus. Many common imported goods are now available in India, but see this list for things which may not be easy to buy. If you have unusual medical or high-tech needs, bring those items with you.
