Schedule outdoor activities for early mornings (7-10 AM) or late afternoons (4-7 PM) to avoid peak heat. Midday is perfect for indoor attractions like museums.
Use auto-rickshaws for short trips (negotiate fare beforehand), Ola/Uber for convenience, or local buses for budget travel. Pune Metro is also operational on select routes.
December can have high air quality index. Check daily AQI and limit strenuous outdoor activities when it spikes. Consider wearing a mask on high pollution days.
Carry water at all times. The dry weather and walking can be dehydrating. Drink bottled or filtered water only.
Eat at busy, popular restaurants. Try street food from crowded stalls (high turnover = fresh food). Avoid raw salads and unpeeled fruits from street vendors.
Remove shoes before entering. Dress modestly (covered shoulders and knees). Photography may be restricted in some areas - always ask first.
