GIRINAGAR
Pristine Paradise in Pune
Tell me, which is the most beautiful, most pristine, most unpolluted and most verdant place in Pune?

The pleasant, salubrious, tranquil, stress-free, easygoing, cozy, affable Pune I once lived in no longer exists. Yes, the Pune I once lived in no longer exists...!!!
Every nook and corner of Pune has suffered the ravages of “modernization”.
Except one place – Girinagar. Yes, there still exists a pristine paradise in Pune - Girinagar.

In the mornings as you climb up the hills cleansing, refreshing, revitalizing and invigorating your lungs with the clean unpolluted pure fresh air, you look in the distance and see the heavy layer of smog settling down over the city of Pune
And now the monsoons have arrived and it has started raining.
The sensuous mist envelops all around, everything is a soothing green, and the place is simply magnificent!
Truly a "pristine paradise" in Pune...!
