Pune is a city located in the western Indian state of Maharashatra and is the 8th largest urban agglomeration in India with a population of 4.5 million. Just 100 miles from Mumbai, it rests majestically at an altitude of 560 meters above sea level and therefore enjoys a salubriant climate throughout the year.
