Sometimes, the best kind of escapes are the ones that don’t need much planning and don’t involve getting stuck in traffic. As someone living in East Pune, I often look for short half-day trips where I can enjoy nature, breathe fresh air, and spend some quality time away from the city chaos. Ramdara Temple is one such peaceful retreat located just about 30 km from Pune.

Peaceful Mornings at the Pune Okayama Friendship Garden
On a calm, foggy winter Saturday morning, my partner and I woke up much earlier than usual, around 5:30 am. For days, I had been thinking about showing Ranjan parts of Pune that I had already explored. We decided to visit the Pune-Okayama Friendship Garden, located on Sinhagad Road in Pune. It is also known as the Pu La Deshpande Japanese Garden inspired by the famous Korakuen Garden in Okayama, Japan.
