The Best Early Morning Cycling Routes in Pune During the Rains

There is something genuinely magical about cycling through Pune on a monsoon morning. The city is quieter than at any other time. The air

carries the smell of damp earth and freshly washed roads. The hills surrounding the city, from Sinhagad to Vetal Tekdi, are draped in a green

that simply does not exist at any other time of year. And the temperature, often a deterrent in the summer months, is perfectly cool for

sustained physical effort. For cyclists willing to brave the occasional drizzle and plan their routes carefully, monsoon mornings offer some of

the most rewarding riding of the entire year.
