Great place for morning walk/jog/run. This is around 8 kms circular route. You will feel that you are out of the city crowd. Birds chirping in the morning will refresh you. This is completely raw route and still hills are intact in the heart of Pune city. Its timings are 5 AM to 9 AM and evening around 4 PM to 7 PM. There are many small shops at the main gate.

Best place to be with nature in Pune City.

The temple is very nice ...The forest is very nice ... very large area ... very bushy and overall OKYou can spend full day here ... but entry is open from 5 AM to 10 AM and from 4 PM to 7 PMBut you will be bitten by mosquitoes hereThis is a part of Pune city that needs a lot of tidying upBecause if you do it better, it will help reduce the congestion of the rest of the pointsOr it can be said that this place is being neglected by the state government in terms of development.

Nice place, in pune there is no sounds of horns no cars only nature sound is here. This place have is full on trees peacock are every were , i like this place

Nice place for Morning and evening walks or even Jogging. There are many stalls outside that serve variety of breakfast and snacking options. In the evening, people also like to watch City Lights from here. There is also a newly built well maintained park nearby which is also quite good.

Its really awesome Area to enjoy with yours friends and for relaxing. We spend peaceful time in nature and get some fresh air. People are come here in the morning for exercise, yoga, and walking and some of them come here only for taking beautiful pictures, for photoshoot. All fitness enthusiasts love this place so much.

Scenic hillock offering stunning views from sunrise to sunset and a panoramic view of ever spreading city of Pune. A great experience. Diverse flora and fauna. Lovely forest trails to enjoy and be blessed by the Taljai Mata temple.

Its very good for trekking.You should prefer going by shortcuts and not by roads. Trekking through the roads is just useless and time consuming instead if you go climbing through the shortcuts you would save your time and you would burn more calories and fats.Its very refreshing to see the top view, all your tiredness goes away when you see such beautiful scenery.(see in photos)

Beautiful place. Excellent place for morning walks and jogging, quite good cricket ground with open air gym and well maintained toilets. Best place for photography and nature lovers. Horse riding, snacks shops, vegetable seller and natural juices available near temple. Ample parking space for 2 & 4 wheelers.

Nice spot for oxygen pump

Very peaceful destination. Get pure happiness when visit here. Great nature. Get pure oxygen.

Simply amazing place, full of greenery all around. Nature Lovers must visit this place. Its got a long road track to go up by two wheeler or four wheelers. At the entrance you also have options to have tea, some diet snack and many more.Inside there is a complete forest type place with roads aligned for walking. It is more than 8-10kms walk inside. Scenic view is the best!Though it is teenagers, youngsters or old age people, you will find all generations for a walk here.It is a very pleasant place and close to nature.There are also peacocks within the area.For senior citizen there are bamboo benches made for them to sit.Also there is yoga sessions held inside.Best place for a morning walk.

Beautiful place.. Near to city.. clean and green

Loved this place. Full of greenery, a meditation area, butterfly park, jogging track. If you are lucky enough can spot peacocks too. Can visit Taljai Devi temple. Covid norms- The park is open only till 10 am in the morning. Can have delicious breakfast outside the park at stalls with variety of dishes.

Taljai is a hill right at the heart of Pune city that has been designated as a wildlife reserve. The road to this hill passes through the Shivaji Maratha College campus with a picturesque mountain path, with sharp turns.Near the entrance of the forest is a temple to Taljai, a Hindu Goddess.Vehicles are prohibited in this area.The reserve attracts migratory birds and is home to Peacocks place is therefore popular with amateur bird watchers. and ornithologists. A recent study concluded that the lake at Taljai is dying due to dumping of plastic waste. The park is open for visitors from 5 to 10 in the mornings and from 4:30 to 7:00 in the evenings.

Best place for hangout with friends 🤩There is 5 km joging track😌

Lungs of Pune city.. the small forest grove and hill is just amazing. Most of the walk is well maintained and there are many small trails that can be explored. You can hear and observe many birds like peacocks, fork tails, sun birds...It opens early (5am - 9am) and is best visited in early hours.One can walk up to Parvati hill and back..

Feels like walking into the nature. You can literally see the whole Pune city when you are at the top. People who live nearby are blessed with such a beautiful garden.

At present, most beautiful place in Pune.. if you want to breath fresh air and relax, Taljai is the place..beautification of the place is done in such a way that visitors number has increased tremendously..though place was crowded on Holiday..vehicles must be banned on Taljaj tekdi

Nice place in pune for physical exercise full with natural beauty,

It is a lovely green hill where many people come for morning/ evening walk and enjoy the forest feel and fill their lungs with the fresh air and go home rejuvinated, but the PMC authorities have allowed too many hawkers to sell their wares near the gates. Now it is learnt that PMC wants to build a food plaza, jogging track parking lots and whatnot, by cutting down the trees.This will actually destroy the ecosystem here which is a habitat for peacocks and many various kinds of birds and animals.I sincerely hope and pray that the forest cover here is not destroyed, because man is not the only important animal to be considered for development of any region. He shares the planet with other beings which are equally important for its sustainance.

Best for morning walk.You can say Joggers lover point

Love for this place.I always find this place for my peace.

Very nice. Trail walking is good. Clean trails. Avoid going on holidays. Quite a crowd. Toilets inside the gate as you head out to the trails. Toilets unclean. There are food and chai stalls too. A great experience on the trails.

Excellent place for morning walk. Total trail on one side is 8 km. Crowded on weekends. Large number of stalls offering wide variety of dishes for breakfast after a good walk. More signboard indicating side trails with distance of trail would help. Proper Steps near waghjai temple would help senior citizens.

A really nice and slightly underrated place in the heart of the city. Amazing view, lots of snack stalls, and very convenient to reach. Its the go-to spot for a mini Trek / Hike / Outing.

Best place for walk, run and fitness activities. Area is marked with kilometer covered. This has to be maintained properly, considering the biodiversity and wildlife conservation.

Lovely trekking place with a temple on top and a small cricket stadium on the way to it. Curvy roads with good greenery in monsoon. A small tower is there which will also give a nice look at the city .

Nice place to chill...!!!Well maintained area. The jogging trail on the top is very good if you love raw jungle experience.Snakes and other small creatures are found as the place is quite raw.A lovely place for nature lovers in the vicinity of city. Mornings and Sunrises are lovely here. The tiktok culture outside on roads should be stopped. Love the place.loved the view.A calm place in the center of city.

All round best place for exercising chillouts Hangouts etc....I am a regular taljai visitor it releases stress when we roam around in the lush green environment.Sunrise from Taljai is the best thing anyone have seen till now. ❤If you havent, vist once. !!!

Best place to go for walk

Its a blessing Pune still has some of these nature lovers destinations. Great for a walk and enjoying the greenery at any time of the day. The vegetable market just outside is great for fresh produce.

Not managed properly. No animals except ducks. Just an open space to enjoy nature

Nice natural atmosphere, however, crowded in the weekend mornings. Nice sip of tea after walk. Makes the day.

Its really beautiful place. The hill has trekking and walking paths. You will get organic vegetables, native food products outside. Single place for kids and adults. All will enjoy!

Good facilities available good to parking left side street food available and back side of temple forest

Very nice good morning in taljai tekdi

The best place for nature lovers... It has a wonderful biodiversity with evergreen flora and fauna. The most common animals spotted there are peacocks , dogs , many other birds , etc. There are many flower trees as well as some other forest trees. It feels like you are travelling in the forest. Best to go in early mornings or evenings.

Taljai is a very peaceful place on a hilltop.They have an open air gym, cricket stadium and a jogging track.Its a good place to spend time with your family and friends.Until many other places they also allow you to get on the lawn.Getting to this place is an experience in it self as the road that leads to Taljai is amazing.Youll find many flowers and trees 🌲🌳🌴 here. Hence, the best place for a morning or an evening walk.Fresh air as theres less pollution or many trees.

Best place for relaxing with family and friends...I had enjoyed sweet corn here with nature view. nice stadium, nice road for walking. the crowd is also good, there is taljai mata temple, but it is closed due to pandemic.

Amazing place to visit. You can take your dog for a walk . Take darshan of goddess and enjoy the peachful nature view.

Very nice place to visit. But bit crowded

Everytime I go here, I have a soothing and refreshing experience.One of the stress relieving places.

Vetal Hill (Marathi: वेताळ टेकडी ) is a prominent hill in the city limits of Pune, India. The hill is the highest point within the city limits, with an elevation of 2600 ft. There is a temple of Vetala located on the top of the hill from which the hill derives its name. The Indian Forest Department maintains an observation deck near the temple. The hill is also known by its Marathi name, Vetal Tekdi.

Good place, clean but lacking proper amenities like washrooms, barricades.

So much development..visit after so long time...love it...

Save Taljai. its Punes precious gem.

Ideal for daily morning walk.

This place has been transformed in very quick time, great place to relax, exercise and Pray to god as it has couple of Temples. But this place get very crowded in weekends PMC need to look in to this as this may destroy beauty of place.

Calm and relaxing place to be at no city rush just peace within city 😀

Best place to get free oxygen and best playarea for kids... anyone can enjoy at any time

A very different place Evan Evan in Pune nice climate in the morning refreshing

Finest place for jogging and a walk for your pet as well. Do visit once.

First visit the temple then go for a walk around. It has a small pond with ducks in it.

One of the very few naturally maintained forest areas in pune sub urbs.Morning and evening walks/trekks are pleasant perennially.

Love to be there ...all the time ...it gives me peace

Taljai devi temple was very nice and clean. But actual taljai pathar has mud and slippery pathways due to rains. Inside there was a pond and a few ducks but approach road was bad.Other walking areas paved with bricks/cement were good.Parking was available on road.

Its a amazing place you can see the nature and feels free to walk . You can even see peacocks there which is the most amazing thing . We everyday go for walking there. Place like these should be protected.

Loved for Morning Walk, Beautiful Nature

8km+ circuit for walk. Great place. Stressfree & Peaceful.

It makes my day energetic...

Cool palce with trees along the road side, a small pond . Nice place to sit , exercise, and enjoy the nature.

Dont do so much developments. I like old taljai 15 years before. Some changes are good but it seems like modernization everywhere doesnt look good

Awesome weather........ fabulous surrounding...... pious diety......Mata Taljai devi......🙏🙏🙏
