Zero mile stone is good place for educational visit. The place from where the distance of Pune city is measured from other destinations. History is mentioned. Need to give more scientific description about the measurement process. Parking is difficult since it is in busy area.

The immense work done by the surveyors needed some appreciation & almost none of us knew about the great work done by these people. So in a way, this project not only appreciates their work but also reminds people of their contribution to the society.So overall, the aura of that place amidst the huge banyan trees, which was enhancing the character of that space!Must visit place when in Pune!

This should be a must visit spot in Pune city. This is the place from where the distance between Pune and other cities are measured. Lot of information is there about land surveyors. Very well restoration work done by PMC. If you need parking space, go around the GPO and you will find some.

The place where you are zero kms away from Pune or in other words where you are exactly standing on Pune.Britishers placed around sixty such zero stones around India. It was a sixty year long work rightly called as the Great Indian Trigonometrical Survey. In this work British team along with Indian team actually walked much of India from east to west coast & from Southern point to Himalayas. They measured the size & height of much of Indias topography, battled the inhuman weather, faced many ailments but completed the work.In Pune, you will find General Post office of Pune exactly behind the zero stone. You will also find the images of people who led the work and information stones on erected to display their contribution to this great work.Not just kids but even adults should visit the place to know the positive side of British Raj.

Really awesome place, related to trigonometric survey of India.Zero Stone in Pune city is perhaps the smallest monument of historic significance. The installation can be spotted on the footpath positioned close to the boundary wall of the General Post Office (GPO).

The point that marks the exact geographical location of the city. The Zero Stone in the city has names of places such as Poona, Paud, Sinhagad, Alandi, Purandhar, Nashik, Ahmadnagar, Sholapur and even Bangalore engraved on them.

Zero Mile Stone has it own little history. You can check it out in the images below. Few years back it was not in a good condition but now the officials have renovated the place and opened for public view to get to know about its history.Must Visit when in Pune!

What is the height above sea level of the peak of Mount Everest? To establish its height, one would have to know the elevation above sea level of a reference point. And to have a reference point close to the Himalayas, one would have to have a network of points all the way to the sea coast. Zero stone is a beautiful display reminding us of a super human effort of mapping the entire Indian subcontinent on foot in the 1800s by the Survey of India then headed by English diplomats. But many Indians were part of the project and made many significant contributions. Zero mile was the precise location of Pune in the Great Trigonometric Survey. And many such zero miles were established across the subcontinent from Kanyakumari to the Himalayas.If you happen to walk past Head Post Office, stop at the memorial to read some trivia related to the Trigonometric Survey.

One of 80 milestones placed in India by the British from which to measure the distance to and from one city to another. This is the kind of place that would be fun to take a child and talk about how distance is measured betweeen cities. Since its right near a post office, as well as in a popular part of town, a visit here could be easily coupled with another errand.

Zero Stone, one of the jewels of Pune.Dedicating the restored and beautified ‘Zero Mile Stone’ to the city, Pune.Located outside the General Post Office (GPO) near Sadhu Vaswani Chowk, the entire footpath on which the stone, marking Pune’s ‘0 km’, is located, has been renovated and beautified.Zero Stone marks the exact geographic location of the city, and is one of 80 such stones installed by the British to mark the zero points for survey of the country. From this stone distances were measured to other Zero Stones in neighbouring cities and locations, most of which seem to have been located near the main post offices which were considered a central place. Pune’s Zero Stone is inscribed with the following locations; Pune, Bangalore, Solapur, Ahmednagar, Nashik, Purandhar, Alandi, Sinhgad and Paud.
