Ask any Punekar and they will tell you that how living in the city sometimes drives them crazy. Now, I hold no grudge against the metropolis. It's beautiful, super convenient and currently flourishing with places to let our hair down every once in a while. But even a party-animal knows how maddening it gets to be stuck in a rut. The same day is repeated over and over again when finally you feel like giving up. The exact thing could happen in a relationship. 

 

So be it your boring 9 to 5 life or a year-long relationship, the need to rekindle the magic is a job that should be taken care of every now and then. And guess what? One doesn't even have to travel great distances or empty their bank accounts. These things can happen right in your city. So, sit back, relax and enjoy these 10 best staycation places in Pune.
