Gulab Nagar, Pune

one of the most outlying areas in Pune district, dhankawadi was originally a village that was inducted into the district of pune in 1997. and once the initial stakes were claimed on this area that sits beside the mumbai-bangalore highway, the area saw a mammoth boom in development in recent years.

gulab nagar makes up for a large chunk of this newly subsumed village. a true outlier, the area is calm and not remotely as populated as its more popular neighbor katraj, gulab nagar, makes for a serene living environment.

the area, in general, shares its geography with the esteemed bharati university on one flank and the beautiful katraj lake on the other. along the way, one also skims past the rajiv gandhi zoological park (locally known as the katraj zoo).
