Osho Ashram and the Osho Teerth Park will guide you to the realm of zen. The Ashram was founded by Rajneesh Chandra Mohan Jain, popularly known as Osho, in Koregaon Park Road. Moreover, this iconic ashram rife with a complicated history still manages to maintain its spiritual tranquillity that made it so popular in Osho\u2019s heydays.<\/p>\n<p>It is the perfect place to go to if you seek some mental peace and quiet from the stress of city life. We believe that quarantine has managed to either bring inner peace or unravel our mental stability in these tough times. For those who wish to regain their mental strength and relax \u2013 the Osho Ashram in Pune awaits you. Not only is the Ashram in itself a blissful experience but the lovely sounds of nature such as gurgling water and chirping birds provide a holistic experience.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-_Stroll_The_Street_Art_At_Kasba_Peth\"><\/span><strong>2- Stroll The Street Art At Kasba Peth<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Street-Art-At-Kasba-Peth.jpg\" alt=\"Street Art At Kasba Peth\" width=\"800\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Street-Art-At-Kasba-Peth.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Street-Art-At-Kasba-Peth-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Street-Art-At-Kasba-Peth-768x502.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Art manifests itself in different forms and evolves in the strangest ways. It began as a mode of communication on caves and has evolved into a mode of artistic expression on the streets. Street Art is one of the most fast-evolving and fascinating forms of art amongst the youth. It serves as a testimony to the existence of public sentiment or expression. Not only does it have political undertones \u2013 but it can also be a way to beautify the structures or settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The Street at Kasba Peth is an attraction for art lovers and those with a penchant for expression. Furthermore, Kasba Peth is the oldest residential part in Pune adjacent to the historic Shaniwar Wada. The best part about it is that one has to explore the lanes and area around it to find the art. Finding the art almost seems like an exciting treasure hunt and it is simply worth it. Walking through the lanes and viewing the art is a lovely way to spend your leisure time. The murals are extremely striking and will not fail to impress you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-_Have_A_Picnic_In_Pimpalgaon_Joga_Dam\"><\/span><strong>3- Have A Picnic In Pimpalgaon Joga Dam<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pimpalgaon-Joga-Dam.jpg\" alt=\"Pimpalgaon Joga Dam\" width=\"800\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pimpalgaon-Joga-Dam.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pimpalgaon-Joga-Dam-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pimpalgaon-Joga-Dam-768x500.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A little picnic by the lake is a simple pleasure of life that is inaccessible to us right now. One can take advantage of this opportunity to find a good spot by a lake for a fun picnic with their family. One such location is the spot by Pimpalgaon Joga Dam. The dam is a 5km long structure across the mesmerizing water body of Pushpavati River. It spreads over the backwaters of this river and is surrounded by a landscape of brown hills and a lush green carpeted ground.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it a beautiful spot to settle down on a mat, grab a snack and chit chat away with good company. Moreover, the place is especially a paradise for bird watchers as they can see several species of birds such as alpine swift, whistling thrush, green pigeon, pitta, pied crested cuckoo and people-moorhen. You can also witness a colony of flamingos nestled at the backwaters of the dam. The artificial lake provides a closer link to nature for the people. The dam is around a 3-hour drive from Pune.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-_Street_Shopping_Through_MG_Road_Lanes\"><\/span><strong>4- Street Shopping Through MG Road Lanes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1694\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1694\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MG-Road-Lanes-Pune.jpg\" alt=\"MG Road Lanes, Pune\" width=\"800\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MG-Road-Lanes-Pune.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MG-Road-Lanes-Pune-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveltourguru.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MG-Road-Lanes-Pune-768x482.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgstaticcontent.lbb.in\/lbbnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/06122930\/06072018_laxmi_road_01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Street shopping does seem to be a better alternative to online shopping now that we all wish to go out.
