Pune Okayama Friendship Garden

The Pune Okayama Friendship Garden is a beautifully landscaped Japanese garden inspired by the Okayama Korakuen, known for its tranquil pond, winding paths, and lush greenery. Opened in 2008, it celebrates the cultural ties between Pune and Okayama, displaying various elements of Japanese aesthetics, including stone lanterns and carefully pruned trees. Visit in the early morning or late afternoon for a serene experience, as the garden can get crowded during the day. Adjacent to the garden is the Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park, making it easy to combine both nature experiences in one outing. The gentle rustle of leaves provides a calming backdrop to your stroll.
