ARAI Review

Great Place, it been kept NATURAL, much like The Grand City of PUNE because of The Wonderful People of Pune.
Traditional, Scientific, Welcoming, MOD & Contemporary at the same time!

The ARAI Campus is miles & miles of undulating roads within a Natural, hilly setting with the wonderful Flora intact.

Apart from Automotive Engineering it's Social Impact on the Lives of Citizens is not lost on The Administration & The People!

A perfect place for The Annual ARAI Marathon, FRESH as it gets, with Veterans for Guides & Mentors.

Great Joy!!

Beautiful scenic place amidst the center of city surrounded by SB Road, Pashan, Kothrud.

ARAI approves the Vehicles and prefers safety for the public while approving the vehicles... It's an government organisation, perfectly managed.. Good work!

A haven for morning walkers. It is a forested place with Peacocks and a variety of flora and fauna. There is a lake formed at an erstwhile stone quary. Not a very safe place for couples in the middle of the day and there are few people, mostly boys from nearby slums. Has 2 big parking areas. Adjoining is the institute which certifies all vehicles. There is water near the gate as well to drink.

Very good, calm and green. Good place for a morning walk and a light trek up the hill
About ARAI.... automobiles can be launched only after they show green signal

Great place to hangout or workout early in the morning or after 530pm. Has many running trails and a small calisthenics gym. Lovely place for a walk with impressive views of the city. Can get too crowded on the weekends but still you can find a spot to relax and chill in peace.

It's a hill top excellent for evening or morning exercise strolls. It is a good bird sanctuary in pune

It links pashan and Kothrud and is wide spread. Many people go for morning walks and evening walks. Peaceful environment.

This is very nice company and there nature and people

There is an abandoned tower nearby the temple on the top! Perfect view from there!

Great place to learn, attended a workshop. It is primarily a automotive testing center.

Very good facilities for different types of testing

A place to relax amidst the Kothrud, Pune's hefty crowd.

Strategically located, One of the best Testing, Certification & Research Institute of Automotive industry. Also, Nice & maintained Location for nature-lovers

Best place to visit among the chaos of the city.. Panchavati quarry is the best place where you can watch the sunset on the hill

Vetal hills is nice place to go in morning and evening. You can do jogging,walking and just relax there.

India's number one automobile engineering research and development center. Also the first and the well known automotive testing and certification centre under the ministry of heavy industries. Well organised parking space. Institute on hill top amid nature. Fully secured campus.

Always good to spend some time with nature and when its near kothrud call it icing on the cake.... Good for morning or evening walks... Must visit once

Needs to provide some shelter from sunlight for drivers of passenger carrying vehicles!
They have to face extreme heat while waiting for their riders!!

Nice place to have a morning or evening walk ...not a crowdy place and u can enjoy nature as well

Obviously you need permission to get in, no camera zone. Vehicle testing done here for legislation certification, so also all the imported vehicles can be seen here. If you are guest here, then come early as it takes time to make the gate pass to get in. Please ignore the staff and their manners and behavior, yes even though it's national level workplace.

And in front of this, there place called Vetal Tekdi, yes this nice hangout place, also many joggers come here. Hope the emission from ARAI, does not effect this.

Clean and fresh area for morning walk..for all age group

One of the best places in Pune for a morning / evening walk. ARAI security controls the entry timing on road access. But being a hill, there are several access points. There have been sporadic incidences of minor robberies... So best to go with company. Avoid remote corners.
Recommended timings 0630 - 0830 hrs, 1630-1900 hrs.

It is an automobile research center, for common people entry is not allowed.
but around ARAI there is a good place for hang out.

The area surrounding this institute is very good for early morning or evening walks. It's full if trees and there's also a quarry.

World class Automotive testing facilities are here.

Business visit...got it.learn very interesting things and facts..

Amazing place for a walk... and exercise. Greenery and silence...

Great place to work, superb working environment. Lot of things to learn here.

Only one of its kind, an automotive testing center in India. Situated on a hill top overlooking the Pune city. Its serene location in the middle of the city.

Just Best Place to do exercise and do a walk in the mother nature's beautiful world.

"Nice place near pune .cover with greenary its perfect place for morning walk .its natural beauty !!!
So many dont know about this place its open early in the morning.very large forest lake also their

Good place to hangout in kothrud. I have visited the place in the evening. Visit this place if you have your personal vehicle.

Auto wala will charge 30rs extra to reach ARAI and in return you might won't get any auto. Better you go there with your personal vehicle.

The place is good sunset point. Sunset view is really good there. There is a park with open gym. It's forest region. Really good place to capture some beautiful pictures. The place is very crowded on weekends.
