Where to stay in Bibwewadi
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Bibwewadi draws its visitors to two campus gates. Rooms concentrate north in central Pune, and the Pune-Satara Road runs down from there through Parvati in a short stretch. Two arrivals dominate: parents visiting Vishwakarma Institute of Technology at Upper Indiranagar, and guests of Union Biblical Seminary, whose compound occupies Ramya Nagari Society a short way north of the college.
Katraj lies further south. Stay central for the choice of rooms, and stay in Bibwewadi if a lecture hall is the reason you came.
