<mapframe latitude="18.548138" longitude="73.90254" zoom="14" width="282" height="136" align="right" />Geographically, Kalyani Nagar is bounded on the south by the [[Mula-Mutha River]], which divides the city of Pune into two. Across the riverbank to the south is [[Koregaon Park]], an upscale neighbourhood known for the [[Osho International|Osho International Meditation Resort]].

Kalyani Nagar is situated 5 kilometres from [[Pune Junction railway station]] and 4 kilometres from [[Pune Airport]]. Limited mass public transportation is available within the neighbourhood. Instead, [[Auto rickshaw|auto-rickshaws]] and ride-share services are used as a means of public transport.

The [[Pune Metro]] is planned to pass through the locality, and a metro station may be constructed on East Avenue. However, construction through the neighbourhood is controversial, due to its planned displacement of trees and wildlife of the [[Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary]], alleged failure to follow due process, and the possibility of added traffic congestion. In November 2018, citizens protested construction of the [[Pune Metro]] through Kalyani Nagar.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/residents-oppose-plan-to-take-metro-through-kalyaninagar/articleshow/66493098.cms|title=Residents oppose plan to take Metro through Kalyaninagar|date=2018-11-04|website=The Times of India|access-date=2019-02-05}}</ref>
