Living in Raipur, Chhattisgarh:
Tips for Moving and Visiting

Raipur is a great city, especially if you’re moving in from a small town or a metropolitan since it has an eclectic vibe of a chaotic city and a small, peaceful city at the same time. You have pretty much everything in residential areas, shopping, recreation, transportation, education, etc. It depends on your choice of lifestyle and how you would like to leverage the city’s resources. Also, Raipur is pretty well connected to other cities within Chhattisgarh and outside through transportation. I love the way AAI has built the Swami Vivekanand airport, with multiple flights to Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata everyday. AFAIK, airlines are planning to add (or have added already?) a few international destinations, and Singapore is the first of them. In terms of shopping, you can go to Ambuja Mall, Magnetto, and City Centre. Ambuja, especially, has all the major labels in clothing, and you can find high-end stuff there. If you have recently had a breakup and need some alone time, you can check out the Naya Raipur Central Park. I haven’t been there yet, but I have heard it’s good. Do check out Telibandha lake. There’s nothing special about the lake itself, but the road strip around it probably has the best street food in Chhattisgarh.

What Raipur lacks in natural beauties, it makes up for in infrastructural attractions. A home to mostly local businesses, it continues to grow its horizons to welcome new ventures and opportunities.

Raipur has a hot and humid climate most of the year. This city has a good number of people belonging to tribal regions. This is not a very crowded city. However, its population is on a steady rise due to increasing opportunities for small jobs and greater investment avenues towards small and large scale factories and settlement outlets. On an average, it is a peaceful place with abundant flora and fauna and rich biodiversity.

Raipur is the capital of my state and thus is one one of the most developed cities. with robust life, locations near all amenities and great people, proper service available everywhere, beautiful scenic garden made just for the public and different sources of entertainment, it is a good place to settle.

The one and the only reason to relocate to my city is that, it’s a very peaceful place. The people are very amicable and the city is famous for its heritage. The complete city is designed based on the concept of smart city. The education as well the medical facilities are very attractive.

One desirous of moving here Raipur must first of all find out everything about the climate here, because it is normally quite hot in Raipur. Secondly, one must be a lover of nature as there are many spots of natural beauty worth visiting in and around Raipur. It is a place with rich ethnic life of local Chhattisgarhi inhabitants who are simple and loving folk.

Raipur is probably one of the fastest developing cities in India. There’s extremely delicious food out here, there’s places for entertainments such as Marine Drive, snow world, malls, etc. Anybody who starts as a migrant, stays here as a resident. There are all kinds of markets found here from high-end to street stalls.
