Directions to IISc

From Airport:

Ask a taxi to take you to the Tata Institute (which is what IISc is locally known as). This should suffice in most cases.

If you're unlucky and the taxi driver does not know where the Tata Institute is, then give him the following directions: from Mekhri Circle, take the road (called CV Raman Road) towards Yeshwanthpur. Keep straight at the first traffic signal (at Sadashiva Nagar Traffic Police Station). About 500m beyond this signal, you'll see the gates of IISc on the right-hand side.

Accommodations are arranged at IISc Main Guest House, Centenary Visitor's House, Jawahar Visitor's House, Hoysala House, and Akshara Lodge. Barring Akshara Lodge, you can ask for directions to any accommodation spot from the IISc gate. Akshara Lodge can be reached without entering IISc. You can refer this link for the contact of Akshara Lodge.

It is recommended that you take one of the metered taxis (Ola/Meru/KSTDC/EasyCabs/MegaCabs) that are queued up outside on your left as you exit the airport terminal building. A metered taxi from the airport to IISc should cost you approximately Rs. 700 (plus possibly a 10% extra charge at night). Payment must be in cash, so make sure that you have sufficient cash (Indian Rupees) in hand when you leave the airport. Also, please be aware that you will be asked to pay a toll of Rs. 115 as you enter the highway leading to the city.

There are public buses plying between the airport and Bangalore city. You can take bus # KIA-10 from the airport bus stand (to your right as you exit the airport terminal), get down at Mekhri circle, and then catch an auto from there. The institute gate will be about 2 km from Mekhri circle.

From Railway Stations/ Bus Terminals:

IISc is quite near, and asking any taxi/auto driver to take you to Tata Institute should suffice. Try to take pre-paid taxis/ autos.
