ISI is close to two wellknown landmarks: Qutab Hotel (ISI is about 300 meters away from the Qutab Hotel) or Katwaria Sarai (which is the locality where ISI belongs and the Katwaria Sarai bus stop is directly opposite to the institute). While booking an auto or a taxi to the institute, mention these two names in case the person concerned is unaware of ISI. Also, to disambiguate with a couple of other organizations having the same acronym, it is always advised to expand out the name of the institute. For the exact location find ISI on Google map here. ISI Delhi is also connected by Metro Line. The closest station is “HAUZ KHAS” (about 2.5 KM from ISI Delhi. The usual fare in an auto-rickshaw (‘tuk-tuk’) is Rs 40-50). Here is a map of Delhi Metro: Delhi Metro Map – Hauz Khas station is on the Yellow Line of this map. The official Delhi Metro site is here: Delhi Metro.
