How to Reach Pune
Pune is well connected by air, rail, and road to other major cities in India. The airport is located in Lohegaon. When arriving by train or bus, you can alight at either Pune Junction (main railway station and bus stand) or Shivajinagar station/bus stand. Another option, particularly for international visitors, is to travel to Mumbai and then take a taxi, bus, or train to Pune.
How to reach IISER Pune
IISER Pune is located between Pashan and Baner areas in the north-western part of Pune city. It is about three kilometers from Pune University Circle. If you take Baner Road from Pune University Circle, you will reach the Baner Gate of IISER Pune on your left after about 3 km (between ITI Road junction and Someshwar Wadi junction). On the Pashan side, the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) is a landmark close to IISER. Going from Pune University towards Pashan, the Pashan Gate of IISER Pune is located about 200 meters from the NCL gate, on the same side of the road.
Pune Municipal Transport buses halt at Baner Road opposite Baner Gate, and the Panchavati bus stop opposite the Pashan gate. We advise that if you are coming by autorickshaw or taxi, please get the vehicle inside the campus as it can be a fairly long walk from the gate with luggage.
Note: Autorickshaws charge a higher rate at night.
If your destination at IISER Pune is the Lecture Hall Complex (which also houses Sir C. V. Raman Auditorium) or the Main Academic Building, we recommend you enter the campus via Baner Gate.
