Situated on Observatory Hill. Huge Jacobethan style building but only 3 rooms are open to the public. The rest of the rooms are filled with books but are kept locked. They can be seen through glass doors. It was once used as a summer residence for Lord Dufferin (Viceroy of India). Mahathma Gandhi negotiated India's independence here and finally signed the documents in 1947. Now it is The Indian Institute of Advanced Studies. The garden is large and well maintained but may have been more beautiful once upon a time. You do not need to go with a guide as there is an English-speaking guide in the building. Take your time and read the loads of literature available in the rooms.

The Indian Institute of Advanced Studies located on the Observatory Hill is a majestic structure made with Victorian-style architecture. It has now been converted into an educational institution which offer post-doctoral courses.

This magnificent building was built in 1888 as the residence of the British Viceroy Lord Dufferin. It is located at the observatory Hills and is surrounded by well-maintained gardens and lawns, ringed by beautiful pine trees & rose plants. The Viceregal Lodge, also known as "Rashtrapati Niwas" is now converted into Indian Institute of Advanced Study and students come here for higher studies. The building has an English Renaissance style of architecture, where the color of limestone is grey. Since it is located at a good height, the views from this place are enthralling and cannot be described in words.
