Location
RIESI is in the South Western outskirts of the City. The hotels that we have listed are the ones closest to the campus. If you want to book the hotels independently, you could look at the following areas: Vijayanagar, Nagarbhavi, Raja Rajeshwari Nagar, Banashankari III Stage, Mysore Road – travel from these areas to the campus will take 25 to 30 minutes.
Traffic can be quite heavy in the city, so staying closer to the center of town could mean a lengthy journey to the venue, particularly in the morning. Sessions are likely to start at 8.30am.
