Sightseeing

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.
