How To Reach Sarai:

Getting to Sarai is really easy. It is located in the Civil Lines area in North Delhi, close to Delhi University. You have to cross the ridge from Delhi University to get to Rajpur Road, where Sarai is located. Any bus that takes you to ‘Exchange Stores/ I.P. College/ Mall Road’ will also take you places from where Rajpur Road is a short distance. If you take an auto rickshaw or taxi from South Delhi or any other part of the city, the best thing to say is ‘Near Transport Authority, Underhill Road, Civil Lines, I.P. College’; most auto and taxi drivers know the Civil Lines ‘Authority’ well. It is two minutes away from this landmark.


The quickest and easiest way to get to Sarai is to take the Delhi Metro, from Connaught Place (Rajiv Chowk) to Civil Lines, or to change at Kashmiri Gate and take the metro to Civil Lines. Get off at Civil Lines cross Shamnath Marg, get on to Underhill Road, walk (10 minutes) to the end of Underhill Road, where it meets Rajpur Road. Turn left, you will see Number 29, Rajpur Road soon (on your left). This is CSDS. Walk in, It is in the basement of the big white building behind the sunken lawn.
