Directions From Marathahalli to Yeswanthpur

This question has been asked of me more than once :)

 Marathahalli ->

Take Old Airport road ->

Take right at  HAL junction .

Continue Straight till you reach old madras road ->
Left at Old Madras Road -> 

Go straight till and around Ulsoor lake till you pass the MEG military quarters on the left , then continue until you see a biggish circle (actual traffic island circle ).

Take right here.It's - this will take you to Cantt Railway station - About 100 m _before_ cantt railway station you will see a masjid after an underpass on the LHS.

Take right here to Nandidurg Road which merges with Jayamahal Road in Front of Fun World/Palace grounds(about 2-3 km).

Continue straight past DD Kendra to Mekhri Circle.

Straight from Mekhri circle until you reach Yeswantpur circle.(you will pass IISc as you go along).At IIsc gate it is a Y-junction - 

Go Straight and DON't take sharp left which goes towards Malleswaram.

At YPR circle you can follow the road on the up to reach Platform 4,5,6 or take a right to enter yeswanthpur market and then go to the other entrance which leads to Pf 1,2,3.

There is some construction going on so you might need to go around a bit.At this time you will see yeswanthpur Police station on the left.

The downside of this is that you have to pass a crowded market.Otherwise go up the bridge(DON't take left to go to Rajajinagar), continue about 1.5 km further and take the first U-turn to reach the entrance to platform 4-5-6.

This is a more dignified-looking entrance.If you want to reach Pf 1-2-3 then it's a walk over a rather high overbridge.
