About IIT Madras:
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) is a research institution located in Chennai. It is founded in 1959 with technical and financial assistance from the government of former West Germany. IIT Madras is a residential institute that occupies a 2.5 km² campus that was formerly part of the adjoining Guindy National Park [1].
The institute has nearly 550 faculties, 8,000 students and 1,250 administrative and supporting staff. Much of the campus is a protected forest, carved out of the Guindy National Park, home to chital (spotted deer), black buck, and other wildlife. A natural lake, deepened in 1988 and 2003, drains most of its rainwater [1].
IIT Madras offers undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees across 15 disciplines in Engineering, Sciences, Humanities and Management. About 360 faculty belonging to science and engineering departments and centres of the Institute are engaged in teaching, research and industrial consultancy. The institute has 16 academic departments and advanced research centres across disciplines of engineering and pure sciences, with nearly 100 laboratories [1].

Entrance:
The main entrance of IIT Madras is on Chennai's Sardar Patel Road. Other entrances are located in Velachery (near Anna Garden MTC bus stop, Velachery Main Road), Gandhi Road (known as Krishna Hostel gate or Toll Gate) and Taramani gate (close to Ascendas Tech Park). Buses and electric mini buses ply between the Main gate and Velarachery Gate. Buses will stop at Gajendra Circle (at the elephants) where this multi starts.
About the Cache:
The start of this multi is close to the Gajendra Circle, which has easy access from the main gate and the Velarachery Gate by free local IIT transport. The multi itself is a short walk over the campus (about 3km). Biking is not possible since a small part of the route is not allowed for bikes. The questions you'll have to answer are not difficult. Just enjoy your walk.
