Gurgaon Halal Travel Guide

Not long ago a sleepy suburb of Delhi, Gurgaon now boasts over a million inhabitants, slick office complexes housing companies ranging from Accenture to Xerox, and more shopping malls per square mile than anywhere else in India.Alas and the infrastructure is still struggling to catch up with the boom and there's plenty of dust and traffic jams, but it's still an exhilarating glimpse into the India of the future.

How is the Climate in Gurgaon

Gurgaon has the typical north Indian climate, almost the same as that of Delhi: expect cold, foggy winters, drenching monsoons and scorching hot, dusty summers. Winter runs from early November till mid-February; usually January is the coldest month. In winters, temperatures may even drop to 2 °C. Fog on winter nights can last up to 7 hours. In March and April the temperature is pleasant. The summer starts in May and goes till July, with temperatures exceeding 40 °C at times. The heat is broken by the monsoon in mid-July, which pours rain until mid-September.

Travel to Gurgaon

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Gurgaon

Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport is just across the border of Gurgaon, a fact which no doubt adds to its popularity.

Travel by train to Gurgaon

The northeastern part of Gurgaon is served by the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro, which runs from NH-8's IFFCO Chowk crossing along MG Road over the border towards Qutub Minar, Saket and straight to Connaught Place. Travel duration is about 50 minutes, with tickets ₹25 one way.

Gurgaon also has a small railway station on the Delhi -Jaipur railway line, but it only receives about five trains a day. The station is near The colony bhim Garh Kheri Part 2.

Travel on a Bus in Gurgaon

DTC and Haryana Roadways buses runs down National Highway 8 in Delhi. Buses to Gurgaon can be best boarded at Dhaula Kuan (on the Inner Ring Road).Alternatively and there is a small dedicated Gurgaon-bound bus terminal at Karol Bagh near the unmissable 100-foot Hanuman statue, a five-minutes walk west of Jhandewala Metro station or a short cycle rickshaw ride (₹10) from Karol Bagh metro station. Buses cost ₹22 one-way.

Also Haryana Roadways, Mewat and Kamal (Private buses) runs from Sarai Kale Khan to Gurgaon Bus Stand whole day. Also there is frequent service of DTC buses between Gurgaon Bus Stand to Badarpur Border via Mehrauli and Khanpur.

By road

National Highway 8, now an eight-lane expressway, connects Delhi to Gurgaon and Jaipur. Travel duration is under 30 minutes in optimal conditions, but is regularly jammed during peak hours. The road is additionally still victim to water logging in heavy monsoon rains.

Get Around

GPS 28.47|77.03 {{Mapshapes|QQ71195 {{Mapshape Rapid Metro (Gurugram) | type=geoline|stroke=#0000ff|stroke-width=4|stroke-opacity=1

Public transport within Gurgaon is, in a word, terrible. One ray of hope is Rapid Metro Gurgaon, which connects Delhi Metro's Sikanderpur station with the "Cyber City" office neighborhood to the north, and Golf Course Road to the south. Trains run every 6 minutes or so and the fare is reasonable (usually below ₹35) and you can use Delhi Metro's smart cards.

Starting from the bus stop "IIT Gate" south of the IIT flyover of the Outer Ring Road in Delhi you can get all day and night (because of 24-hr service for call centres) jeeps and cars with yellow plates carrying you for ₹10 (Aug 2007) to places like the Bristol hotel or the IFFCO chowk. Sitting in these cabs at peak times means to use the normal back bench of a vehicle with 3 to 4 other people and without AC, but at off times you travel in the comfort of a taxi for only ₹10!

Other than that and the main option is cycle rickshaws, who are notoriously mercenary. The fare is supposed to be around ₹20 per head for a distance of 1.5-2 km, but it's not unheard of to be asked for 10 times this amount.

There are some intercity mini-buses which go from Gurgaon Bus Stand (near Police Lines) to Mall region and ahead on the MG (Mehrauli-Gurgaon) road. Cost is ₹20 per head. Ladies don't need to worry about traveling in these buses as most often than not and the conductor ensures that the lady gets a seat.

Taxis and rental cars are also available. The easiest way to book them is online at / Mapcabs.in GetMeCab.com CabGurgaon.com SuperCabz MeruCabs. Popular mobile app based aggregators like /en-IN/ Uber and / Ola are also plentiful and usually work out cheaper.
