Travel guide

Get around

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 car 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, 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.

Buy

thumb|240px|MGF Metropolitan Shopping malls abound in Gurugram, mostly along the central thoroughfare of Mehrauli-Gurugram (MG) Road. The best way to get there is via private mini-buses from Gurugram Bus-stand near Jain Temple and say "Mall". A one-way ticket costs ₹5.

Drink

Most of Gurugram's nightlife spots are tucked away — where else? — on the top floors of malls.

Sleep

Demand far outstrips supply in Gurugram and prices are terribly inflated; it's hard to find any halfway decent bed for the night for under ₹14,000. If comparing prices in Gurugram and Delhi, remember that Delhi hotels charge tax on the rack rate, while Haryana (Gurugram) hotels don't.
