Get there and around
By plane
Delhi's Indira Gandhi International is just across the border of Gurgaon, a fact which no doubt adds to its popularity. Check the weather to plan your travel.
By train
Gurgaon has a small rail station on the Delhi-Jaipur railway line, but it only receives about five trains a day.
An extension of the Delhi Metro may reach Gurgaon as early as 2010.
By road
National Highway 8 connects Delhi to Gurgaon and Jaipur. With the recent opening of 8 lane expressway, travel time from Delhi to Gurgaon has been cut down to less than 30 minutes. However, be aware that office hour peak times may still cause you a lot of heartache and delay on the road. The 8 lane expressway is now complete but is regularly jammed anyway. It's best to avoid exiting Gurgaon (to Delhi) between 6pm and 9pm. The road is additionally still victim to water logging in heavy monsoon rains.
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 24h service for call centres) jeeps and cars with yellow plates carrying you for Rs. 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 without paying more than Rs. 10!
Get around
Public transport within Gurgaon is, in a word, terrible. However there are some intracity mini-buses which go from Gurgaon Bus Stand (near Police Lines) to Mall region and ahead on the MG (Mehrauli-Gurgaon) road. Cost is Rs.6 per head. Ladies don't need to worry about travelling in these buses as most often than not, the conductor ensures that the lady gets a seat.
Cycle Rickshaws are not bad actually - they demand Rs.10 per head for a distance of 1.5-2kms. So it helps when you can't walk but would like to still get there.
