Gurgaon is a working hub located just across the Delhi/ Haryana state border. It's not technically a suburb since it provides more office than domestic buildings; however it is in striking distance of Delhi, so people can live/ work in either place comfortably.

Gurgaon gives the impression of a new place that is still a work in progress. Each modern building is flanked with building sites. Half of the modern, sleek, glass & metal office blocks are clearly affiliated with the DFL construction firm - I think they must own the place! Apart from the buildings, the landscape is flat, sparce and brown. Temperature wise, I was here in April and it felt like being in a microwave.

Quick Tips/Suggestions:

Definitely plan to drink more than 2 litres a day.

If here for work, ensure all hotel/ transport issues are arranged for you in advance.

There are plenty of shopping malls in Gurgaon; other than that, you'll have to return to Delhi for cultural experiences and night life.

Transport:

There are NO auto ricks in Gurgaon. NONE. There is the occasional bicycle rickshaw, but none looked really trustworthy. It is best to have the office or hotel to arrange your transport, which our hotel did perfectly and spaciously.
