Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
  • India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
  • India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
  • India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.

Gurugram (Gurgaon) is a satellite city of Delhi and the country's IT and mall hub, with more shopping malls per square mile than anywhere else in India. It sits just across the border from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, so it works as a business base or a stopover, not as a sightseeing destination. The infrastructure is patchy, traffic jams are routine and winter smog matches Delhi's.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

The Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro serves the northeast of the city (IFFCO Chowk, MG Road) and runs to Delhi in about 50 minutes. The Rapid Metro links Sikanderpur with Cyber City and Golf Course Road, with trains every few minutes. Cycle rickshaws and shared yellow-plate cars cover short hops; Uber and Ola are plentiful and usually cheaper than street taxis. Traffic on NH 48 is heavy at peak hours and floods in monsoon rain.

Watch out

Safety

Gurugram is generally safe for visitors by day, but women should avoid isolated stretches after dark and use app-based cabs rather than unmarked taxis. The real risks are traffic, heat, smog and overpriced rickshaws.
  • Cycle-rickshaw fares are negotiable and often quoted at many times the going rate: agree the price before you sit.
  • Summer heat exceeds 40 °C in May and June; winter nights can drop near 2 °C with fog lasting hours.
  • Winter smog matches Delhi's; check air quality before outdoor plans.
  • NH 48 water-logs in heavy monsoon rain, which can stall the Delhi–Gurugram drive.
