Getting Around Gurugram
Negotiate before you sit. ₹100 for a private auto is fair – they’ll start at ₹200. For shared auto (₹20 per head), walk to the main road near the station.
Ask the conductor to drop you at ‘Sikanderpur Mor’. The bus stops 50m from the hotel entrance – easier than the crowded metro station walk.
The hotel is 800m walk from DLF Phase 2 station – but the path is unlit after dark. Use the rickshaw waiting outside (₹30) instead. Buy a token; don’t bother with a smart card for one ride.
Book UberGO or Ola Micro from airport arrivals. Avoid prepaid taxi counters – they charge double. For early morning flights, pre-schedule a ride at midnight to lock in base fare.
