City Guide:
Gurgaon is called the Millennium City.
It is a nickname earned for the radical change it has undergone at the close of the 20th century. An ugly duckling in the early years, Gurgaon made a brave plunge to the new-age city abundant with big city comforts.

A city with close links to New Delhi, Gurgaon long set in the shadow of the influential capital, but things have changed since then. Today Gurgaon is the heart of the National Capital Region and the stronghold of the largest outsourcing businesses. It's no surprise to Gurgaon that it's booming with a developing economy and money brought to the area. Over the last ten years the city has overtaken the achievements that New Delhi took centuries to reach.
While rich in business Gurgaon is short history. That means that the city is less culturally diverse than the world's older destinations, but no less appealing. Traveling along the office complexes through a cluster of exquisite shopping malls, cultural development left its mark over the city.
Attractions include;
- Damdama Lake offers abundance of recreational opportunities
- Leisure Valley Park, a playground loaded with fun and attractions to spend a day there
- Devi Art Foundation, the first not-for-profit space for showcasing contemporary art
- Wet and wild resort, an outing that offers a set of aquatic activities
- Sahara Mall with a perennially packed Big Bazaar supermarket
Originally, Gurgaon derived its name from Guru Dronacharya who inherited a sleepy village from his students. Gradually developing, the area earned the name of Guru-gram, but over the time has been cut short to Gurgaon.
Today Gurgaon is far cry from sleepy, but brims with big-city energy. You need to stroll the city to understand that skyscrapers own this place. If you are lucky you may try to find a building only 12 floors up, because the rest of the high-rises literally comb the sky above. In addition, Gurgaon took to the latest fashion of investing money into the tree-lined boulevards and spacious malls.
You need a trip to Gurgaon just to see the city is more laid-back than seems to be at first. Booked.net can organize your stay in Gurgaon easy if you complete a booking at our website.
