[wiki=bd23a12307299e54ca483bc190e50e83]Ballabgarh[/wiki] - a town nearby to the south.
Buses ply from the various bus stands to other parts of North India including Delhi, [wiki=33d760dd178036b714669c2766cadf1b]Chandigarh[/wiki], [wiki=2ac4b3cda74a65301ad1c6e520b4d8de]Mathura[/wiki], [wiki=8d1fdd7dcc6f2309cd15746f7e7b16d6]Agra[/wiki] and various other cities in Haryana.
If you intend to go to [wiki=d68112cb864cff78d8dbbfc9c5b08b84]Gurgaon[/wiki], do not opt for public transport.There are two options, both equally bad and time-consuming.
One option is to catch a long distance Haryana state transport bus coming from [wiki=5ef9d8502a9cb79b02ad3fffd2fec100]Ballabhgarh[/wiki] and going to [wiki=d68112cb864cff78d8dbbfc9c5b08b84]Gurgaon[/wiki] via [wiki=55d3a9f9d5cf0ce68b5a29a9d9e7a097]Faridabad[/wiki]. This bus takes an all Haryana route, by-passing Delhi, and crosses a hill terrain stretching for more than 25 kms. The frequency of buses on this route is one in every 30 minutes or so, but they are seldom on time. Also these buses do not come to the main Faridabad bus stand but take passengers from a nearby crossing. These buses are filled up to 5 times their capacity and the hill ride in such a crowded environment should be best avoided. En route, the buses also break down, off and on, in the middle of nowhere.
An alternative to buses on this route is to take a 'paid - lift' with the hundreds of cabs and private cars travelling on this route every hour. This hill route is not considered safe at night and should be best avoided. In spite of good police patrolling on this route, neither of the above two options can be recommended for tourists and infrequent travellers.
The other option is to take a public transport, come down to Badarpur (Delhi)Border, then to take a DTC bus to Gurgaon. These buses start from here, get equally crowded en route and easily take double the time for a shorter distance than the other route, but take you through parts of south Delhi, giving you a glimpse of the 'Qutab Minar', which is a renowned historical monument.
The best option for travel to Gurgaon, thus, is to hire an independent taxi/cab from some good tourist travel services provider.
