Gurgaon has the typical climate you'd expect in the northern plains of India and it is almost the same as that of Delhi. Winters are very cold and foggy. Early summers are hot and rainy while late summers are dusty and scorchingly hot. Due to the massive amount of construction in the city, it is incredibly dusty, year round.
Delhi's Indira Gandhi International is just across the border of Gurgaon, a fact which no doubt adds to its popularity. Check the weather to plan your travel.
The northeastern part of Gurgaon is served by the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro, which runs from NH-8's IFFCO Chowk crossing along MG Road over the border towards Qutub Minar, Saket and straight to Connaught Place. Travel time is about 50 minutes, with tickets Rs. 25 one way.
Gurgaon also has a small rail station on the [wiki=9baaebe1759ba1a6365a2b0539081516]Delhi[/wiki]-[wiki=e4b769db2a42d92d7311b02c3545d07d]Jaipur[/wiki] railway line, but it only receives about five trains a day. The Station is near The colony bhim Garh Kheri Part 2
DTC and Haryana Roadways buses runs down National Highway 8 in Delhi. Buses to Gurgaon can be best boarded at Dhaula Kuan (on the Inner Ring Road). Alternatively, there is a small dedicated Gurgaon-bound bus terminal at Karol Bagh near the unmissable 100-foot Hanuman statue, a five-minute walk west of Jhandewala Metro station or a short cycle rickshaw ride (Rs.10) from Karol Bagh metro station. Buses cost Rs. 22 one-way.
Also Haryana Roadways, Mewat and Kamal (Private buses) runs from Sarai Kale Khan to Gurgaon Bus Stand whole day. Also there is frequent service of DTC buses between Gurgaon Bus Stand to Badarpur Border via Mehrauli and Khanpur.
National Highway 8, now an eight-lane expressway, connects Delhi to Gurgaon and [wiki=e4b769db2a42d92d7311b02c3545d07d]Jaipur[/wiki]. Travel time is under 30 minutes in optimal conditions, but is regularly jammed during peak hours. The road is additionally still victim to water logging in heavy monsoon rains.
Starting from the bus stop "IIT Gate" south of the IIT flyover of the Outer Ring Road in Delhi you can get all day and night (because of 24h service for call centres) jeeps and cars with yellow plates carrying you for Rs. 10 (Aug 2007) to places like the Bristol hotel or the IFFCO chowk. Sitting in these cabs at peak times means to use the normal back bench of a car with 3 to 4 other people and without AC, but at off times you travel in the comfort of a taxi without paying more than Rs. 10!
