Formerly nothing more than a bland and comparatively unknown suburb of the country's capital city, Gurgaon today is not only one of India's most urbanized cities, but it also boasts a skyline that can easily compete with Hong Kong and Singapore. Gurgaon is easily accessible from Delhi and Noida, and quickly becomes a popular holiday destination for holidaymakers. Gurgaon has everything you may need, from natural resources to a lively lifestyle and nightlife.
In fact, Gurgaon has quite a few attractions for nature lovers as opposed to what you might expect from a landlocked town. Host to a wide variety of exotic flora and fauna as well as bird species, Sultanpur National Park and Bird Sanctuary is a spot where you can sit back and relax in the midst of nature. Another popular tourist attraction is the Sohna Lake, named after a whole sand lake, supposedly containing golden particles (thus the name 'Sohna'). The Sohna Lake provides a picturesque view of the Aravalli mountains, and is a popular picnic spot for locals and tourists. The largest natural lake in the region, however, is Damdama Lake, which offers adventure activities such as kayaking, rock climbing, boating, and crossing the valley as well as being a place where you can relax and unwind. You may also relax at the lake and fish while watching the sunset behind the Aravallis, filling the sky with stunning red and orange hues.
