3 Days in Gurgaon for Thrills and Fun
Gurgaon might be known for its corporate offices, but it’s got a wild side too. Over three days, you can zip through adventure parks, get your adrenaline pumping with off-road drives, and even try your hand at archery. I’ve spent weekends here chasing thrills, and this itinerary packs in the best of Gurgaon’s adventurous spirit without feeling rushed.

Day 3
Day 3 in Gurgaon
A mix of hidden gems and local flavors, wrapping up your Gurgaon trip with unique experiences and delicious food.
Activities
Morning at Aravalli Biodiversity Park
Start your day with a peaceful walk in this lesser-known green oasis. Unlike the usual parks, this one focuses on native plants and wildlife. The trails are quiet, and you might spot peacocks or hear rare birds. It's a great escape from the city buzz without leaving Gurgaon.
- Carry water and wear comfy shoes – some trails are uneven
- Look for the interpretive signs to learn about native species
Local Shopping at Sadar Bazaar
Skip the malls and head to Gurgaon's oldest market for authentic local shopping. Think colorful fabrics, traditional jutis (footwear), and quirky home decor. Bargaining is expected here. The lanes are narrow but full of character – you'll find things here that no mall carries.
- Try the fresh sugarcane juice from street vendors
- Look for the tiny shops selling handmade paper products
Lunch at Dhaba Estd 1986 Delhi
End your trip with proper North Indian comfort food at this popular spot. It's designed like a highway dhaba but with AC comfort. Their dal makhani simmers for hours, and the tandoori rotis are perfection. Don't miss the lassi – served in traditional kulhads.
- Order the 'Dhaba Chicken' – their signature dish
- Ask for their seasonal special – often not on the menu
