Which station to use
HUDA City Centre is the usual choice because it is a terminus with taxi availability and sits on the right side of the city for the Sohna corridor. travelling from HUDA City Centre follows that trip in detail; travelling from IFFCO Chowk and the Rajiv Chowk Gurugram route are alternatives if your route crosses there.

Cost and timing trade-off
Metro plus cab is cheaper than a full taxi from Delhi and immune to Delhi-Gurugram congestion, but it adds a transfer and leaves you dependent on cab availability at both ends. Travel time varies with traffic on the road leg.
Making the return work
This is where metro trips go wrong. Fix the return before you leave the station area: keep the driver's number, agree a pickup time, or pay a waiting charge. opening hours guidance explains why you should be heading back in daylight.
Travelling from east or north Delhi
Expect a long metro leg. Pages like the Laxmi Nagar route and Pitampura to Damdama Lake set out realistic expectations.
