Gurgaon railway station
It is the closest functional railhead in the district and served by passenger and express services on the Delhi–Rewari route. Service frequency is modest compared to the metro, so check timings rather than assuming a train will be waiting.
From the station you need a taxi or auto for the remaining distance. Arrange it at the station rather than hoping to find one on the corridor.
Delhi terminals
Travellers on long-distance trains generally arrive at New Delhi, Old Delhi or Hazrat Nizamuddin and drive out. Those journeys are covered in the New Delhi Railway Station route, travelling from Old Delhi Railway Station and the Nizamuddin Station route.
Rail versus metro
For most visitors the metro is more convenient than suburban rail because of frequency, then a cab from a southern Gurugram station — see the metro access page and the HUDA City Centre route.
Planning the last mile
Keep the return in mind: cabs are scarce at the lake in the evening. Fix a return pickup or keep your driver waiting. opening hours guidance explains why you should not be leaving late.
