I have recently moved to Gurgaon, and would want to explore some nice sight seeing places around.
I have explored the nice number of malls around. But, I would be more interested in scenic beauty. However, I haven't come across any(atleast around where I stay now, which is Sushant Lok and near my office which is in Cyber City).
So, are there any nice scenic places around which I can explore?
PS: By scenic places, I mean nature and landscape.
Gurgaon has a lot to offer to its visitors. You can check out the following places:
Damdama Lake:
Damdamaa reservoir in Sohna, Gurgaon district in the Indian state of Haryana. It is one of the biggest lakes in Haryana and with an area of 3,000 acres (12.14 km2). Damdama Lake was formed when a stone and earthen dam constructed by the British was commissioned for rain water harvesting in 1947. (Wikipedia)
Sultanpur National Park:
Sultanpur National Park (Hindi: सुल्तानपुर राष्ट्रीय वन्यजीव अभयारण्य) (formerly Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary) is located at Sultanpur fifteen kilometres from Gurgaon, Haryana and 50 km from Delhi in India.
Sohna:
Sohna is a town and a municipal committee in the Gurgaon district of Haryana, India. The City of Sohna is a popular tourist location, especially as a weekend and conference retreat. It is located 24 km from the city on the highway from Gurgaon to Alwar, near a vertical rock. It is famous for its hot springs and ancient Shiva temple.
Nuh:
The place is the district head quarters of the Mewat district. The place has few historical monuments, like shaking minarets; they are the only vibrating minarets in India. Only due to lack of maintenance it didn't attract many of the tourists. It requires great attention from the government. (Source)
Sultanpur National Park is 15km west of Gurgaon and is great for bird watching in the winter because of the large number of migratory birds which come here.
Asola Bhatti Wild Life Sanctuary is 20km east of Gurgaon. It is very large and offers a wide variety of wildlife, captured monkeys from Delhi, nature trails, former mines being reclaimed, and a Conservation Education Centre. (Directions)
