What to Do in Gurgaon When You Don't Want to Go to a Mall

Because “Let’s go to a mall” shouldn’t become an autofill for every weekend plan.

If your weekend in gurugram starts with “Let’s go to a mall” and revolves around “Which mall?” for the next 3 hours, we need to talk.Don’t get us wrong, Malls are convenient. They have AC, have tasty food, and are perfect for that friend who says “Let's just window shop” before walking out with three shopping bags. But after a while, it gets repetitive. You meet your friends, eat, walk around, sit at a café. And next weekend, the cycle repeats.
