Gurugram locations and permit reality
Aravalli Biodiversity Park at sunrise is gold; winter fog adds drama. 32nd Avenue and CyberHub look great but often need permissions; Golf Course Road rooftops need RWA nods. Studios in Udyog Vihar keep light controlled in peak summer. Many shooters travel from Delhi/Noida—budget a travel fee. mytribe helps sanity-check permits and coordinates timing so security guards don’t kill the mood mid-shot.
