Search go karting Vasant Kunj and the results split in two: an indoor kart ride inside one of the Nelson Mandela Marg malls, and a set of circuit listings that never say how far you have to drive. The distance is the whole decision. Vasant Kunj sits closer to Gurugram than most of Delhi, so the nearest outdoor circuit is 17.7 km and about 20 minutes away, and four of the six F9 circuits are inside a 40-minute drive.
This page gives the measured drive time from three Vasant Kunj starting points to every circuit, what a session costs at each, and the one comparison that decides the day: a mall ride against four kilometres of outdoor tarmac.
The short answer
- For most people from Vasant Kunj: Sector 17/18 on Link Road. 17.7 km, 20 minutes, and the cheapest weekday session in the network at ₹700 for 16 laps. The circuit is 450 m, so 16 laps is 7.2 km of track.
- For a weekend with four or more: Sector 68. 27.6 km, 29 minutes, and 30 minutes on a 1,050 m circuit for ₹2,200 a head. The longest lap in the network.
- For twelve or more: Sector 68 or Dwarka Expressway. They are the only circuits with 12-kart and 20-kart blocks, and both are about half an hour from here.
- Not GT Karnal Road or Baghpat. 74 and 75 minutes each way. There is no version of that trip from Vasant Kunj that beats a Gurgaon circuit.
Drive times from Vasant Kunj to every circuit
| Circuit | Length | From Vasant Kunj, Sector C | From Chhatarpur metro | Fuel, round trip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sector 17/18, Link Road | 450 m | 17.7 km · 20 min | 12.6 km · 17 min | ₹235 |
| Sector 68 | 1,050 m | 27.6 km · 29 min | 23.8 km · 29 min | ₹367 |
| Sector 59 | 850 m | 20.2 km · 30 min | 17.7 km · 25 min | ₹270 |
| Dwarka Expressway, Sector 88B | 900 m | 33.1 km · 31 min | 26.2 km · 31 min | ₹441 |
| GT Karnal Road, Bhigan | 950 m | 87.2 km · 74 min | 83.1 km · 69 min | ₹1,162 |
| Baghpat | 1,250 m | 76.3 km · 75 min | 72.2 km · 71 min | ₹1,017 |
The ordering has one wrinkle worth knowing. Sector 59 is the second-shortest distance at 20.2 km but the fourth-quickest time at 30 minutes, because that run leaves the highway at Iffco Chowk and continues through Gurugram city traffic. Sector 68 is 7.4 km further out and one minute faster. Once you leave the expressway, distance and time stop agreeing.
Go karting Vasant Kunj to Sector 17/18: the twenty-minute run
The route is simple. Abdul Gaffar Khan Marg out of the colony, over the Masoodpur flyover, and then 7.6 km of the Delhi–Gurugram Expressway before the Mehrauli–Gurgaon Road turn takes you onto Link Road. From Chhatarpur metro the same trip is 12.6 km and 17 minutes, because you are joining the highway further south with less city behind you.
The stretch that moves is the one between Mahipalpur and the Delhi border, where airport traffic meets the expressway. The 20 minutes above is a free-flow number; leaving Vasant Kunj between 6pm and 8pm on a Friday can double it. If your session is on a weekday evening, build in half an hour and you will arrive early rather than late.
Directions to the Link Road circuit follow the expressway to the Iffco Chowk exit, then the Link Road service lane.
Indoor karts in Vasant Kunj, and what they are not
The indoor option is real and it is close. Tumble House in Vasant Kunj runs electric karts inside a 10,000 sq ft play area, and karting there comes as part of a play pass rather than as a session you buy by the lap. The malls on Nelson Mandela Marg carry short arcade kart rides of a few minutes each. Neither is a scam and neither is the same product as a circuit.
A ride inside a building is fixed at a few minutes, on a compact layout, and often bundled with slides or arcade machines. A session on a circuit is 450 m to 1,050 m of outdoor tarmac, sold by laps on a weekday or by minutes at a weekend, with a briefing before you go out and everyone in your group on the same track at the same time. That is the difference between an activity that fills an afternoon and an activity the afternoon is built around.
Which one you want depends on who is coming:
- Stay local if the group is mostly children under ten, the plan is ninety minutes long, or the weather is the reason you are going out.
- Drive if the group is adults, if anyone wants to compare lap times, or if the point of the day is being on track for fifteen minutes or more rather than three.
- Drive if there are six or more of you and you want to be out there together instead of queuing in a mall queue.
What a session costs at the circuit you drive to
| Circuit | Weekday, by laps | Weekend, by minutes |
|---|---|---|
| Sector 17/18 (450 m) | 16 laps ₹700 · 22 ₹800 · 34 ₹1,100 | 11 min ₹800 · 18 ₹1,200 · 35 ₹2,100 |
| Sector 59 (850 m) | 10 ₹900 · 15 ₹1,100 | 15 ₹1,100 · 30 ₹2,100 |
| Sector 68 (1,050 m) | 10 ₹900 · 15 ₹1,100 | 12 ₹1,100 · 15 ₹1,200 · 30 ₹2,200 |
| Dwarka Expressway (900 m) | 10 ₹900 · 15 ₹1,100 | 12 ₹1,100 · 15 ₹1,200 · 30 ₹2,200 |
| GT Karnal Road (950 m) | 12 ₹900 · 18 ₹1,100 | 12 ₹900 · 18 ₹1,200 · 30 ₹2,000 |
| Baghpat (1,250 m) | Private hire only: ₹1,50,000 for a full day, ₹75,000 for five hours | |
450 m against 1,050 m, at the same price
The rate cards look far apart until you convert laps into distance. Sector 17/18’s longest weekday card is 34 laps at ₹1,100, which is 15.3 km of track. Sector 68’s top weekday card is 15 laps at ₹1,100, which is 15.75 km. Almost the same distance for the same money — the difference is nine extra minutes of driving each way, and the kind of lap you get.
On the weekend the gap widens. Thirty-five minutes at Sector 17/18 costs ₹2,100, which is ₹60 a minute. Thirty minutes at Sector 68 costs ₹2,200, which is ₹73 a minute. For two people on a Sunday, the short circuit gives you five more minutes on track and costs ₹100 less. The long circuit gives you a lap with room to overtake.
Four friends from Vasant Kunj, priced
Take the common case: four adults, one car, one weekday afternoon at Sector 17/18. Twenty-two laps each at ₹800 is ₹3,200. Fuel for the 35.4 km round trip is about ₹235. Total ₹3,435, or ₹859 a head for 9.9 km of track each.
The same four at a weekend: 18 minutes each at ₹1,200 is ₹4,800, plus ₹235 of fuel, so ₹5,035. Do the same weekday at Sector 68 instead and it is ₹4,400 for 15 laps each plus ₹367 of fuel, so ₹4,767 — ₹268 cheaper than the weekend at Link Road, for eighteen more minutes in the car across the day.
Six of you or more
Sector 17/18 is the only circuit near Vasant Kunj that sells a six-kart block: ₹6,600 for 18 minutes, ₹11,500 for 35, ₹15,000 for 50. That is ₹1,100, ₹1,917 and ₹2,500 a head, and all six of you are on track together instead of going out as individual tickets.
Above six, the maths moves to Sector 68 or Dwarka Expressway, where a 12-kart block is ₹21,000 and a 20-kart block is ₹32,000. Both are about half an hour from Vasant Kunj and both keep the whole party on the same track. Kart availability for your date is confirmed at booking, so send the headcount before you commit to a circuit.
Booking the drive
Every circuit’s rates, map and session format sit on the tracks page, and the 450 m layout has its own page at Sector 17/18. The two circuits that carry the group blocks are Sector 68 and Dwarka Expressway. For a birthday, start with the birthday party page; for anything above six karts, the contact page is how the rotation gets agreed before the day.

The short answer to go karting Vasant Kunj is Link Road at Sector 17/18: shortest drive, cheapest session, and the easiest circuit to learn on. Go to Sector 68 only when the longer lap or a group block is the point of the trip. Either way, you are twenty to thirty minutes from a real circuit, which is closer than most of Delhi gets.
