South through the Haryana towns
From Kurukshetra, NH 44 runs south through Karnal, Gharaunda, Panipat, Samalkha and Sonipat to the Delhi border at Kundli. It's a wide highway, but trucks, buses and cars crowd it all day, and traffic slows near each town. The last stretch inside Delhi often takes longer than the highway itself.
Leaving Kurukshetra
Campus housing at the university and NIT needs a vacating notice and an inspection, and Thanesar's old city may need a short carry to the truck. Avoid Gita Jayanti and eclipse fair days, when roads near the sarovars are crowded or closed.
Delhi's entry rules
Delhi restricts when goods vehicles may enter and which roads they may use, and the rules change from time to time. A truck that reaches the border at the wrong hour may have to wait. Ask your mover when they plan to cross and how they'll reach your address.
Where in Delhi NCR
North and north-west Delhi, around Narela, Rohini, Pitampura and Model Town, is closest. South Delhi, Dwarka and the satellite cities of Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad are much further, and the truck may use an expressway around the city. Give the exact address, building and a landmark.
Builder floors and societies
Delhi's builder floors often have tight staircases and no lift, so large furniture may need dismantling. Apartment societies in the satellite cities usually want the move registered, a gate pass and a booked lift. Our guide to moving in Delhi NCR explains what to expect.
Why people make this move
Jobs, colleges, hospitals and family draw many Kurukshetra households to Delhi NCR, and faculty and students move between the university towns. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Weather on the road
Dense fog in December and January can slow NH 44 for hours, and in late autumn, smoke and haze add to it. April to June is very hot. February to March and early October usually suit this route best.
Festivals
Diwali, Holi, Karva Chauth and the wedding season crowd the highway and Delhi's markets. Choose a date clear of the busiest days.
Students
A student moving to a Delhi college or paying-guest room usually needs only a few-items move. Confirm the check-in date first.
Packing
Ask for sofas and mattresses in covers, crockery in dish packs and electronics in their own cartons. Keep documents and jewellery with you.
Two-wheelers
A scooter or motorcycle can usually travel in the same truck if it's wrapped, photographed and listed separately. Our bike transport service page explains the options.
Storage while you look
If your Delhi NCR flat isn't ready yet, goods can be held in storage for a while. Our storage service page explains how it works.
Settling in
In Delhi NCR, register with the society or landlord, find out the water timings and power backup, and book internet early. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the official records to update.
