Silokhera

Silokhra is a village located in Gurugram city in the Gurugram district of Haryana, India. The village has a population of approximately 7715 individuals residing in around 1831 households. Although there are various castes living in the village, Brahmins make up the most significant demographic.

The farmland surrounding the village has been acquired by developers and transformed into a hub of modern buildings and townships.

Sectors 15, Sushantlok, DLF Phase-4, and Sector 29 of Gurgaon were previously part of Silokhra village before being acquired by the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran. These areas are now the center of attraction for tourists, as they feature the Kingdom of Dreams, India's first live entertainment theatre, Appu Ghar by Oysters, one of the most popular water parks, and 125 cafes and restaurants.
