(Uttar Pradesh)


Nawabi Charm

Lucknow is courtesy, culture and chivalry epitomised. Capital of Uttar Pradesh situated on the bank of River Gomti, Lucknow is a perfect blend of the traditional, modern and the ultra-modern. The city's glorious yesterday is evident in its art, architecture, craft, literature, dance and music. The brave sentinels of yesterday, though crumbling and dilapidated, give a glimpse of the aura of the mighty Nawabs. However, modern Lucknow is very much akin to any other city with typical traits of unplanned development, pollution and crowded streets. But that not deter you, come take a plunge!

When to Visit:
In the upper Gangetic plains of the country, Lucknow has hot and humid summers and cold and chilly winters. So the ideal time to visit Lucknow is between October and March. Daytime temperatures vary between 20C and 30C in these months, though the night temperatures may drop right down to 1C around Christmas. So keep some woollens handy.
Orientation & Getting Around:
The city has commendable bus service in terms of connectivity and one can reach any part of the city very economically. A word of caution is in terms of reckless driving. Cycle rickshaws and tempos are best options for short distances. There are also Vikrams, which are like mini-buses and ply on various routes at a fixed price. Chauffeur-driven cars can be hired, but self-driven ones are not available.
