Things To Know Before Travelling To Lucknow

Nestled along the banks of the beautiful river Gomti and right in the heart of the Heritage Arc, Lucknow has been enchanting visitors with its Nawabi elegance for generations.

Here are a few essential information to help you prepare for your adventure to the ‘City of Nawabs’!

Best Time To Visit

Lucknow City shines during the chilly, misty winter months when the weather cools. With average temperatures ranging from 8 to 18 degrees Celsius, chilly evenings often dip to around 7 to 8 degrees. If you're planning a visit, the months from October to March are perfect for enjoying the lovely weather. Conversely, the city experiences its vibrant monsoon season from July to September, a great time to explore! And let's not forget that summer stretches from April to June, bringing its own unique charm to the city.

Local Cuisine To Try

Lucknow's cuisine reflects its royal past with vibrant street food. Try Mughal delicacies like Kebabs, Tikkas, and Roomali Roti, available at many outlets, particularly in older areas, for authentic flavours. Galouti kebabs are a signature dish—soft mutton kebabs with papaya. Don't miss the Biryani! Enjoy Sheermal, Nahari, Kulcha, Kheer, Jalebis, Chaat, Kofta, Samosa, Qulfi, Petha, Kachori, and many other treats.

Shopping in Lucknow

Lucknow boasts some charming century-old markets, like the stunning Hazratganj market, which continues to showcase its grandeur and charm even today despite all the modern changes. These markets are a treasure for shopaholics, especially known for their exquisite 'zardousi' and intricate 'chikan' embroidery. Plus, the irresistible street food, featuring delicious kebabs and biryani, makes Lucknow a delightful destination that keeps drawing tourists back again and again.

Safety

It's essential to take care of your valuable items and mobile phones. Try to stay away from isolated or dark alleys. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially when you're in crowded spots. And remember to keep emergency numbers for the police and ambulance handy!

What To Bring

If you are visiting in summer, pack lightweight and breathable clothes, comfortable footwear, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Staying hydrated is essential, so carry a water bottle with you since summer temperatures can be pretty high. For cooler weather, bring along light jackets and shawls. Don’t forget your toiletries, including a travel towel, any necessary medication, a first aid kit, insect repellent, as well as travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Ensure you have a valid ID, travel documents, and electronics like a power bank and camera.

Tips For Travellers Visiting Lucknow

1. Book your hotel in advance.

2. Pack according to the weather.

3. Take precautions to protect your belongings.

4. Dress modestly, particularly when touring religious sites.

5. Before you set off, check the weather and road conditions, especially during the monsoon and winter months.

6. Always carry an identification card.

7. Do not drink water from outdoor taps; carry your own bottled water.

Murali's 6 days trip to Lucknow

Murali Krishna Andhra pradesh

Srivalli's 4 days trip to Lucknow

I agree the Arrangements were good but information is not passed on properly and promised for driver being available for any extra local trips but denied post start of trip … giving all reasons about driver working for hours now which should have been discussed and not agreed when requested for the driver to be available for local trips after the promised trips. Too much of attitude and no manners on how to speak or covey things to clients. Please work on your communication

Tejaswee's 5 days trip to Lucknow

Overall Trip Experience: I had a good experience overall. The travel agent, Abhishek, was always available and responsive whenever I needed assistance. This trip was planned for my parents and grandmother, and I appreciate the effort that went into organizing it. Areas for Improvement: Cab Driver Changes: One of the major issues I encountered was the frequent changing of cab drivers (4-5 times during the 5-day trip). This created confusion, especially for my parents and grandmother, as they had to adjust to new drivers each time. It would be helpful if the same driver could be assigned for the entire duration of the trip or at least for longer periods. Traffic and Local Insights: While traveling from Varanasi to Prayagraj and then to Ayodhya, the cab got stuck in heavy traffic, which was a bit frustrating. Since this was during the Kumbh Snan period, I understand that there were challenges, but it would have been beneficial if the local drivers provided tips on avoiding crowded routes or traffic hotspots. Local advice could have helped avoid delays and made the trip smoother. Positive Highlights: Apart from the challenges with the drivers and traffic, the overall experience was enjoyable. Kudos to Abhishek, the travel agent, who was always there when needed and made sure everything else went smoothly.
