Lucknow - Gold Rush Village

Historic Lucknow is a familiar sight for those travelling from Bathurst to Orange along the Mitchell Highway. Easily identifiable by the distinctive ‘poppet head’ and other mining relics that greet visitors as they enter town, there are traces of the gold rush era throughout the village.

Established during the gold rush of 1851, Lucknow was one of the richest goldfields in NSW. The Wentworth Main Mine, open on the first weekend each month, makes the perfect starting point to explore the town on foot, via the Lucknow Heritage Trail, a walking tour that takes visitors on a journey through the historic buildings and local folklore.

Today Lucknow is home to an eclectic mix of destinations: historic mine site and museum, lolly shop, cafe, fashion and homewares, local pub (with Gin Distillery) and an ever-popular skin and boot barn.

1. Bara Imambara

Don’t miss the chance to explore the Asafi Imambara and its stunning architecture on our One Day Lucknow Sightseeing Tour. Asafi Imambara, built in 1784, also known as Bara Imambara, is one of Lucknow’s most important historical sites. The complex was constructed by Asaf-ud-Daula, one of the illustrious Nawabs of Awadh, and includes the Asfi Mosque, a sizable mosque, the Bhul Bhulaiya, and a stepwell with flowing water (Shahi Baoli). 

One of the rare structures in Lucknow with no trace of European design in this one, the building has two impressive entrances that will take you to the center hall, which is reputed to be the largest arched hall in the entire globe. If you make it to the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.

• Must See / Things to Do: Witness the splendid architecture and undulating views of the city.

2. Chhota Imambara

Located next to the Bada Imambara, Chhota Imambara is also known as the Imambara of Hussainabad. This is another example of the magnificent artistry that Muhammad Ali Shah displayed when he built it in the 19th century. Its grandiosity is personified by its enormous dome, soaring minarets, and extensive lawns. Arabic writings were found on the walls. 

Due to the extensive use of glass, ornate chandeliers, and incandescent interiors that are decorated with Arabic writings, it is also known as the palace of light. The monument also includes two replicas of the Taj Mahal in Agra.

Witness the magnificence of Chhota Imambara and its enchanting glasswork on our one day sightseeing tour – book your unforgettable experience today!

• Must See / Things to Do: Marvel at the architectural grandeur of the monument.

3. Rumi Darwaza

The beautiful gateway, which stands sixty feet tall and is situated between the Chota Imambara and the Bara Imambara, once served as the entry to Old Lucknow City. It is also referred to as the Turkish gate and is strikingly similar to the Turkish gateway Bab-i-Humayun. 

It is composed of limestone-coated brick and rises to a striking height of 60 feet. It continues to be elaborate with lovely carvings and patterns. The monument’s umbrella-shaped construction, according to legend, once housed a lantern that was lit at night by the water jets coming from its arch. Lucknow has made Rumi Darwaza its emblem, and its magnificence is sure to fascinate everyone.

• Must See / Things to Do: Capture images of the landmark monument.

4. Shahi Bauli

Next on our sightseeing tour is a hidden gem, Shahi Bauli. It showcases architectural brilliance and historical significance. The ancient water reservoir was built and used during the Mughal times. It was constructed adjacent to Bada Imambara to provide water and food to the common people of Awadh during the severe famine. 

During the British Era, it was used as a royal guest house. The 5-storey structure showcases Indo-Islamic designs. The ornate stepwell houses brilliant archways and exquisitely carved doorways. Its descending levels and symmetric arches create a mesmerizing visual effect. 

Must See / Things to Do: Admire the unique design and architecture of the stepwell.

5. Clock Tower

Near Rumi Darwaza, Husainabad Clock Tower is an architectural marvel. It was constructed to welcome the 1st Lt. Gov of the United Province of Awadh, Sir George Couper. Since 1881, it has been the tallest clock tower in India. The 67-m-high and 4-faced structure displays Victorian-Gothic brilliance, with a 14-ft-long pendulum and a dial shaped like a 12-petaled flower. 

It was inspired by the famous clock tower in England, Big Ben. Its inside is made of gunmetal. The Mughal influences allow it to mix well with the surrounding Mughal-Era buildings. In 2010, the manually operated clock was upgraded to an electric clock.

Must See / Things to Do: Visit during the evening to see the clock tower light up with dazzling colors.

6. British Residency

The British Residency was the headquarters of the East India Company but became a British refugee camp during the 1857 uprising. The complex is a group of buildings in one enclosure. It housed quarters, stables, armory, worship places, residential quarters, and dispensaries. 

The once imposing 3-story main building hosted a library, games rooms, and offices. There was a beautiful fountain in the center of the entrance. The banquet hall has intricate carvings on the tall arches, high ceilings, and large hallways. Overlooking the Gomti River, it is now in complete ruins and is now protected by the Archeological Survey of India.

Must See / Things to Do: Explore the ruins and imagine how the complex might have looked during its glory days.

7. Picture Gallery

Picture Gallery is one of the oldest picture galleries in Lucknow. The quaint art museum exhibits an extraordinary assortment of paintings, artifacts, portraits of Oudh’s Nawabs, and photographs. Most of the intricate paintings are evidence of the optical illusion. On your Lucknow city tour, marvel at the life-sized portraits of the historic regional rulers in traditional dresses. 

The run-down red brick pavilion was once the royal summer place. It was built in the Barderie style. There are 12 gateways, a mosque, and plenty of greenery. It overlooks a large artificial water tank. The incorporation of iron pillars in its upper-story pavilion deviates its construction from the traditional Nawabi architecture.

Must See / Things to Do: Take a guided tour to explore the history and significance of each painting and artifact.

8. Lucknow Zoo

The Nawab Wahid Ali Shah Zoological Garden, often known as the Lucknow Zoo, is regarded as one of the top tourist destinations in Lucknow for nature enthusiasts and families.

Established in 1921 on 71 acres of land, the area is now home to numerous wildlife wonders, including over 440 species of mammals, 340 species of birds, and several kinds of reptiles.

In addition to the vintage train from the British era on exhibit in the zoo and the toy train rides and paddle boating, you can also check out the butterfly park and nature interpretation center while you are here.

• Must See / Things to Do: Enjoy spotting rare animals in a verdant setting.

9. Ambedkar Memorial Park

A significant landmark of modern Lucknow is the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Public Park, which is situated on Vipul Khand in Gomti Nagar. The park, which spans a sizable area, is home to numerous impressive structures. The entrance is guarded by the 62 elephant statues of the Pratibimb Sthal. There are several statues of Ambedkar that depict his life in the Ambedkar Stupa, which is in the center of the city. 

Social reformers like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Jyotiba Phule, Sree Narayana Guru, Shahuji Maharaj, and Kanshiram have statues inside the two-domed Parivartan Sangrahalay building. Gautam Buddha, Birsa Munda, Sant Ravidas, Guru Ghasidas, and Kabir Das marble statues are housed in different buildings. In addition, there is a gallery with bronze murals.

Immerse yourself in the inspiring history of social reformers at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Public Park on this Lucknow sightseeing tour by private car – schedule your visit now!

• Must See / Things to Do: Spend an evening relaxing with your loved ones.

10. Dilkusha Kothi

You can only witness the building’s ruins from the 18th century, but Dilkusha Kothi also holds significant historical and cultural value. Even though it was seriously damaged, the Baroque-style building on the Gomti River was able to survive the first struggle for Indian independence in 1857. 

The structure was initially constructed to serve as the Nawabs’ hunting lodge. The original three-story structure had a basement and was quite similar to Seaton Delaval Hall in England. The four elaborate octagonal towers were reached by a grand flight of stairs. Even now, the walls, towers, and a well-kept garden still serve as reminders of the city’s illustrious past.

• Must See / Things to Do: Walk through the bygone era to discover the history of these ruins.

LUXURY INDIA ESSENTIAL TOUR

What people love about lucknow tours.

Fantastic CEO, fantastic itinerary at a good pace with lots of extension into cultural, environmental, culinary and social areas. Would highly recommend this tour.

This Buddha pilgrimage took me to all the sites I wanted to visit. From Lumbini, Nepal (birthplace), through India ... Kapilavastu (childhood home), Bodhgaya (where enlightened), Rajgir, Sravasti, and Vaishali (lectured/taught), and Kushinagar (place of death). Also enjoyed seeing Hindu ceremonies along the River Ganga. Biggest advantage of this tour is driving in a smaller vehicle with a small group, as opposed to a large bus with larger tour group (slower pace).

I was the only person on this tour and got the same dedicated treatment as if there were a whole group. I was picked up at each stop, and given a guide and driver, then delivered to the next stop. The only hitch was a missed train because I wasn't given the correct time by either the voucher or the driver. But no problem in the end, as I was driven to the next stop instead. All the cities were very interesting and great photo ops, especially Varanasi. The cooking lesson in Jaipur, given by my guide's wife at their apartment, was especially memorable.

Lucknow is a cultural hotspot in northern India for many centuries. Heritage, food, shopping whatever reason you travel for it has them all.

Let’s jump into it.

Lucknow is the capital of the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is famous for its Nawabs and Kababs. The city was the capital of the Awadh dynasty for many centuries till the British conquered it. The Awadhi Nawabs (this is how the kings or the supreme leaders of the Awadhi dynasty were addressed) built multiple monuments across the city and developed it as a hub of music, dance, art, poetry, embroidery, education, and food. The Nawabs were known for their love for food which helped the inception of Awadhi cuisine. Lucknow variation of Biryani is considered to be one of the best. Though most of its heritage monuments were destroyed in the war with the British, the city continued to thrive during the colonial era as a center of education, revolution, and urbanization. After struggling out of the post-independence hiccups, it has emerged as one of the fastest-growing planned cities while keeping its rich heritage intact.

Lucknow by Flight

Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport is situated within city limits. You can directly fly here from most Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore within 1-3 hrs. International flights are available from South East Asia and Middle East Asia.

~ 25-70 USD or 2-5k INR

Airport Transfer:  The airport is part of the red line of the Lucknow metro that connects the railway station and most of the city. You need to walk 100 meters straight after exiting from the terminal to reach the station. The fare is 15-60 rupees depending on your destination.

Lucknow by Train

Lucknow has two major railway stations, Lucknow Junction (LJN) and Charbagh (LKO) located opposite each other. If you are traveling by train, you will have to get down at any of these two. The stations are connected with the rest of the city and airport through the red line of Lucknow metro. 

Lucknow Junction is the 2nd most important junction in northern India after Delhi. So, while departing, plan to reach at least 30 minutes before your boarding time.

Built in a combination of Mughal, Rajput, and Awadhi architecture, Charbagh Station is 100 years and is considered one of the most beautiful railway buildings in India. If you are traveling by train, make a pause to marvel at it. It can be seen from inside the metro while passing through this area.

From New Delhi to Lucknow by train

~ 7-35 USD or 500-2500 INR

~ 7-12 hours

From Agra to Lucknow by train

~ 3-20 USD or 200-1500 INR

People sitting in the inquiry are pretty useless and have no intention to help passengers with any information. Please check train details in advance from the Indian Railways website. I can tell you this from my personal experience.

Lucknow by Road

Lucknow is well connected through highways and expressways with other cities. Delhi to Lucknow travel time is 8-9 hours. The Lucknow-Agra Expressway is the longest and best road in India. The travel time from Agra to Lucknow is 5 hours.

Public Transport in Lucknow

Lucknow is a huge city. All attractions are sparsely located. 

Cab aggregators like Uber, Ola are easily available throughout the city. Use them for your transport from/to the airport, railway stations, sights located outside the old city center. Streets in the old city are congested. It will be difficult to take cabs in areas like Chowk, Aminabad. Getting a spot for parking is next to impossible.

If you are on a budget, use the metro. Metro runs frequently between 6 am to 10 pm. It covers a large area including the airport, railway stations, and ISBT. You will love the stonework, paintings installed in all metro stations. There is no metro in the old city center. You can find the Lucknow metro route here .

We were in Lucknow during Dec 2020 and boarded the metro only during the day. The stations are huge and the number of people traveling was less. Though I saw multiple security cameras and guards were installed, please be careful during the late hours.

The best way to explore the city center is by an autorickshaw or a tempo. Roads in old Lucknow are narrow and congested. No one follows any traffic rule. Prices will be between 50-250 INR (~ 1-4 USD) within city limits. Some parts have to be explored only on foot. 

If you are on a shoestring budget, you can opt for a shared tempo. Shared tempos run in different routes. Ask any local for the route to your destination. Like we took a shared tempo from Bansmandi Chauraha (which was 250 meters from our hotel) to Kaiserbagh Chauraha for 15 rupees per person. Then took another shared auto for 10 rupees per person to Charak Chauraha for Chowk. These shared autos are the most reliable in terms of frequency and cost-effectiveness. But board them only if you are comfortable traveling with 6 other people crammed in a small vehicle.

Things to see in Lucknow

Lucknow is full of historical monuments, religious places, and parks. Below are the few notable ones which you must visit while in Lucknow.

The best place to start your sightseeing is ‘Rumi Darwaza’ as anything in the old town is either within walking distance or a short autorickshaw ride away. It was built in the 18th century to mark the start of then Lucknow. As time passed and the city grew bigger, it lost the status of the city entrance. It was made into an entryway of the Nawab’s palace. The palace does not exist anymore. It was destroyed by the British when the Nawab refused to surrender. But many monuments inside the palace still survived. So does the Rumi Darwaza. Named after the famous Persian poet Rumi, Rumi Darwaza also stands the test of time like Rumi and his poems. Now, it has become the symbol of Lucknow.

Location: here Opening Hours: 24 hours Admission: Free The minimum time required to visit: 15-30 minutes

Bada Imambara Complex

After crossing the Rumi Darwaza, a huge entrance leading to the Bada Imambara complex will be on your right. A large flower garden and a few shops selling local souvenirs will welcome you once you enter. Entry to the garden is free of cost. Cameras and tripods are not allowed. A cloakroom is available at the entrance. The second entrance after the garden is where you need to buy tickets for the rest of the complex. Besides the Imambara, it houses Asifi mosque, a labyrinth – the Bhool Bhulaiya, and a step well – Shahi Baoli.

When Lucknow was hit with famine, its Nawab Asif-Ud-Daula commissioned the famous architecture Kifayat-Ullah to build these monuments to create employment for locals. To reduce cost no metals were used. Even though cheaper materials were used, these are considered architectural marvels for their strength and stability even today.

After entering through the 2nd gate, you will see a magnificent mosque on your right. The legend goes British wanted to weaken its foundation by sipping water through its walls. But they could not succeed. It is a functioning mosque so only Islam practitioners are allowed inside. But you can enjoy its architectural brilliance from the outside.

The largest building inside the complex is the Imambara. It has three large halls. The central hall which is said to be the largest in the world has no pillars. The mint-colored hall was built in Persian style. The other two halls that were built in Indian and Chinese style are equally impressive.

The multi-storeyed labyrinth was built to strengthen its defense mechanism. It has a network of more than 1000 passages and identical doors with only one door leading to the exit. Every turn has 4 doors, only one leading towards the exit. Passages were built in such a way that they create an illusion of climbing down when you are actually climbing up.

A seven-storeyed stepwell was built to create a water source for the palace. The architecture is similar to the labyrinth and gives an illusion of climbing down while climbing up. There are certain windows from where the reflection of the entry door can be seen in the water but not the other way around. It was made for the royal guard to keep an eye on all the visitors so that they can prepare for any unwanted visitor.

Location: here Opening Hours: 6 am – 5 pm Admission: The combined ticket that also includes Chhota Imambara, Picture Gallery, Shahi Hamam costs 50 INR for Indians, 500 INR (~ 7 USD) for Foreigners The minimum time required to visit: 2-3 hours Guide: Standard rates which are regulated by the Govt will be on display at the ticket counter. The guide took 150 INR (~ 2 USD) for two of us for all three monuments except the mosque.

Located near Bada Imambara, it houses the Chhota Imambara, a royal bath, and a princess’s tomb. The white outer wall of imambara has intricate work in blue. Inside, it is decorated with expensive lamps and chandeliers imported from different parts of the world. For its decoration, it is also called the palace of lights.

The Shahi Hamam or royal bath looks like a simplified version of Turkish Baths. The courtyard is decorated with lots of flower plants, fountains, and a pastel pink gateway.

We were stopped at the gate to be informed that a guide is mandatory to enter. Unlike Bada Imambara, I did not see any display at the site or on the tourism board’s website. He explained histories about the places and helped us to click a few couple pictures. It was not a bad deal for 100 INR (< 2 USD) for 2 persons. He did not accompany us inside the main Imambada building. Another man offered to show us around inside the building in exchange for a small tip of 50 INR (< 1 USD). It was worth paying the amount.

Location: here Opening Hours: 6 am – 5 pm Admission: The combined ticket that also includes Bada Imambara, Picture Gallery, Shahi Hamam costs 50 INR for Indians, 500 INR (~ 7 USD) for Foreigners The minimum time required to visit: 1 hour Guide: 150 INR including tips for 2 people

While going to Chhota Imambara from Rumi Darwaza, you will see a huge clock tower which has been a symbol of Lucknow for many years. Climbing is not allowed.

Location: here Opening Hours: 24 hours Admission: Free The minimum time required to visit: 10-15 minutes

It has nothing special. In fact, we accidentally discovered it on our way to Bada Imambara. Even the ticket seller was surprised. We were exhausted after walking for long hours. We sat for some time and watched squirrels playing around. Also, you will get an amazing view of the Aasifi mosque from here.

Location: here Opening Hours: 8 am – 8 pm Admission: 10 INR The minimum time required to visit: 10-15 minutes

The 18th-century bungalow is mostly in ruins. It is located quite far from the old city. There were no other tourists, only a handful of locals enjoying a family picnic. You can enjoy some time away from the overbearing crowd of Lucknow.

Location: here Opening Hours: 8 am – 7 pm Admission: Free The minimum time required to visit: 30 minutes

Ambedkar Park is located on the opposite side of the Gomti River. This part of the city is developed much later with planned roads, clean footpaths, and several statues. It is a large park decorated with several statues of elephants, horses, and fountains in marble. It houses an open-air auditorium too.

Cameras and tripods are not allowed inside the park.

Location: here Opening Hours: 11 am – 9 pm Admission: 15 INR The minimum time required to visit: 1-2 hours

Lucknow is food heaven. Awadhi Nawabs were known for their knack for food. Awadhi cuisine which originated in Lucknow has a very distinctive taste and flavors than Mughal or any existing Indian cuisines. The two dishes that are synonymous with Lucknow are Biriyani and Galauti Kabab . All foods in Lucknow are flavourful but not heavy on the stomach at the same time. Don’t forget to try out its famous foods like Kulcha Nihari, and different types of Kababs. The best places to try them are Idrees , Tunday Kababi , and Dashtarkhan among others. For vegetarians, it offers a variety of chaats, kulfi, and sweets.

I will be sharing a detailed food guide for Lucknow soon.

Lucknow is divided into two parts by the Gomti River. The old city, railway stations, the airport, and bus terminals are on the western side. Most areas here are congested and have no proper planning. There are no good places to stay in the city center. However, there are a few economic options in the Hussainganj area. Expect to pay around 1500-2000 INR (14-28 USD) for almost negligible amenities. But all major attractions will be closer to the stay. If you have the budget, you can opt for Lebua or La Place Sarovar Portico .

The eastern side is developed in the last few decades into a commercial and business hub. You will find ample stay options at a reasonable rate in the Gomti Nagar area. The only con is the distance from the major attractions. But the area is well connected by the metro. Cabs are easily available. Some quality options will be Vivanta by Taj , Novotel , Fairfield by Marriott , Hyatt Regency , Hilton Garden Inn , etc.

The optimal option considering cost, amenities, and access to public transport is to stay in Gomti Nagar near any metro station. For more budget options check booking dot com . Airbnb will not a good option for Lucknow.

The one thing that you should not miss buying in Lucknow is Chikankari products. Chikankari is a specific type of embroidery art that originated in Lucknow. You will find dresses and all kinds of Indian wear like Sarees and kurtis with Chikankari motifs for both men and women.

Don’t fall for tourist traps. Guides, autorickshaw drivers, hotel owners usually offer to take tourists to the best place for shopping. But they will actually take you to shops that are notorious for overcharging tourists in exchange for commissions they get from the shop.

Shop from local markets in Chowk or Aminabad area. Don’t forget to bargain. You can also buy spices that are used in Lucknowi cuisine.

Lucknow gets very hot during the summer months. The best time to visit Lucknow is October – March. Try to avoid any Islamic festivals as major attractions will be closed for religious activities.

I stayed in Lucknow for 2 days, boarded all sorts of public transports including a shared tempo, ate at local shops, and wandered through the tiny, congested lanes of the old city. Not even for once, I felt uncomfortable. People have been very helpful and friendly.

Uttar Pradesh has been on top of the chart for higher crime rates for many decades irrespective of its political situation. So, both women and men should keep safety at the highest priority while in Lucknow. Many shops sell guns openly in some areas with questionable permits. Avoid going to such areas. Do not venture outside the touristy area late at night. Respect the religious or cultural sentiments of locals.

Lucknow is safe for women and solo travelers.

Lucknow is a conservative city. Major attractions in Lucknow hold religious importance. Indian attire is not mandatory. You can wear Western clothes like jeans, long skirts, and maxi dresses. Keep a scarf handy in your day bag. Some religious places might require you to cover your head.

Lucknow Itinerary

Now let’s address the most important question. How many days do you need to visit Lucknow? Lucknow is a huge city with a lot of things to see and eat. You will need at least 2 full days to explore all that Lucknow has to offer.

If you have 48 hours in Lucknow, you can follow the below itinerary. It is assumed you will be reaching Lucknow and complete the check-in formalities in your hotel the previous night or early on day 1.

Start your day with a traditional Lucknowi breakfast at Sharma Ji ki Tea Stall. Enjoy your tea with Gol Samosa and Bun Makkhan.

Then take an autorickshaw to Rumi Darwaza. Visit the Bada Imambada Complex next to it.

It’s time for lunch. Try the famous Lucknow biriyani at Idrees, the best Biriyani shop in Lucknow. Pack your food and enjoy a picnic lunch at Nibu Park. Do not forget to clean the place before you leave.

Visit Chhota Imambara next.

Then take a cab to the other side of the city and enjoy the sunset at the Ambedkar Memorial Park.

Start your day 2 with another traditional Lucknow breakfast which is Kulcha Nihari at Rahim’s.

It’s time for some shopping and some more food tasting. The Chowk area will be full of local shops for Chikankari clothes, and spices. Try Makkhan Malai (a traditional sweet made of milk cream available only during winter), Malai Pan in the old city.

Have your lunch at Open Air Restaurant. It is an old shop that specializes in Chicken dishes.

Then spend some leisure time at Dilkusha Kothi.

Head for the airport/railway stations/ bus terminal to embark on your next destination.

If you have only a day in Lucknow, follow the day 1 itinerary. It covers all important aspects of Lucknow.

The budget of a trip depends on personal preference and affordability. You can travel dirt cheap by hitchhiking, or couchsurfing. You can travel as luxurious as staying in a royal palace. The cost of traveling mentioned below is to give you a rough estimation of the minimum amount one requires for a 2 day Lucknow trip.

I assume you will stay in a budget hotel, eat out in moderate restaurants, and use public transport. Also, all costs are mentioned for 2 persons on a sharing basis. Expenses like accommodation, and cabs will be shared between them.

It will be around 7000 – 8500 INR / 103 – 124 USD for a 2-day trip for two on a sharing basis.

Now, you are all set for the city of Nawabs. If you have any other doubts, ask me in the comment section.

Culture & Heritage

Lucknow, the golden city of the east’ retains an old world charm that fascinates one and all. Regarded as one of the finest cities of India, Lucknow emanates a culture that combines emotional warmth, a high degree of sophistication, courtesy and a love for gracious living. This sublime cultural richness famous as ‘Lucknowi Tehzeeb’ blends the cultures of two communities living side by side for centuries, sharing similar interests, speaking a common language -Urdu. Many of the cultural traits and customs peculiar to Lucknow have become living legends today. The credit for this goes to the Nawabs of Awadh, who took keen interest in every walk oflife and encouraged them to attain a rare degree of perfection

‘Lucknow’, this name is synonymous with architectural beauties of ‘Lakhauri’ bricks, the fragrance of ‘itra’, musical notes, the sound of dancers’ trinklets, the sweetness of ‘dussheri’ mangoes, ‘malai’ and ‘gulab revadis’, and of course its ‘Mehman Nawazi’. Known for its refinement in speech, entertainment, dresses and manners, Lucknow is also called the ‘ City of Adab ‘. Infact, it is here that one can experience hospitality in the true sense of the term. Various cultural ingredients have contributed to the richness of this unique city. Mention must be made of the Urdu language. Gazals, Shairi, expressive dance forms, colourful festivals, buzzing chowks and various exciting games like Patangbazi, Baterbazi & Kabutarbazi

The Kathak school founded by him was perfected by his sons Thakur Prasad, Durga Parsad. Bindadin. Kalka Prasad and the three sons of Kalka -Achchhan Maharaj, Lachchu Maharaj and Shambhu Maharaj. Today Pandit Birju Maharaj is the living doyen of this glorious house of LucknowTurning to the festivals that make, Lucknow one-of-a-kind, mention must be made to the Moharrum festival.

Lucknow became the focal point of a cultural renaissance with theshifting of capital from Faizabad to Lucknow in 1776. Under royal patronage Kathak, Thumri, Khayal, Dadra, Gazals, Qawalies and Sher-o-Shairi reached their zenith point. As a centre of Islamic learning Lucknow witnessed the formation of Lucknow school of poetry under renowned poets like Anes, Dabeer, Imam-Buksh ‘Nasika’, Mirza Mohd. Raza Khan Burq, Atish, Mirza Shauq Asar, Josh and others. Apart from Gazals, another form of long narrative poem for which Lucknow is famous is Masnav i. Elegy writing in Urdu also reached a new height through the three forms-‘ marsiyas ‘*. ‘ salams’* and ‘nauhas ‘*. Urdu as a language attained a rare degree of perfection in Lucknow and slowly Lucknow emerged as a cradle of unforgettable gazals, masnavi, elegy, haza l* and dramas.

Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, himself composed a number of songs and dramas under the pen name of , ‘Akhtari Pia’. Of the famous Indian dance styles kathak is closely associated with Lucknow.

This devotional dance stvle of pre-Mughal days was transformed into a highly eclectic dance form under the patronage of the Nawabs of Awadh. Pandit Iswari Prasad Mishra of Handia is said to be the founder of the Lucknow gharana of Kathak.

Commemorating the death of Imam Hussain, Moharrum witnesses emotional processions of tazias (models of Imam Hussain’s mausoleum at Karbala, Iraq) & Alam’s.Not only festivals, the people of this beautiful city ‘indulge in various exciting contests that have come down from the time of the Nawabs. Kite flying is one such sport. Kites of different shapes, sizes, colours take to the skies leading to all round excitement and enjoyment The art of training pigeons which was perfected by the nobility of yesteryears is prevalent even today. The pigeon flying event is yet another exciting game that is eagerly awaited. No account of Lucknowi culture is complete without a mention of the famous ‘Chowk’ of Lucknow.

The term ‘Chowk’ has become synonymous with Lucknow. ‘Chowk’ has played a vital role in the development of the Lucknowi culture. It is the pivotal point around which the traders, engravers, painters. artisans, weavers,singers and nautch girls flourished and grew. This main bazar of yester years has not changed much. but transformation is there. Its humming and lively characteristics represent Lucknowi culture in its modern day context.

What to see! A Quick Guide to Lucknow Local Sightseeing Tour by Taxi

Below is the list of sightseeing places included in the 1 Day Lucknow Local Sightseeing tour package.

1. Bara Imambara

• Must See / Things to Do: To successfully navigate through the labyrinth and understand the history behind it, hire a guide to take you through it as they not only provide you directions, but also perform some exciting tricks.
• Timings: 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM

With the one day Lucknow city tour, your first stop will be the Bara Imambara which may also be known to you as Asafi Imambara. This place also serves as an important place of worship for the Muslims who come here every year to celebrate Muharram.

The Imambara is best known for its astonishing labyrinth, the Bhul Bhulaiya. This maze is located on the upper floor of the monument. Unarguably, one of the finest example of Mughal architecture, Bara Imambara is truly an engineering marvel and also recognized as the world’s largest unsupported structure. Bara Imambara also houses other structures in its complex like the Asifi Mosque, Shahi Bawali, and Rumi Darwaza.

This building is made of Lakhanui bricks and lime plaster. The architecture of Bara Imambara is a reflection of the Mughal style of architecture. The central hall of the Imambara ranks as the largest arched hall in the world. The bricks in this building have been put together with the interlocking system of bricks, and the ceiling stands devoid of any support of pillars.

The Bara Imambara opens through two large doorways, which are flanked by the grand Asafi Mosque on one side, and a large baori on the other. The Bhul Bhulaiya is a complex, confusing narrow passageway snaking its way inside the upper floor which eventually leads the visitor to the rooftop. The rooftop offers an excellent panoramic view of Lucknow.

2. Chhota Imambara

• Must See / Things to Do: Take special notice of the interiors of this grand monument which are decked with delicate Arabic glass work and calligraphy and designed with a gold-plated dome, attractive chandeliers.
• Recommended Duration: 45 Minutes

The Chhota Imambara is also known as the Imambara of Hussainabad. This impressive monument lies westward of Bara Imambara and will be the next stop in the one day Lucknow tour. The Chhota Imambara used to be a worship hall for Shia Muslims and was built by Muhammad Ali Shah, in the year 1838. The Imambara also serves as Ali Shah and the queen mother’s mausoleum, and they are buried side by side.

Decorated with bright, glowing chandeliers during the festival of Muharram, it is one of the most valuable historical structures that Lucknow has. This monument displays various architectural styles and is a beautiful amalgam of Charbagh, Indo-Islamic and Persian structural and architectural enterprises.

The exterior of the monument is adorned with Quranic verses which have been written in calligraphy on the walls of the building. Baroque carvings and exquisite calligraphy make the Chota Imambara one of the most exciting places to visit in Lucknow.

The five entryways of the Chhota Imambara are dedicated to ‘Panjetan’ or the holy five. The Imambara houses two halls and a Shehnasheen. The Shehnasheen has a raised platform where the Zarih of Imam Husain is kept. The hall of Azakhana is lavishly decorated with chandeliers and crystal glass lamp-stands. There are also beautiful water fountains inside the complex of the Chhota Imambara.

3. Rumi Darwaza

• Must See / Things to Do: Notice the very top layer of the darwaza and you will notice that there are designs in the shape of cloves, while if you look at the darwaza upside down, it forms a necklace.

The Rumi Darwaza in Lucknow was constructed in the year 1784 under the patronage of Nawab Asaf-ud-daula. Also known as the Turkish Gateway, The Rumi Darwaza is actually thought of as a replica of a gateway that is very similar, in ancient Constantinople.

The Rumi Darwaza is 60 feet tall. The highest storey of Rumi Darwaza has an octagonal “chhatri” carved beautifully and can be visited after climbing a shirt flight of stairs. The word “Rumi” is derived from the modern day Rome. Rumi Darwaza is one of the first gateways that have been built in Lucknow.

There used to be a huge lantern on top of the structure that would light up the structure at night making it look breathtakingly beautiful. Little jets of water and water along with delicately carved flowers adorn the gateway and beautify it even further.

Th Rumi Darwaza is truly a sight to behold and must be visited by everyone who is in Lucknow and your one day local sightseeing tour would not be complete without visiting it.

4. Shahi Bauli

5. hussainabad clock tower.

• Must See / Things to Do: The top of the clock tower, which offers an excellent view of the entire Hussainabad area.

Hussainabad Ghanta Ghar is the tallest clock tower in India. This 67 metres high free-standing clock tower is perched between Bara Imambara and Chhota Imambara. This imposing clock tower occupies the central position in a green field.

Hussainabad lock tower was designed by Roskell Payne. The architectural style is an influence of Victorian-Gothic architectural designs. This square tower is constructed of red bricks and has four clock faces. Each clock face has a 12 petalled flower shaped dials, and each petal signifies an hour. At the summit of the tower, there is a bird-shaped figure mounted over a small shiny dome.

This edifice is a fine example of British architectural skills. The majestic Ghanta Ghar was constructed between 1882 to 1887 by the Hussainabad Endowment in honour of Sir George Couper. From the top, you can get a brilliant view of all the places you will visit as part of the Lucknow one day local sightseeing tour.

6. British Residency

The British Residency is an important historical site of the Lucknow sightseeing tour. Although this place is now in ruins, it is a monument maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India. The British Residency used to serve as a sanctuary for some British citizens in the 1857 independence rising. Lucknow became the centre of all British political activities during the siege. The Residency served as the unchallenged centre of the British for almost 3 months during the time.

The Residency houses the graves of around 2000 British soldiers who died in the Revolt of 857. Today, the British Residency of Lucknow has been converted into a government office. The Residency also has a museum which is maintained by the government.

This zoo was established in 1921 to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales to Lucknow. The zoo was initially known as the Prince of Wales Zoo but was renamed later.

This zoological garden houses a variety of exotic animals such as Royal Bengal tiger, white tiger, great pied hornbill, and golden pheasant among others.

Another place to visit here as part of your one day city tour by car is the Uttar Pradesh State Museum which displays an impressive collection of artefacts of Awadh and Lord Buddha.

Located in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, the park was built to commemorate the personalities such as Dr Ambedkar, Kanshi Ram and others who dedicated their lives to fight for equality and justice. This park was built with a budget of a whopping seven billion rupees and one of the most popular attractions of the city.

11. Dilkusha Palace

• Must See / Things to Do: The garden is beautiful during spring and will definitely make you feel like a royal so take a walk through the flowering expanse.

Dilkusha Kothi Palace which is now partly in ruins was built in the year 1800 by Major Gore Ouseley. This monument used to be a hunting lodge and also a summer retreat of the kings of Awadh. The architectural pattern of this three-storeyed monument has been designed in the European Baroque style. The massive pillars on the front and the steps leading up to those pillars are an excellent example of this school of architecture.

The Archaeological Survey of India has taken initiatives to preserve this place. With our low price tour, you will be visiting the gardens of the kothi that are a favourite for visitors and picnics are organised here during winter months.
