Lucknow holidays

Stuffed with iconic structures, fascinating bazaars and mouth-watering food, with a sprinkling of Islamic and British Raj–era architecture, Lucknow holidays offer visitors the chance to immerse themselves in history and take a step back in time. From the rise and fall of empires to the home of great leaders like Nawab Wajid Ali Shah and Begum Hazrat Mahal, Lucknow is a city with a story to tell. Explore with a private guide and soak up the atmosphere of this colourful north Indian city. Get lost in the maze of Bara Imambara, a colossal monument on the banks of the Gomati River (it’s said that there are 1, 024 ways to get inside the maze but only two to come out…). What makes Lucknow holidays more than just a history lesson is the city’s inherent culture and vibrancy. Stroll through bustling markets and sample exquisite kebabs, biryanis and other delicacies, stopping for a spot of Darjeeling tea along the way. And no Lucknow holiday is complete without experiencing the city's Awadhi cuisine, which dates back centuries and is based on a slow cooking technique that preserves the ingredients’ gorgeous flavours.
