Lucknow is the capital of Uttar Pradesh state in the north west of India. Once known as the city of Nawabs (Muslim princes), Lucknow’s colourful history is clearly evident in its grand architecture, from colonial Government buildings to elaborate mausoleums.
Stop off in Lucknow for a day or two on your way to the Taj Mahal or stay for longer to fully experience the rich culture and famously delicious cuisine of this fascinating city.
For a 2-day trip outside of Lucknow, try a Jeep or elephant safari around Dudhwa National Park. There are upto 100 tigers in the park, as well as swamp deer, leopards, sloth bears and more. Dudhwa is about 4 hours from Lucknow by bus.
