Varanasi to Lucknow by Force Urbania
10 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Varanasi to Lucknow tempo traveller route traces the cultural spine of Uttar Pradesh from the world's oldest living city to the city of Nawabi tehzeeb. After morning Ganga darshan, travel via NH-2 through Jaunpur — the "Shiraz of India" — famous for its Sharqi-era mosques and the grand Atala Masjid. The Gangetic plains roll by with sugarcane fields and brick kilns dotting the landscape. Arriving in Lucknow, the group is treated to the Bara Imambara's labyrinthine Bhool Bhulaiya, the ornate Rumi Darwaza, and the British Residency ruins. Lucknow's culinary scene is legendary — Tunday Kababi in Chowk for galouti kebabs, Prakash Ki Kulfi, and the basket chaat of Hazratganj are essential group food stops.

A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
