Lucknow to Delhi by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Lucknow to Delhi tempo traveller route covers the Awadh-to-Capital corridor via the Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Yamuna Expressway, two of India's finest motorways. Starting from the city of tehzeeb, you pass through Kannauj — India's perfume capital famous for ittar — and the historic town of Etawah. A breakfast stop at Lucknow's Chowk area for Tunday Kababi's legendary galouti kebabs is a must before departure. The flat Gangetic plains make for a smooth ride, and the 6-lane expressway sections allow the tempo traveller to cruise comfortably. Groups often stop at Agra for a quick Taj Mahal visit, turning this into a mini Golden Triangle detour. The journey ends in Delhi, perfect for airport drops or onward connections.

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.
The journey
