- Lucknow - You will be picked up from your hotel in the afternoon and taken to the historic Gol Darwaza, the starting point of the Heritage Walk.
Made famous by a Nawab who loved to fly kites here, this old gateway has seen innumerable marriage processions and has been the centre of political activity during the Freedom Movement. From here explore the narrow lanes of the Chowk area that are sequestered by even narrower houses on either side. Your guide will explain the culture, people and lifestyle of Lucknow as you walk through this part of the city where history spills out from the confines of old buildings onto the narrow lanes below.
As you walk through crowded and colorful bazaars, soak in the sights and sounds of this vibrant city. The Walk will end at Akbari Gate, a gateway that was constructed in the 16th century during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar.
