Start your adventure with a trip to Bithoor, a historic town known for its association with the ancient kingdom of Panchala and the birthplace of Maharishi Valmiki, who wrote the Ramayana. Visit the Brahmeshwar Nath Temple, an ancient temple believed to be built by the Pandavas during their exile, and take a dip in the holy Brahma Sarovar Lake. Next, head to the Dudhwa National Park, a 5-hour drive away, to explore the wildlife and enjoy a jungle safari.
Get your adrenaline pumping with a thrilling Gomti river rafting experience. The rafting expedition covers a stretch of 1.5 km with rapids of varying grades and is suitable for all skill levels. After rafting, take a horse ride to the British Residency, a historic site where the famous Siege of Lucknow took place during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. End your adventure by taking a stroll through the Janeshwar Mishra Park, one of the largest parks in Asia.
If you have more time, consider a visit to the Bara Imambara, a grandiose shrine with intricate architecture, or a day trip to the Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary, a sanctuary housing a plethora of bird species. Foodies can't go wrong with a visit to the Tunday Kababi restaurant, a famous eatery known for its succulent kebabs. If you have less time, skip Dudhwa National Park and spend more time exploring Bithoor or sightseeing in Lucknow city.
