Travel Planning Guide

Everything you need to know before travelling from Kanpur to Lucknow.

Best Time to Visit Lucknow

  • October – March (Best): Pleasant weather, ideal for sightseeing, shopping, and food tours. Temperatures between 10°C–28°C.
  • July – September (Monsoon): Lush greenery but occasional heavy rain. Roads remain good on NH27. Carry an umbrella.
  • April – June (Summer): Hot and dry (up to 45°C). Travel early morning. AC Tempo Traveller strongly recommended.
  • Lucknow Mahotsav (Nov–Dec): Cultural festival — book your Tempo Traveller in advance during this period.

What to Carry

  • Valid ID Proof: Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Passport — required for hotel check-in in Lucknow.
  • Water Bottles: Keep 1–2 bottles per person. The journey is short but staying hydrated is important.
  • Basic Medicines: Motion sickness tablets, pain relief, and any personal prescriptions.

Travel Tips

  • Depart before 8 AM to avoid Kanpur city traffic and reach Lucknow fresh in under 1.5 hours.
  • Confirm your exact pickup address with the driver the evening before travel to avoid last-minute confusion.
  • For return trips, inform us in advance. We offer same-day return and round-trip packages at better rates.
