Itinerary
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. The Walk will end at Akbari Gate, a gateway that was constructed in the 16th century during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. After the walk, drive down to Kotwara House, the home of Muzaffar Ali, descendant of the oldest estate of Awadh for an exclusive dinner. The menu for guests is specially curated by Muzaffar & Meera Ali, while the food is cooked by their family cooks in small quantity, just enough for the diners of the day. If Muzaffar & Meera are in residence, they are happy to dine with guests, else they remotely supervise this dining experience opening their family home to guests. After dinner you will be dropped back at your hotel.

About Lucknow
Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh, is a city of Nawabi palaces, grand imambaras and refined Awadhi cooking beside the Gomti River.
Lucknow was the capital of the Nawabs of Awadh in the 18th and 19th centuries, who left a city of domes, gateways and gardens. The Bara Imambara, built in the 1780s, has a vast vaulted hall and an upper labyrinth, the Bhul Bhulaiya, and the Rumi Darwaza, a towering gate, stands nearby. The Chota Imambara, the Husainabad clock tower and the Residency, whose ruins carry the marks of the siege of 1857, complete a historic circuit.
