Getting Here

Travel & Stay

The Flight

Flying to Lucknow (LKO)

There are no direct flights from the UK to Lucknow. Most guests will connect via Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM) or a middle-eastern hub such as Doha (DOH) . We strongly advise you to avoid flights going via Saudi airports.

Tip: It is recommended to book a connecting flight from origin:London to destination:Lucknow. If you are booking a domestic flight within India to arrive at Lucknow, be wary of domestic baggage allowances (typically lower than international).

Airport Transfers

Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport (LKO)

The airport is approximately 16 km from the venue — around 20-30 minutes by car.

Arriving on 3rd December onwards? We will arrange transfers from the airport to your hotel.

Arriving earlier? Uber and Ola both operate in Lucknow and work reliably from the airport. A pre-paid taxi counter is also available in the arrivals hall.

Your Accommodation

Saraca Estate

We've reserved Saraca Estate for all out-of-town guests on the nights of 4th and 5th December. Check-out is on 6th December. No action needed — we'll be in touch with details closer to the date.

Arriving Early or Staying Later?

If you're planning to arrive before 4th December or leave after 6th December, here are nearby hotels we'd recommend (other options available on Booking.com).

Recommended Stay

Taj Mahal Hotel

Vipin Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow – 226010
10 min drive from venue

Luxury accommodation in the heart of Lucknow. Limited rooms available at the group rate. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Recommended Stay

Renaissance Lucknow

Vipin Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow – 226010
10 min drive from venue

A Marriott property offering contemporary luxury. Ideal for guests seeking modern amenities close to the venue.

Getting Around

Uber, Ola & Taxis

Uber works in Lucknow and is the easiest option — download it before you leave home. Ola is the local equivalent and often slightly cheaper; worth having both apps.

Auto-rickshaws are plentiful for short hops around the city but we strongly recommend taxis unless you're looking for an authentic experience.

Practical Tips

Visa, Cash & Connectivity

  • e-Visa required — UK passport holders must apply online before travel at indianvisaonline.gov.in . Apply at least 2 weeks before departure.
  • Currency — Indian Rupees (₹). Exchange at the airport or withdraw from ATMs in the city. Cards are accepted at hotels; carry some cash for smaller purchases.
  • SIM card — Pick up an Airtel or Jio tourist SIM at the airport arrivals hall for affordable data and calls. Alternatively, check roaming rates with your UK provider.

Good to Know

Survival Guide

You're in for a treat. This is a multi-day, multi-event celebration — think of it as a festival dedicated to two people you love. Just show up with an open heart, eat everything, and enjoy the ride. We'll guide you through the rest.

Dress code details will be shared closer to the date — keep an eye on this page for updates. As a general rule: casual Indianwear in hues of yellow for Haldi; blingy or cocktail attire for Sangeet; traditional Indianwear for the Shaadi ceremony.

Yes, abundantly. Indian celebrations typically offer a wide spread of vegetarian dishes alongside non-vegetarian options.

Lucknow's Awadhi cuisine is renowned for being rich, fragrant, and aromatic rather than blow-your-head-off spicy. Think slow-cooked kebabs, biryanis, and kormas. Bring a sense of adventure — and maybe some Rennies.

Your presence — especially if you've travelled all the way to Lucknow — is more than enough of a gift.

Not compulsory — but highly encouraged. Indian weddings are essentially a dance festival and the energy is infectious, so don't be surprised if your feet start moving on their own. If you'd like to arrive with a few moves in your back pocket, here's a crash course in Bhangra basics to get you started:
