Historically Lucknow was the capital of the Awadh region, controlled by the Delhi Sultanate and later the Mughal Empire. It was later transferred to the Nawabs of Awadh. In 1856, the British East India Company abolished local rule and took complete control of the city along with the rest of Awadh and in 1857 transferred it to the British Raj. Along with the rest of India, Lucknow became independent from Britain on 15 August 1947.

We have an optional cultural tour of Lucknow plus a food trail tour of the city - famous locally for its unique take on kebabs! See our tour leader for details.

Each afternoon we’ll get stuck into ahead of each day’s cricketing action - the highlight of which will be getting amongst the locals to watch the India v Pakistan match on Saturday, some locals say this match is more important than the final!
