2022
Hello Local Guides 🙂 How are you all? What you did in this summer vacation? I hope everybody is fine and doing good in this summer.
In my opinion, travel is really awesome and adventurous thing to do. It helps me to feel nature and helps to learn historical values. In this summer, I've traveled four cities of Uttar Pradesh, India.
The first city I've visited is Lucknow. Here are Lucknow's famous places I've visited. The photos was captured by me and some of the information was written by me and some of the information was taken from Wikipedia.
Before I share my experience, I want to tell that Lucknow is really really awesome place for tourists and it having a lot of historical archaeological sites to visit.
1. Bara Imambara:
A Imambara complex in Lucknow City which was built by Asaf-ud-Daula, Nawab of Awadh, in 1784. It is also called the Asafi Imambara. Bara means big, and imambara is a sacred hall built for the purpose of Azadari. The Bara Imambara is among the grandest buildings of Lucknow.
The building also includes the large Asfi mosque, the bhul-bhulaiya (the labyrinth), and bowli, a step well with running water. Two imposing gateways lead to the main hall. It is said that there are 1024 ways to reach the terrace but only one to come back. It is an accidental architecture.
2. Chota Imambara:
Chota Imambara is also known as Imambara Hussainabad Mubarak which is an imposing monument located in Lucknow. It was built as an Imambara or a congregation hall for Shia Muslims in 1838.
3. Rumi Darwaza:
The Rumi Darwaza which is known as the Turkish Gate in Lucknow is an imposing gateway which was built in 1784. It is an example of Awadhi architecture. The Rumi Darwaza, which stands sixty feet tall, was modeled (1784) after the Sublime Porte in Istanbul.
4. The Residency:
The Residency, also called as the British Residency and Residency Complex, is a group of several buildings in a common precinct in Lucknow. It served as the residence for the British Resident General who was a representative in the court of the Nawab. The Residency is located in the heart of the city, in the vicinity of other monuments like Shaheed Smarak, Tehri Kothi and High Court Building.
Ambedkar Memorial Park is a public park and memorial in Lucknow. There are a lot of sculptures and statues of Elephant here. Wherever you see, you'll find elephants here. Only the main entrance to the memorial guarded by statues of 62 elephants either side!!
Janeshwar Mishra Park is an urban park Lucknow. It was made in memory of late politician Janeshwar Mishra. It is claimed to be Asia's 10th largest garden.

Hey @sohampancholi,
That's a great post! I'm loving it. I'm sharing two of my photos of a trip to Vienna I did in May. I went to a Sam Smith concert and had a few days to spend in the city. 🙂
Vienna is one of my favorite places in Europe and although May is not exactly summer, the temperatures were definitely summery - 20-25C.
I'm looking forward to some other sunny 2018 posts. 🙂
I have visited Sikkim and Gangtok last month. Sikkim is real paradise on earth places like Gurudongmar lake and Lachen are just treat to visit.
