Winters are definitely our favourite when in Lucknow, given that the city catches a much-needed break after the sweltering summer months and this season brings along an array of things, to warm our hearts and souls. The chilly air brushing against our hair, warm kisses of the sun making up for it, foggy evenings amidst the backdrop of blurry lights, colliding heat of roadside bonfires, kadak adrak chai with toasted moongphali on the sides- we can go on forever! Clearly, there are ample of reasons why we're obsessed with Awadh's winter season but we have come down to 6 of the best ones.
Lucknow winters will always be close to our hearts, no matter how far we are and admittedly, we won't ever be over the aura of the city, even during almost freezing temperatures! Lucknowites are also missing out on the iconic Mahotsav and the legendary Repertwahr Festival, which are the winter essentials here, on account of the ongoing pandemic but hopefully, the situation will be better next year.
This city moves at its own pace and winters, just makes it even more leisurely. So if you're ever lucky enough to be here during this season, you must taste all of these dishes and take part in all the other winter-special things which Lucknow has to offer, to make your visit memorable.
