Good news for Lucknow and Varanasi
This is good news for the cities of Lucknow and Varanasi as both are tapped for a rapid increase in tourist and business traffic, due to the increase in flight capacities.
Apart from the cities being connected by air, Lucknow, and Varanasi are also focused on enhancing ground transportation.
This includes the development of railways, airways, and greenfield expressways to pave the way for the rising demands for travel options and improved ground mobility. This makes iconic attractions like the Ganga Aarti and Kashi Vishwanath Temple draw visitors.
The city of Nawabs is the capital of Uttar Pradesh, and has various historical and architectural sites worth visiting. The city is also well known for its culture, cuisine, art, and development over the years.
Lucknow has been tapped as the state’s most-watched city as it has experienced incredible growth over the years.
