I am basically from Lucknow and live in Noida. Normally I board a night train to visit Lucknow. We were visiting my parents in Lucknow on new year’s weekend and this time decided to drive down because of two reasons. One, we had to pick up some stuff from my parent’s house for which we needed a vehicle. Second and more important was that, having completed the big road drive (Delhi – Jaisalmer- Jodhpur – Delhi in 4 days) on previous weekend, we were high on driving!
The Delhi to Lucknow distance is approximately 500 km by road. The standard route is Delhi – Hapur – Moradabad – Rampur- Bareilly – Shahjahanpur- Sitapur – Lucknow. I had been hearing about the bad road conditions on some stretch on this route. Another new route that is becoming popular is the Delhi – Kanpur – Lucknow route. Some of my friends tried this route few months back and said that it is fast as it’s a 4 lane road but longer than the standard route by about 50 km. We decided to take the longer and the faster one.
“Delhi Kanpur Lucknow” route can be divided into 4 parts:
a. Delhi to Agra ~ 200Km
b. Agra to Etawah ~ 125Km
c. Etawah to Kanpur ~ 150Km
d. Kanpur to Lucknow ~ 80Km
Delhi to Agra: Started early (around 5:45 am) from Noida and reached NH-2 via Kalindi Kunj. Road was clear in the morning so we covered the first 150 km quickly. Delhi-Mathura-Agra road is an important road (because of Agra) so generally one doesn’t experience bad roads here. But this time, I guess maintenance was due and we met some rough stretches. Arrived Mathura (160 km) around 8:30 and stopped at McDonald’s to get fresh, but couldn’t resist the smell of fresh burgers and ended up having burger and french fries for breakfast. You can not miss this McD while driving as its huge in size and is a good place to stop for breakfast if you start early in the morning.
We continued on NH-2 and reached Agra which was around 50 km from our first stop. On this route, I was going beyond Agra for the first time, but knew that there is a flyover from where the road turning towards right leads to Agra city and the flyover continues straight for Kanpur. I did confirm with some pedestrians and continued towards Etawah-Kanpur. This straight road is supposed to be the bypass and one expects a smooth drive. Seems that this one has lost the ‘bypass’ status as people were avoiding the service road and drove across the main bypass. This was the main bottleneck on this stretch and we took some time to cross Agra.
Agra to Etawah – From Agra, we headed towards Etawah and based on our research about this road, we were on the ‘WORK IN PROGRESS’ stretch. From Agra to Tundla (some 20 odd km) the road was quite good and I was smoothly sailing the car but after crossing Tundla, we started feeling traces of new construction. Diversions, unfinished roads, vehicles coming on wrong sides all started together. Once, near Etawah bypass, we got confused and took a newly constructed but unfinished road that was closed in between and then had to come all the way back to take the old road and ended up driving few extra km. One must take care of this specially near Etawah.
We reached Etawah around 12 pm. Bypass was still not functional so we crossed the city and continued on road towards Kanpur. The road directions inside the city are surprisingly clear and simple.
Etawah to Kanpur: After Etawah, the road condition was awesome. We felt as if we were on Delhi-Jaipur Road. The road has 4 lanes with wide divider in between. You should take care of vehicles coming towards you in the wrong direction. Yes, people avoid taking U-turns and use wrong side and it becomes very dangerous when you are driving at 100-120 kmph on a smooth road. But since the road condition is very good, one can drive on a comfortable speed to cover this stretch.
We took a small tea break, had some snacks we were carrying from Delhi and continued towards Kanpur. We reached near Kanpur around 2 pm and then took a cut that lead to Kanpur city. I visited my college HBTI after a long time. The roads inside Kanpur are just as they were 6 years back! They are in such a bad shape that by looking at the road, one can not say whether it was ever built or not!
Kanpur to Lucknow: It was really nostalgic being in Kanpur and visiting college after so many years. Finally we had evening snacks and tea in Kanpur and headed towards Lucknow. We spent around 3 hr in college and then hit back the road to reach Lucknow by late evening. In college days I used to drive my ‘Hero Puch’ on Kanpur-Lucknow high way and at that time it was 2-lane single road. Now it is 4-lane double road. The road quality is poor near Kanpur but it improved as we approached Lucknow. We covered this stretch of 80 km in around 90 minutes. Entered Lucknow around 6:30 pm and reached home at 7:30 pm.
Some Tips:
I’m sure that like me, a lot of people must be scared of driving in UP specially because of the bad roads that existed until sometime back. The new routes are well maintained and clean and a 500 km drive is very much possible.
* Delhi to Lucknow route can be done comfortably in 8-10 hr driving at a decent speed with 2 short breaks.
* Places to stop for a break/bite:
o McDonald’s near Mathura
o A1 Plaza in between Mathura and Agra
o A1 Plaza in between Kanpur and Lucknow
7.5 hours on a bike, and that too with rains, I would take that as something not common.
i need to leave for Lucknow on Saturday morning on my Bullet Thunderbird. Which route should i take?
My suggestions would be Delhi – Kanpur – Lucknow. Ensure that you read comments from Ratandeep, Rajiv and others for the right cut at Kanpur.
And when you make it, please come back and update here on the road condition and any other general update.
Thanks so much for the advice. I’ve got the right cut at Kanpur superscribed in my brain. Thanks a ton
Hi All,
I travelled from Gorakhpur to Delhi last week and this 900km journey on car could be broken in two segments.
1. Gorakhpur to Lucknow
2. Lucknow to Delhi
Gorakhpur to Lucknow road is under construction for 4-laning, hence there are lot of bad stretches and diversions. But the new 4-lane road (where-ever it existed) is absolutely treat. The new road is being built on international standards using the cement concrete in place of the age old coal-tars..Neverthless i completed by 280KMs in 6 hours and stayed back for the night in Gemini Continental Hotel in Lucknow itself. This Gorakhpur-Lucknow stretch should get completed in 2009..hopefully.
Lucknow to Delhi via Kanpur-Etawah-Agra was a cakewalk. I left Lucknow at around 11am and reached Delhi by 10pm with 2 stops of 45 mins in Etawah and Agra and 1 stop for 20 mins in Kanpur. The road is absolute beauty with usual deterrents in the form of wrong side cyclewallahs and LMVs all the way. The un-avoidable stretch is Firozabad and Agra where the highway cuts across the city traffic with no bypass and you have to deal with nagging traffic and then a small diversion at Tundla where the overbridge is under-construction. The other pain point was the non existence of any decent dhabas or restaurants between Kanpur to Agra..the A1 stops have been renamed (it seems Reliance has left this business :)) and hence we avoided it. Although found a decent dhaba immediately after Etawah fly-over owned by village sarpanch..very good food.
i thank all those people who contributed with the feedback on this Lucknow-Agra-Delhi road and made me change my decision from Lucknow-Bareilly-Delhi road. This journey was much more pleasing and non-intrusive for my car !
Thanks Umendra for your update about Gorakhpur-Lucknow and specially about the information of that Dhaba. Can you tell its name or some milestone around it? It will really help.
I am from Lucknow but not much aware about the latest developments there. Let me guess, If I am not wrong Gemini Continental Hotel is near Hazaratganj, just in front of ‘Ashok Vatika’ and ‘KD Singh Babu Stadium’.
Do share your review about the hotel with us.
Thanks!
That is a great update.
These opposite side vehicles need to be curtailed by the authorities. I hope that things will change once toll plaza etc start operating.
Gemini Continental is slowly turning out to be a preferred destination for business as well as pleasure travellers. It is a tough competition for Clarks.
Hi Aditya,
The dhaba is immediately on the left after the flyover bypassing Etawah town while coming from Kanpur. I really dont remember the name but it was a 2 storey colorful building.
You are right about Gemini Continental..its on Laxmi bai road near Hazratganj and opposite the stadium..it’s a decent hotel.
i am waiting for the Gorakhpur-Lucknow to stretch complete and then it will be a 14 hr drive from Gorakhpur to Delhi.
And once complete East-West is done then Gorakhpur-Darbhanga would be 6 hours and I can do Delhi-Gorakhpur-Darbhanga with a night-stop at Kushinagar :)
Fantastic read – I should say “Fantabulous”
My bro read this and suggested me to go through it – after having suggestions from many I was very confused about which way to choose – most of the guys told me to take Sitapur – Bareilly route – but after going through this – I got convinced. Later on confirmed from one of my friend who started at 6.30 am and reached at 3.00 pm at LKO
Will update you soon, about my trip
hey dear members,
i would request ur views / suggessations for a small trip (around 500 Km) from Meerut to lucknow…
there are three ways of going :-
(a) NH24 (Meerut-Hapur-Moradabad-Bareilly-Sitapur-Lucknow) – the shortest one.
(b) NH2 ( Meerut-Noida outer-Faridabad – Mathura – Agra – Kanpur – Lucknow) – The longest one.
(c) Mix ( Meerut – Bulandshahr – Aligarh – Agra or Mathura – NH2)
i will be greatful if someone can please suggest the best possible route in terms of road conditions, facilities(eating / halting / servicing) and less time consuming. as i will be driving for the first time for such a long dist and wanna cover it up in one day. i’ll be the only driver in my car.
Hi , i stay in NFC in delhi. so reaching the mathura rd was very easy and after that the double road did not end till lucknow.
i had left at 2am on the 29th of August 08 and returned on 2nd sept 08, with my wife & driver in my opel corsa.
the road is fantastic , i would suggest that you carry a flask of tea along(the route is great , so u may come across spots where u would like to stop & take a breather & of course have TEA !!)
the road from here to mathura ..agra…etawah…kanpur dehat… kanpur city…is great . kanpur to lucknow is bumpy for the first 20 kms, after that its fine.
Eating joints are readily available
Route has real less traffic
Safe for one & all
Road is Makkhan all the way. between agra & etawah ,one has to be careful of vehicles, cattle, tractor trolleys, etc coming from the wrong side + people crossing the road at the intersections in the road divider.
when one enters kanpur , there is a board that says go down from the rd , but the kanpur flyover is already complete. so pls do not follow the sign, just go on the flyover and enjoy the pleasure of by passing the kanpur city, when the flyover ends , take a u turn come to rama devi gol chakkar, take a right turn , and head towards lucknow.
rest if any one wants to ask anything specific , can ask me sinha_saurabh@yahoo.com
Thanks Saurabh,
can some one pl put some light on the rout Meerut – Bulandshahar – Aligarh – Agra…. how r the road n traffic conditions at this stretch and generally how much time does it take…. espically in the rains..like we have now in delhi and around?????
Really, I found all the post very good and it will really help who are going to drive between Delhi and Lucknow. I’m planning to go around Mid of October and this contents have really helped me a lot. Thanks to Aditya for starting this post and after that , a series of comments flooded on this web site. I thank to all for putting valauble information regarding Delhi-Lko trip. Once I come back, I will share my experiences.
Thanks A Ton to Everybody
Hi,
Can anybody plz tell me the location of CNG Gas stations on the way of Delhi-Mathura-Agra-Faridabad-kanpur-Lucknow?
If anybody can provide me, then,this information will help me a lot…
Thanks in Advance..
Hi
Let me congratulate the team at Ghumakker for a great initiative and all the members for their contributions.
I could connect straight away with the intent of your site – i take road trips as and when i can; and it always helps to get personal & genuine advice from fellow travellers.
My trip to lucknow thru NH24 (Sun 5th Oct 08) left me shocked. I had travelled on this road last year but the roads were much better then. the hapur-moradabad & sitapur- lucknow sections this time were bad esp the latter—- which is devastated after the monsoons. i took 12 hrs to reach lko!!!!
I am starting tom (Fri, 10 Oct) on my return journey with family which includes an aged mom and a 2 yr old kid.
Pl suggest which is a better route – NH2 or NH91 – esp after the rains?? what is the distance to delhi on each route?
Thanks in advance and Dussehra greetings
Thanks Satyadeep.
Lucknow – Kanpur – Eatwah – Agra (NH2) – Aligarh – Bulandsahar – Hapur would come out to be 530 – 550 KM odd. I can vouch for the road till Agra, beyond that I would assume that it may not be the best but I heard that its good-enough.
After Agra, you can choose to remain on NH2 and drive till Delhi. At Ashram Chowk in Delhi, turn right and then turn right again at ‘Nizamuddin Mode’, you would get on to NH24. The roads all through this is cream. But it would add at least 60 odd KM to your total count.
I would suggest that you be on NH2 till Agra and then go via Aligarh. If you start early enough you can reach Agra in 6 hours, leaving you with enough of Day light time to venture through Aligarh-Bulandsahar.
Apart from distance, the other downside of coming Via Delhi is that you would get into traffic and it would take a while to get out of Delhi.
Whatever route you take, please come back here and update on your experience.
Hey, I am planning to drive down to Kanpur from Gurgaon, kindly give me the direction (the major milestone) and also wether to take the NH2 or NH24.
Thanks,
Ram
Ram – Take NH2. Direction are very simple, just be on NH2. Probably you would need to take Faridabad-Gurgaon road to get on to NH2, after that just keep driving.
When you take the trip, please come back and update the road condition and your overall experience here.
Diwali time and did not got reservation done. So planning to drive to Lucknow from Delhi (Karol Bagh). Some suggested me to take Muradabad- Sitapur route as it is shorter. I am new to driving on highways kindly suggest… Delhi- Agra- Ethwah-Kanpur route will be better in terms of driving comfort and distance or the other one.
Kindly update soon as i have to leave coming saturday morning…
Hi Adarsh,
I suggest you NH-2 i.e. Delhi- Agra- Ethwah-Kanpur route which is better in terms of road conditions
yes it is not short and around 50km longer route than the other one but more peace of mind because of 4 lanes with divider throughout the route.
I am also leaving for LKO on Saturday from Noida on same route.
Do share your views here about the road after your trip and let other people take benefit of it. Thanks.
Happy Diwali!
I am going to Lucknow from Noida Sector-50 with family on 24th Oct(saturday) morning at 5:30AM. I plan to go via NH-91. I am planning to not over speed. Has anyone any experience via this route. Recently some people drove from Barielly to Lucknow and they reported the road condition is not good so I dnot plan via NH-24.
NH-2 is approximately 50 Kms longer if starting point is Noida. I want to know if NH-91 is safe and has good road conditions.
In above update I plan to travel on 25th Oct(saturday)
Aditya, Rohit I feel good as I am going to have some decent company(and decent traffic, going by the number of roadies planning ot leave tommorrow) as I am also planning to leave 25th morning via NH-2 the fourlaned great, from Inirapuram for LKO.
Except that I cancelled confirmed reservation in LKO mail for this one.
I am at 10371558, prefixing 98
I think the time has come to get those back-glass ghumakkar car screens so that when you find one, you know that its one of us.
Yes Nandan, That would be a good idea.
Now reporting from my yesterday’s drive, we started at 4:30am from Indirapuram, were at agra at 7:30. Stopped at a relative’s place by the highway itself and started off again at about 8:45. Did not have to encounter much traffic in Agra, though witnessed a pile up at the Yamuna Bridge, as a huge crowd had gathered on both the bridges to see a ghastly site of a few bodies on the bed of river below, as informed by a bystander.
At Tundla a bridge is being constructed so only one carriageways was available. At Ferozabad also traffic was challenging due to opposite side travel-a practice prevalent almost throughout which keeps you alert and awake on otherwise a challenge-free road.
The road between Sikandara(about 70km from Kanpur) and Kanpur has been rendered almost in its entirety single carriage as the delhi bound carriageway is under repair/hold in many stretches. In such situations only the toll tax pinches.
This is really a dangerous proposition that on a double carriage highway you are subject to be shocked by an oncoming vehicle from opposite direction.
And those bikers/cyclewallas are so careless while coming into the oncoming traffic in the fast lane(inner one), why can’t they just use the outermost lane, if they have to be lazy and rulebreakers.
And here comes the clincher-the Kanpur Bypass ‘flyway'(or is it Allahabad bypass?). About 25 stones ahead of Kanpur, there was signal for Lucknow bound vehicles to take the slip road on left and the Allahabad bound to go straight. We did the latter as per the advice of Ratandeep and remained anxious through the 30 km flight above Kanpur, though eventually we found the curves as seen in Google earth and the railway bridge before Ramadevi chowk and that is when we were reassured that what we had done was right and in a short distance we will get the exit from the flyway to come back to Ramadevi chowk, but, just that the end of the flyway was another five km from the Ramadevi turn. It was some feeling flying over the mad traffic of Kanpur at speeds of expressway and the toping was that we encountered zero vehilces in our side of the flyway except for a couple of broken down ones, the sight that reassured us that the flyway is after all in operation. If you are still wondering why there was no traffic on the flyway, let me tell that it has no exit or entry points in between its ends.
We were in Kanpur at about 1:30pm. We had stopped at a trucker dhaba for lunch just ahead of Auraiya.
We eventually reached LKO at about 4:30pm. I had put a MPS limit of 85kmph.
If any one has used the Lucknow slip road please update.
anyone Q251?
Hi,
I travelled to Lucknow from Noida via NH-24 on 25th, October . I left at 4:00 a.m. in the morning and managed to reached Lucknow (Gomti Nagar) at 8:15 p.m. only. The traffic and the roads were bad. I was stuck in traffic jams thrice which wasted almost 4 hrs.
The drive from Noida to Moradabad was good. However, things were bad from the Moradabad bypass onwards. Traffic jams stretching upto 10-12 kms delayed us and at times we managed to travel 5-8 kms in an hr.
The stretch from Sitapur was also not very good to drive due to the widening of roads.
I returned from Lucknow to Noida today (November 01, 2008) via the Kanpur-Agra route. I did not regret the decision to take this route even though it is longer than the NH-24 route. I left at 4:00 a.m. and reached Noida at 1:30 p.m.
As advised by people earlier, one should be careful of traffic coming from the opposite side. Throughout the journey, I noticed bikes, tractors, coming from the opposite side in the wrong lanes.
Apart from these problems, the route is excellent. I usually travel to Lucknow by train and this was the first time I travelled to Lucknow by road and I am seriously considering driving to Lucknow in future as I found this to be a good alternative.
How long is the drive from Lucknow to Makanpur. I have been told to take the “KANNAUJ high way. Before 15 Kms there is a way which is known as ‘AROL MAKANPUR’. AROL is the Railway station name and makanpur is 3 Kms inside AROL”
Hi,
After reading all 79 comments of frnds now I had made up my mind to travel to Lucknow from Vaishali (GZB) through NH-2. Thanks to aditya, nandan, ratandeep I am totally convinced of following this route. Earlier I was travelling through NH 24. I will be starting at 5.00 in morning on 26 Nov 2008 and hope to reach lucknow by 2 PM.
Can anybody tell me whether santro car is good for a ride. Is hiring a driver necessary.
This is not my first ride on highways. I had travelled many times from delhi to agra. But delhi to lucknow is first time. I had also travelled to delhi-ghaziabad-merrut-roorkee-rishikesh-hardwar-dehradoon-musoorie route by car.
Will share my experience on a different post.
Santro is a good car. All the best. Hope to hear back soon on your experience. Probably this group is responsible for increasing the road-traffic between Delhi-LKO. :)
Well I too had travelled through this route on 25 Oct /6th Nov and found good for travel.
All other same latest updates in this route
1. In Kanpur chakeri-bhawati bypass is operational so one can cross kanpur in just 15+10 minutes. Confirm its entry point from Ramadevi square while comming from kanpur to delhi.
2. Etawah bypass is operational so it also make journey time less.
3. Total route is now four lane hi speed type with five toll gates costing you 200 bugs but is worth paying if one can compare with situation earlier
“BEWARE OF OPPOSITE SIDE TRAFFIC COMMING IN WRONG LANE IT COULD BE . . .”
and be aware that you can get this type of traffic too. check the milestone.
..
Thanks karunesh for the latest update. I am more than happy to hear that Etawah and Kanpur bypass has opened.
Is there any good eating point between etawah and kanpur.
Also please tell me whether u drove yourself or hired a driver.
Is the journey tiring?
what should be the ideal speed limit.
I am planning to travel from indirapuram to kanpur on 22nd Nov and by looking at the comments it seems that it will not take more than 7-8 hr to reach there.
Will update you all about the current road condition when be back on 25th Nov
Well thanks for all the guys who wrote with inputs, my parents went recently from Noida-Lko via Agra KNP route and they reached in 9 hours flat. I would be going the same route end of this month.
Believe me Delhi – Lko via Bareilly Sucks !! I’ve taken that route and it’s painful.
vishal,
delhi lucknow via bareilly is primarily a Train Route …
But Agra kanpur is almost double lane ..as i had gone till ETAWAH fm Agra
amit,
between Agra and Etawah there is Green hut Shaped on your L.H.S …”Panchwati”on Agra–firozabad —-etawah Route f..the food is decent
…
Dear amit R
between Agra and Etawah there is Green hut Shaped on your L.H.S …”Panchwati”on Agra–firozabad —-etawah Route f..the food is decent
…
Thanks Deepak, for your informative comments.
Thanks to all the people who put there comments here and Spl. thanks to Aditya Chaturvedi for putting such an informative article. You know your article really convinced me that we can reach Lucknow via road.
So we took the trip to Lucknow via NH2 during diwali vacation started [Kalkaji] at 5.20AM and reached 2.15PM Lucknow [Gomti Nagar] with 45 min break in between. On returned we started around 5.00 AM and reached here at 3.00 PM with 2 hr breaks in between.
Thanks Ajay for your words.
I also thank you and every one who keep posting their recent experience as comments and encourage people to use this information.
i am planning to visit lucknow day after tommorow using nh2 after reading all comments… need to know if there is security concerns on this route… i would be starting day after tommorow early around 5am… let me know your exp… i hope there r none :)…
I had no problems regarding security on NH-2 during my 2 drives last year to LKO. Road is getting better as more of the construction work is almost complete.
I believe, if you are leaving early in the morning and reaching before dark there, should not be any problem.
Wishes you a Happy journey and do get back to us with updates.
Thanks Aditya … I started at 5:15 am on 25th Dec on my 5 months old wagon-r and we reached Kanpur at 11:30 am … there were no issues either it is road condition,comfort of highway driving or security. we crossed cities like never before. But the condition of road from kanpur to lucknow was no where as compared to nh2 … it took 2 hours to reach hazratganj as we left nh2 while entering kanpur . it was 50 km extra and around 200Rs toll but still i would prefer nh2 over nh91 and nh24. everything that was under construction as mentioned by others in this post earlier is now complete … i found only toll plazas that slowed down our avg speed. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYBODY TO GO BY NH2. enjoy safe driving.
Thanks Adil for your updates… These updates make this post really useful.
Thanks for your time.
i am planning to go kanpur by road, plz tell me that is there is any cng filling station on the way.

Dear frnds , i have been taking advantages of this site since september, but recently i bought my new and first car chevrolet UVA, great car, immediatly after first service done, left for jabalpur (MP) from ghaziabad, took map direction from http://www.live.com, approximately 850 km distance, ghaziabad-faridaba-agra-gwaliar- jhansi-sagar- jabalpur, exprce was so so, completed in 2 days, but back to ghaziabad i had completed whole journey in one day. well thats not enough, again after 10 days i decided to go my home town near sitapur (UP), so i took help of ghumakkar help, but it was again time to think before starting journey that which road should i follow, there r three ways to reach lucknow, kanpur, one is NH 24 (shortest distance for sitapur to ghaziabad), Nh 2 (best route and my recommendation to all people) and third one is via aligarh kannauge kanpur (worst route, never follow this route its my suggetion), so plz follow NH 2 even if u want to go sitapur, so happy journey and happy new year to all of u.
dilip
hi aditya thanx for the valuable suggestion.
Recently i heard that there is a lot of problems on the highway because of bad weather conditions. Is that true?, plz tell me.
Thanks Tridilip for your comment. Do let us know about your MP experiences in detail, do write a story for all ghumakkars. It will help us to plan our travel in MP :-)
Pulkit, recently weather is bad for driving. I have no specific information about NH-2 but in general, fog is present all around during the day and night so it is not advisable to go for drive because of visibility issue.
Dear Aditya i am not good in writing all strory but i will try my level best to describe all about.
Dear pulkit my suggetion just avoid night dive now days, i have suffered and met lot of problem due to fog. one week back only i decided to move sitapur n started my journey at 4 pm via NH 24 , after 6 pm my speed was 20 km per hour, u cant believe i was so lucky, two car met accident due to fog, even some where i dont remember where, truck suck on rail train and tain hit the tuck badly, even due to this i had wated 2 hrs, so to cover 450 km almost 24 hrs wasted, reached biswan (sitapur) at 1 pm. so plz avoid jouney now days.
happy new year to every one and happy driving
