Travel checklist completed till date - 02 Aug 2020

Well whats life without gratitude. Today we are writing this to give gratitude to the universe and share the experience with you.

1.Lucknow 
The best time to visit Lucknow is in spring and in Durga Pooja.

 The must-see places to see in Lucknow are
Bada Imambara and 2. Ambedkar Memorial Park
Both are extraordinary things to see, the magnificent architecture is amazing. There is minimal fess for entry



Other places to see are Rumi darbaza , Lucknow Zoo, and Ramkrishna Mandir

Must-try foods to eat
1. Pani Puri /Gold Gappe
2. Mutton Kebab
3. Biryani
4. Kulfi 

And you have to buy a Chikhen Cloth made saree/dhoti and keep it with you all times to avoid the harassment from every other vendor to buy chiken. Just kidding.

2. Tirupati 
Best time to visit in October when there is no Pooja.
Must see places
2.1 Tirupati Balaji Mandir
We had booked an online pass of 500 Rs Pass Online. It shows 300 but when you try to book it increases the pass.

You had to wait in the line for 2-3 hrs then finally got darshan at Arti time at 6 pm in the evening. 
Awesome spiritual experience and calm vibes over there.

2.2 Tirupati Zoo(Venkateshwara national park)
We went in late noon, however, it's a very big park. I suggest you go in the morning as it takes the whole day.
There are all kinds of animal you and its good for a walk.
Minimal entry fees over here also and nature is awesome.
