Water sports, events & mega renovations in store for Lucknow's Gomti Riverfront

Here's what you need to know about the laud-worthy move of turning the Gomti Riverfront into a tourist hotspot

One of the best places in Lucknow to enjoy a calm and serene evening is the Gomti riverfront. The riverfront sees a large footfall everyday and is a preferred spot for family picnics and health enthusiasts who need a quiet place for a long walk. This February, the people of Lucknow saw Gomti Riverfront utilised to its full potential when a horde of demonstrations and exercises happened here during the Defence Expo 2020.

After the expo, civic authorities in Lucknow have decided to renovate the Gomti Riverfront and turn it into an epic hangout spot. From water sports and cultural events to water shows, a slew of new activities are set to make the riverfront a tourist hotspot too.

Lucknow will soon be privy to evenings full of scintillating activities, water sports and cultural events at the riverfront, and will be flocked not just by localites but tourists too.

According to a recent report by TOI, Gomti Riverfront in Lucknow will soon undergo a major transformation that will make it a hub of tourist and cultural activity. The civic authorities plan to keep the river clean, maintain the water level and ensure that the riverfront is always clean, lush and well groomed. The civic bodies also plan to introduce water sports such as water scooter, water jets and sailing boats at the riverfront.

The idea is to turn the 4 kms stretch of Gomti Riverfront from Hanuman Setu to La Martiniere College, into a bustling centre of activity, not just for the residents but for anyone who chooses to visit the city. Cultural events and shows will also take place here during evenings making it one of the coolest and most sought after hangout spots in the city.

The initiative to turn Gomti Riverfront into a tourist hotspot is laud worthy. This will ensure that the river Gomti is kept clean and the water-sports and shows will give people something new to be happy about.
