Up NH 30
From Rae Bareli, NH 30 runs north-west through Bachhrawan and Mohanlalganj to Lucknow's south-eastern edge near Telibagh and the SGPGI medical institute. It's a four-lane road with buses and trucks, and the drive is steady until the city's traffic begins.
Leaving Rae Bareli
Campus and township housing needs a vacating notice, an inspection and a gate pass for the truck. Old-town homes may need a carry. Start in the morning.
Where in Lucknow
From the south-east, Telibagh, Vrindavan Yojana, Raebareli Road and SGPGI are reached first. Gomti Nagar and Sushant Golf City are close; Aliganj, Indira Nagar and the old city are further through traffic. Give the exact address and the society's name.
Lucknow societies
Newer societies in Lucknow want the move registered, a gate pass and a booked lift. Our guide to society NOCs and lift bookings has a checklist.
Why people make this move
The capital's offices, hospitals, universities and jobs draw many Rae Bareli families, and doctors and staff move between the two cities' institutes. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Weather
May and June are very hot, and December and January bring fog. February to March and October usually suit this route best.
Lucknow's busy calendar
Muharram processions in Lucknow's old city, Eid, Diwali and the Lucknow Mahotsav in winter all bring traffic restrictions. Moves to the south-east of the city, near Raebareli Road, are less affected, but check the dates.
From Rae Bareli to Lucknow's colleges
Lucknow University, the medical and law universities and the coaching centres in Kapoorthala and Aliganj draw many Rae Bareli students. A hostel or PG room usually needs a few-items move.
Packing institute housing
Campus quarters in Rae Bareli often come partly furnished, so check which furniture belongs to the institute before packing. Ask the crew to label your own pieces clearly so nothing gets left behind or taken by mistake.
Bachhrawan
Some moves on this route end in Bachhrawan or Mohanlalganj. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Two-wheelers
A scooter or motorcycle can usually travel in the same truck if it is wrapped, photographed and listed separately. Our bike transport service page explains the options.
Medical moves
Families sometimes move to Lucknow to be near a hospital for long treatment. If someone is unwell, tell your mover so they can plan a gentle pace, and keep medicines and records with you.
First week in Lucknow
Lucknow's newer societies usually have their own water tank and power backup, and the office will register you as a resident. Ask about both, and book internet once you have the flat number. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the official records to update.
Mohanlalganj
Mohanlalganj, at Lucknow's southern edge, has new colonies and townships. Some moves end there; give the exact address and society name.
SGPGI and the hospitals
The SGPGI medical institute and nearby hospitals are on this side of Lucknow, and many doctors and staff live in the colonies around them.
