Summary:"The road from the city of Lucknow, the capital of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh to Bahraich district was fairly treacherous until it was entirely repaved in 2015. The 80-mile journey which previously took up to 6 hours by bus had been reduced to 3 hours, by the time my visit to the district ended. Tucked about a hundred miles north from Lucknow, Bahraich resembled many other rural districts of the Gangetic plains. Home to some of the most fertile land in North India, drained by powerful streams flowing from the foothills of the Himalayas across the jungly Tarai, Bahraich district is part of the historic region of Awadh"-- Provided by publisher.
