About Gaur
Gaur has been known by many names in the past - Gour, Guada and even Lakhnauti. The location has a rich history that dates back to when it was built in A.D. 1198. It’s an incredible place with countless ruins to explore, some of which still stand today. This includes an ancient mosque that was once used as a sacred place of worship for the people who lived here.
Once you disembark our luxurious cruise ship, we will lead you to the entrance gates of this once great city. Two stone pillars still mark the spot and will guide you to the place where the glorious palace once stood.
