The essentials
Varanasi to Prayagraj by Taxi
Prayagraj, still called Allahabad by many, is about 130 km from Varanasi, and the drive takes roughly 2.5 to 3 hours each way. That makes it the easiest pilgrimage day trip from Varanasi: leave after breakfast, spend the middle of the day at the Sangam, and be back for the evening.
The Triveni Sangam, where the Ganga and Yamuna meet the mythical Saraswati, is the reason to go. A holy dip and the boat ride out to the confluence are the centre of the visit, and the stops in the city are spread out, so having a cab and a driver saves a great deal of time.
The fare for a sedan covers 10 hours, which is enough for the drive and a relaxed day. If you want to stay the night in Prayagraj, or continue to Ayodhya, tell us and we will plan it. Our Golden Triangle packages cover Varanasi, Prayagraj and Ayodhya together.

The Triveni Sangam
The confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati. Bring a change of clothes and a towel if you plan to bathe.
A boat to the confluence
The boat ride out to the Sangam is booked separately, and the fare for the cab does not include it. We can help you arrange it.
Lete Hanuman Mandir
A temple near the Sangam with a large reclining Hanuman idol, usually the first stop of the day.
Anand Bhavan and the Fort
Anand Bhavan is the Nehru family’s ancestral home, now a museum, and Allahabad Fort was built by Akbar in 1583. Public access to the fort is limited, so we check what is open on your date.
Kumbh and Magh Mela
The Magh Mela in January or February and the periodic Kumbh Mela bring very large crowds to the Sangam. Book well ahead and expect slower roads.
An easy day
At about 130 km, this is the drive that suits families with children or older travellers, who may find the longer routes tiring.
