About this route
Prayagraj, historically Allahabad, is the seat of the Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna and the unseen Saraswati meet. Boat rides to the Sangam, Akshayavat at the Patalpuri temple, Anand Bhavan and the Khusrau Bagh are the typical stops.
By road it's a comfortable 3 to 3.5 hour drive each way. Many visitors do this as a single long day; others prefer an overnight to slow down at the Sangam and visit Bharadwaj Ashram or the museum.
Planning notes
- 01Leave early, around 6 am for a same-day round trip, so you have unhurried time at the Sangam.
- 02Boat rides at the Sangam are arranged on the riverbank. The driver helps you find a fair-priced boatman.
- 03Pick SUV/MUV if you have elderly travellers; the 3-hour stretch is more comfortable.
- 04During Magh Mela and Kumbh, traffic and timing change significantly. Please ask when planning.
