About the trip
Prayagraj, formerly Allahabad, sits where the Ganga, the Yamuna and the unseen Saraswati meet at Triveni Sangam. Pilgrims come for a dip at the confluence, especially around the Magh Mela and Kumbh. The city also has colonial buildings and the family home of the Nehrus. The drive follows NH 19 west through Mirzapur district, a wide, well-kept highway.
What to see in Prayagraj
- Triveni Sangam boat ride
- Bade Hanuman Temple
- Allahabad Fort (outside view)
- Anand Bhavan
On the road
Follow NH 19 via Gopiganj and Handia; the highway is four-lane most of the way. Leave by 6 am to reach the Sangam in the calm morning hours.
