Route
NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road)
125 km, 2.5–3 hours via NH-19 (GT Road) — the same corridor as the outbound Varanasi–Prayagraj route, reversed. Swift Dzire from ₹11/km, tempo traveller from ₹24/km. Popular after a Triveni Sangam visit for pilgrims heading on to Kashi Vishwanath.
The Prayagraj to Varanasi road journey retraces the 125 km NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road) corridor used on the outbound trip, in reverse — typically 2.5–3 hours, passing Vindhyachal and Mirzapur. It is the natural next leg for pilgrims who complete a Triveni Sangam visit — the Ganga-Yamuna-Saraswati confluence — and continue on to Varanasi for Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the Ganga Aarti. Fares are per-km on the same fleet used on the outbound trip — Swift Dzire, Innova Crysta, tempo traveller, and Maharaja Urbania. One-way, round-trip, and combined Prayagraj + Varanasi day itineraries are all available.
