Route

NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road)

125 km, 3 hours via NH-19 (GT Road). Triveni Sangam confluence, Akshayavat, Bade Hanuman, Anand Bhawan. Round trip Innova from ₹6,500.

The Varanasi to Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) route is the shortest of the major pilgrim corridors — 125 km via NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road), typically 2.5–3 hours. The road is well-maintained four-lane highway and passes Mirzapur — known for Vindhyachal Devi temple (a popular detour). Most pilgrim trips combine Prayagraj's Triveni Sangam (Ganga-Yamuna-Saraswati confluence) with a tarpan ritual or asthi-visarjan; we coordinate the Tirth-Purohit and the boat in advance. During Kumbh Mela (next Maha Kumbh 2037, smaller Magh Mela annually in January-February), fares and waiting times go up — book 8+ weeks ahead.

Drop only, or ending in another city? Our vehicles are based in Varanasi, so the driver comes back empty and a drop costs the same as the round trip. Staying longer or adding stops is billed on the full loop back to Varanasi at the vehicle's per-km rate, with a 250 km/day minimum, plus driver allowance. That's why most groups make it a 2–3 day circuit. See the circuits.
