Why Travellers Book Varanasi to Prayagraj
Most travellers go for a Triveni Sangam snan — demand peaks during Magh Mela (Jan–Feb) and Kumbh, when the goal is to reach Sangam around sunrise and return before the afternoon rush. Off-season, families come for Anand Bhavan, Allahabad Fort and a Sangam boat ride.
Planning tip: For a sunrise snan, leave Varanasi roughly 3–3.5 hours before Prayagraj sunrise (about 2:30–3:00 am when sunrise is near 6:00), allowing for traffic and parking.
