Many people travel from Chandigarh to Prayagraj for religious reasons, especially to visit the Triveni Sangam. Prayagraj offers a mix of historical sites and spiritual experiences, with a slower pace of life compared to Chandigarh.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Prayagraj is during the winter months, from October to March. The weather is pleasant, and this is also the time of the Magh Mela, an annual Hindu festival held at the Sangam.

Getting from the airport to Prayagraj

Prayagraj Airport (IXD) is about 12 km from the city centre. Taxis are readily available outside the airport, costing around ₹300-₹400. Auto-rickshaws are a cheaper option but require bargaining.

Things to do in Prayagraj

Visit Triveni Sangam: Witness the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers. Explore Allahabad Fort: A historic fort built by Emperor Akbar. Visit Anand Bhavan: The ancestral home of the Nehru-Gandhi family, now a museum. Attend the Kumbh Mela: A major Hindu pilgrimage and festival held every 12 years.

Food to try

Try the local 'Allahabadi Biryani,' known for its unique flavor. 'Imarti' is a popular sweet dish, especially during festivals. Lassi is widely available and provides relief from the heat.

Local tips
