Varanasi to Prayagraj cab
Round trip or one way · about 120 km · 2.5 to 3 hours by road · sedan ₹11/km on the HireCab Varanasi rate card
A Varanasi to Prayagraj cab takes your family from Kashi to the Triveni Sangam, where the Ganga, the Yamuna and the unseen Saraswati meet. Pilgrims make this trip for a holy dip at the Sangam, for the Magh Mela, for pind daan and other rituals, and to visit the Bade Hanuman temple and Anand Bhavan. We pick you up at your hotel, a ghat, Varanasi Junction or Varanasi airport, and one clean car with one respectful driver stays with you all day.
Elders don't have to struggle with crowded buses or trains, and you can carry puja items, a change of clothes and food for the day in the car. The driver waits while you take your dip and finish your rituals, then drives you to the next temple or straight back to Varanasi. Many people still search for a Varanasi to Allahabad cab or a Varanasi to Allahabad taxi. It is the same trip, because Allahabad was renamed Prayagraj in 2018.

Varanasi to Prayagraj One Way Cab
Going on to Prayagraj Junction, Prayagraj airport or a hotel near the Mela area? Book a one-way Varanasi to Prayagraj cab and we drop you at your door. Tell us it is a one-way drop when you book and we confirm the fare for the drop before you travel.
Varanasi to Prayagraj Distance by Road
The Varanasi to Prayagraj distance is about 120 km by NH 19 (the old Grand Trunk Road) through Gopiganj in Bhadohi district and Handia, crossing the Ganga into Prayagraj. The drive takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. During the Magh Mela and on the big snan days, traffic and police diversions near the Mela area can add a lot of time, so we plan the pickup time with you.
- Best time to leave Varanasi - 5 to 6 am, to reach the Sangam for an early-morning dip.
- Boat to the Sangam point - the car parks near the ghats and you take a boat out to the confluence. The boat fare is paid to the boatman directly.
- Vindhyachal on the way - Maa Vindhyavasini temple can be added by going via Mirzapur. It adds distance and time, so tell us when you book.
Varanasi to Prayagraj by Cab, Bus or Train?
Trains and UPSRTC buses run between Varanasi and Prayagraj, but you still need autos at both ends, and on Mela days the stations and bus stands are very crowded. With a Varanasi to Prayagraj taxi your family leaves from the hotel, keeps the luggage and puja items in the car, and is dropped close to the ghat. It is the easiest way to do the trip in one day with elders or children.
