Prayagraj (Allahabad)

Prayagraj is a city that perfectly captures the soul of the Hindi heartland. It is a place of profound silence at the Sangam at dawn and high-pitched intellectual debates at the coffee houses of Civil Lines. Most travelers spend 2 days here, allowing for a holy dip at the confluence and a walk through the colonial-era university and the Nehru family legacy.

The city is a foodie's delight, especially for those who enjoy street food. You must try the 'Dum Aloo' and 'Kachori-Sabzi' at Netram Sweets and the famous local guava varieties in winter. For history lovers, the city is a living museum of the British Raj and the Mughal era. Whether you are witnessing the world's largest gathering during Kumbh or simply admiring the architecture of the University of Allahabad, Prayagraj offers a journey through the layers of Indian civilization.
