Itinerary

Allahabad Fort

The massive fort built by Emperor Akbar in 1583 A.D., the fort stands on the bank of the Yamuna near the confluence site. In its prime, the fort was unrivalled for its design, construction and craftsmanship. This huge, majestic fort has three magnificent galleries flanked by high towers. At present, the fort is used by the Indian Army and only a limited area is open to visitors. The magnificent outer wall is intact and rises above the water’s edge. Visitors are allowed to see the Ashokan Pillar and Saraswati Kup ( Koop), a well, said to be the source of the Saraswati River, and Jodhabai Palace. The Patalpuri temple is also here. So is the much revered Akshaya Vat or the immortal Banyan tree.

Anand Bhavan

Visit history at Anand Bhawan, the erstwhile ancestral home of the Nehru family. Today it has been turned into a fine museum. Here, many momentous decisions, events, related to the freedom struggle took place. The main building houses a museum which displays the memorabilia of the Nehru family.

Triveni Sangam Prayagraj

At the point of Sangam where the mighty Ganges meets the Yamuna, pandas (priests) perch on small platforms to perform puja (pray) and assist the devout in their ritual ablutions in the holy waters. The sacred Sangam is the confluence of three of the holiest rivers in Hindu mythology – Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati. At the Sangam, the waters of the Ganges and the Yamuna can be distinctly seen to merge into one. It is during the Kumbh/Ardh Kumbh that the Sangam truly comes alive attracting the largest gathering in the world of the devout from all across the country and the world.
