Package holiday to Prayagraj

Prayagraj — formerly Allahabad — is one of the holiest cities in Hinduism and the place where three of India's most sacred rivers converge: the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical, invisible Saraswati. This confluence — the Triveni Sangam — makes Prayagraj the spiritual epicenter of India.

Every 12 years, the Kumbh Mela takes place here — the largest religious festival in human history, attracting over 100 million pilgrims who come to bathe in the Sangam and wash away their sins. The next Maha Kumbh Mela will be held in 2025, transforming the city into a temporary metropolis of tents.

The Allahabad Fort — an imposing Mughal fort from the 16th century built by Emperor Akbar — overlooks the confluence of the rivers. The Akshayavat — a sacred, allegedly immortal Banyan tree in the fort — has been a pilgrimage site for thousands of years.

The Anand Bhawan — the former residence of the Nehru family — is now a museum showcasing the history of the Indian independence movement. Jawaharlal Nehru and his daughter Indira Gandhi grew up here. The city has a vibrant student atmosphere thanks to the historic University of Allahabad.

Prayagraj particularly impresses with fascinating culture. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
