Day 1: Dive Into Spirituality and Heritage
 

Start yourAllahabad itinerary by visiting the Triveni Sangam, one of the holiest sites in India, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers meet. This is where devotees come for a dip, believed to cleanse their souls. After experiencing the Sangam, head to Allahabad Fort. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1583, this fort stands as a testament to Mughal architecture. Although much of it is now occupied by the Indian Army, visitors can still explore the Patalpuri Temple and the mysterious Ashoka Pillar inside the fort.

Close by, you’ll find Anand Bhavan, the ancestral home of the Nehru family. The museum provides a fascinating insight into India’s freedom struggle. It's a must-visit for history enthusiasts as it holds significant importance in the country’s political past.

Day 2: Colonial Charm and Cultural Tours
 

Begin day two of your trip by visiting All Saints Cathedral, also known as Patthar Girja. This church, built in the 19th century, is an architectural marvel and is often referred to as the “Taj Mahal of the East”. Next, visit Khusro Bagh, a Mughal-era garden that houses the tomb of Prince Khusro, the eldest son of Emperor Jahangir. The garden is a quiet, peaceful place, perfect for an afternoon stroll while admiring the impressive Mughal architecture.

A trip to Prayagraj would not be complete without paying homage at the Allahabad Museum. It offers a vast collection of artefacts, sculptures and art, covering everything from prehistoric times to the modern era. By evening, take a walk around Chandrasekhar Azad Park, where you can unwind amidst nature or relive the history of the famous freedom fighter after whom the park is named.

Day 3: Explore Temples and the Local Markets
 

End your Prayagraj itinerary by immersing yourself in the city's spiritual and shopping scene. Start your morning with a visit to Mankameshwar Temple, one of the city’s oldest shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. For those keen on exploring more spiritual experiences, the Hanuman Mandir near the Sangam presents something unique. The deity of Lord Hanuman is depicted here in a reclining posture. According to local legend, during the monsoon season, the temple is submerged by the rising waters of the Ganges, reappearing only after the floods subside.

If you're a fan of shopping, a trip to Chowk is a must. This bustling market is packed with local handicrafts, unique souvenirs, and mouth-watering street food, providing a lively experience for visitors. Whether you're in search of intricately woven saris or handcrafted jewellery, Chowk is the ideal place to explore.
