Distance

125 km

Travel Time

2.5 to 3 hours

Route

NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road)

125 km, 2.5–3 hours via NH-19 (GT Road) — the same corridor as the outbound Varanasi–Prayagraj route, reversed. Full trip from ₹4,800: our vehicles are based in Varanasi, so a pickup is billed like the round trip. Popular after a Triveni Sangam visit for pilgrims heading on to Kashi Vishwanath.

The Prayagraj to Varanasi road journey retraces the 125 km NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road) corridor used on the outbound trip, in reverse — typically 2.5–3 hours, passing Vindhyachal and Mirzapur. It is the natural next leg for pilgrims who complete a Triveni Sangam visit — the Ganga-Yamuna-Saraswati confluence — and continue on to Varanasi for Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the Ganga Aarti. Fares are per-km on the same fleet used on the outbound trip — Swift Dzire, Innova Crysta, tempo traveller, and Maharaja Urbania. The vehicle comes from Varanasi, so the fare covers the full loop; combined Prayagraj + Varanasi day itineraries are all available.

* Fares exclude driver allowance, tolls, parking, and 5% GST. Round-trip rates assume single-day return.

Drop only, or ending in another city? Our vehicles are based in Varanasi, so the driver comes back empty and a drop costs the same as the round trip. Staying longer or adding stops is billed on the full loop back to Varanasi at the vehicle's per-km rate, with a 250 km/day minimum, plus driver allowance. That's why most groups make it a 2–3 day circuit. See the circuits.
