Best Tourist Places in Prayagraj<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Glancing at the glorious history of Allahabad, the city was the hub of political activities in pre-independence era<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>During this time it rose to prominence as an important center for the freedom movement. Post-independence had the honour of giving the nation highest number of Prime Ministers (Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Gulzarilal Nanda to name a few)\u00a0<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>Deeply<\/span><\/span> embedded in religion, spirituality and history, Allahabad or present day Prayagraj is the site of the holy Sangam \u2013 the meeting point of the river Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
From its ancient name of Prayag to Allahabad and recently\u00a0 Prayagraj, the place has seen positive changes as well lately<\/span><\/span>. Though for me it remains Allahabad – a city where I belong to and trace back my roots to.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
So, what are the best tourist places in Prayagraj, let\u2019s find out from this blog:<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n

Triveni Sangam –\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span>is the confluence of three rivers and is an important spiritual spot of India. A country where rivers are <\/span>highly<\/span> revered<\/span>. Triveni Sangam rules the roost of being the top tourist site of Allahabad. You can feel the spiritual vibe of Sangam as you get onto a boat to reach it midstream.\u00a0 A divine atmosphere pervades here, that is inexplicable. You have to experience it to know. You\u2019re tempted to take a dip in the sacred waters, which as per belief<\/span>\u00a0is highly<\/span> auspicious.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Prayagraj has the privilege of holding the largest religious congregation the `Kumbh mela\u2019 on the banks of the river Ganges. Organised every year between January to March<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>Saints, sadhus and religious groups, come together, as do lakhs of people from all walks of life to be a part of this largest spiritual gathering on earth<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>For tourist who wish to have a more immersive experience and to soak in the spirituality, can even reserve luxury tents for a stay<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Allahabad Fort – as you sail along the river, you\u2019ll have eye catching views of the magnificent fort.\u00a0 T<\/span>he fort is under the control of the army, therefore, only one part of this historical site is accessible to the public. A temple and an immortal tree significant in Hindu mythology \u2013 the Akshay vat, is what you\u2019ll find inside. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There’s a famous Hanuman temple nearby, having the deity in a reclining position, is worth a visit.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Best<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Some other facts about Allahabad – the Allahabad University counted as one of the top educational institutions in the country has been the alma mater of well-known personalities of the country<\/span><\/span>. The list boasts of poets, writers, scholars, academicians, and politicians. The institution has an impressive structure, with separate arts and science faculties.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If you browse the internet for tourist spots in Allahabad, you\u2019re sure to find the names of Alfred Park and museum on the list<\/span><\/span>. Alfred Park also known as Azad Park, has association with our freedom movement. Next to this is the Allahabad Museum for those interested in history. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Apart from sightseeing, for all sorts of shopping and gastronomical experiences M.G. marg<\/span><\/span>\u00a0is the place to go to<\/span><\/span>. It is popularly<\/span> known as Civil Lines. <\/span>This is the upscale shopping arena of Allahabad, where you will get a range of dining options to choose from.

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Though Allahabad being a less popular tourist destination of Uttar Pradesh or <\/span><\/span>perhaps<\/span><\/span> is not much in the limelight compared to Varanasi, Agra or Lucknow, yet it\u2019s worth a visit<\/span><\/span>. And since Varanasi is <\/span>just<\/span><\/span> 120 kms away, it’s worthwhile\u00a0 to plan a combined trip to these two holy cities.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
