Fares are the full return journey with a chauffeur, from the published round-trip rate card. Fuel, the driver and GST are included; tolls, parking, state permits and the driver's night allowance are charged at actuals.

Planning a weekend out of Prayagraj

Prayagraj sits at the confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna, and for weekends it is the best-placed city in eastern Uttar Pradesh — Varanasi, Ayodhya, Lucknow and Chitrakoot are all within four and a half hours, in four different directions.

That spread is unusual. Most cities on this list have one good road; Prayagraj has four, and they lead to four genuinely different kinds of trip — a riverfront city, a temple town, a colonial-Nawabi capital and a forested pilgrimage valley.

Return fares come from the published round-trip rate card rather than being quoted by hand.

The Vindhyavasini temple at Vindhyachal, one of the Shakti Peethas, the Chunar fort above the Ganga on the way, and the carpet-weaving workshops Mirzapur is known for.

How the weekend runs

Two hours down the Ganga. Chunar fort in the afternoon on the way out, the temple in the evening and again early — it is busiest in the middle of the day — and the weavers on Sunday morning.

The ghats from the water at first light, the evening aarti at Dashashwamedh, Sarnath eight kilometres out where the Buddha first taught, and the lanes of the old city behind the river.

How the weekend runs

Three hours east. The reason to stay the night is the boat at dawn — the ghats from the river as the light comes up is the thing people remember, and it is not available to a day visitor. Aarti on Saturday evening, boat on Sunday morning.

Ramghat on the Mandakini, Kamadgiri hill which pilgrims circle on foot, the Gupt Godavari caves with a stream running through them, and Hanuman Dhara above the valley.

How the weekend runs

Three and a half hours south-west into the Vindhyan hills. Quieter than anywhere else on this list. Ramghat for the evening lamps, the Kamadgiri circuit early on Sunday when it is cool, and the caves after.

The Ram temple complex, Hanuman Garhi above the town, the Saryu ghats for the evening aarti, and Nandigram and Bharatkund on the edges for the quieter end of the story.

How the weekend runs

Four hours north-west. Arrive Saturday afternoon, the ghats at dusk, and the temple complex at opening on Sunday — it is substantially less crowded in the first hour than at any other time of day.

The Bara Imambara and its labyrinth, the Residency ruins left as they were after 1857, Chota Imambara, and the Awadhi food in Chowk and Aminabad which is half the reason to come.

How the weekend runs

Four and a half hours. A city weekend rather than a sight — the Imambaras and the Residency on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, and two long meals in between, which is the correct way to spend a night in Lucknow.
