The journey from the sacred confluence of the Ganges and the Yamuna at Prayagraj to India's capital runs across the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Delhi is 582 km from Prayagraj.[1] Prayagraj is a quiet pilgrimage town, while Delhi is a metropolis where Mughal ruins stand beside glass towers, so the trip feels like a jump between two worlds.

Prayagraj to Delhi by Train

Prayagraj is the headquarters of the North Central Railway zone and has eight railway stations, with links to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and other major cities.[1] Daytime chair-car trains get you to Delhi quickly, and overnight sleepers save a hotel night and put you in Delhi in the morning. Look up the timetable and the classes on IRCTC and book early, because the AC classes sell out weeks ahead. When you book, check whether your train ends at New Delhi, Old Delhi or Anand Vihar, so that you can plan the last stretch.
