Prayagraj Junction to Triveni Sangam Taxi Fare: Distance, Time, and Best Drop

District Prayagraj's Sangam page places Allahabad Railway Junction roughly 4 km from Sangam. In real road use, travelers often experience something like 6 km or more depending on the exact gate, drop point, and traffic control.

That is why the station transfer needs a range, not one rigid number.

Why this short route still causes problems

Short distance creates false confidence. Families assume they can decide everything live after getting off the train, then lose time at the station exit, luggage point, or wrong river approach.

Quick distance, time, and fare snapshot

Sedan one-way fare	INR 250 to INR 500

That matters if the family is still deciding which rail arrival point is easiest.

If you are going straight for Sangam

Specify:

Share the hotel name and area, not just "Civil Lines."

Do not go straight to Sangam unless:

the train timing is stable
luggage is minimal
the family already knows whether it wants a boat or a simpler ghat dip
