We left our hotel at 6am so we could be there for sunrise. We were the only non-Indians so it was even more special. Our driver negotiated 1000 for our private boat. Our boat rowers were 2 young guys in mid 20’s. It was such fun to experience it with them. As they rowed us toward the fort they told us about the history and what it is like when the Kumba Mela occurs. As they rowed us towards the confluence we were going right into the sunrise -bright orange ball in the sky. We could hear the chanting from the temple on the other side of the river. There was a definite difference between the Yamuna and the Ganges-Yamuna was gentle floating and as soon as we crossed over into the Gagnes you felt a difference in the movement of the boat. It was wonderful to watch people bathing and singing. This was full on India in all her glory. I absolutely loved this outing.

Great sacred place of religion. Also enjoyed full beauty. Taken boat along Jamunaji from Akbar fort end. Covered by foot also along the Gangaji dropping at Sastri Bridge. Planning MahaKumbha 2025 January.

Visited Sangam on 17th Feb. Since the annual kumbmela is celebrated between makarsankaranthi and Mahasivarathri huge croud visited and we had to take a boat to go to reache actual sangam around 4 KM from the normal place where we could find boats for a cheaper rate. After reaching the exact location ie where the yamuna, ganges and the invisible saraswathi confluence there were thousands of boats and the platform on which people perform rituals for their forefathers was not visible atall.Lot of migratory seagulls from Australia( I was told by my boatman) were flying near the boats. The boat ride took about 3 to 4 hours. As there was mild breeze, we actually enjoyed the boat ride. If people want to visit with out getting into too much croud they should visit before makar sankarnthi or after Maha Sivarathri.

Prayagraj Sangam, situated at the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers, is a divine sanctuary exuding tranquility and spirituality. The site attracts pilgrims from around the world, drawn by its sacred waters and the profound sense of devotion that permeates the air. The Kumbh Mela, held here every twelve years, is a testament to its significance, drawing millions seeking spiritual purification. Beyond its religious importance, Prayagraj Sangam showcases India's rich cultural heritage through its temples and ashrams. My visit was deeply transformative, offering a profound connection to the divine and a glimpse into the essence of faith. Whether you seek spiritual enlightenment or cultural immersion, Prayagraj Sangam promises an unforgettable experience.
