Getting to Allahabad : » By Air -
There are not any direct flights to Allahabad. Some airlines such as Air Sahara and Kingfisher have hopping flights from Delhi, but these are few and far between. The nearest better-connected airport is Varanasi, 120 kms away (2.5 hours by road). But is is not a very good road. Take this route only if you are planning to visit Varanasi as well.
» By Rail - Allahabad is situated on the trunk train route from New Delhi to Kolkata and from Mumbai to Kolkata albeit a small diversion, so it is well-connected by trains. Imprtant trains touching the city are Kolkata Rajdhani express, Prayagraj express and Mumbai Howrah mail.
» By Road - Allahabad is on NH2 and NH27 and is, therefore, well connected by road. The road conditions are not very good and so taking th road route is not recommended. Several buses ply to and from nearby cities and towns.
