  The other option will be to fly to Varanasi and drive to Prayagraj. The drive takes about three hours.

By train

  Prayagraj is well connected by trains to all the major cities in India. . Please note that you need to arrive at Prayagraj Junction (PRYJ). For trains that do not stop at the Prayagraj Junction station (PRYJ), you may have to alight at Cheoki, Prayagraj City Station (PRRB) (also called Rambagh), Prayag Junction. These latter ones are not well-connected to other parts of the city. Cheoki is significantly outside the city. For these stations, trying to rent a vehicle yourself for getting to HRI is strongly discouraged.
