This itinerary is designed specifically for exploring the Triveni Sangam and Akhada areas on the Jhusi side. It does not cover Arail, other parts of Prayagraj, or distant Kumbh Mela sectors. It's ideal for visitors primarily focused on experiencing the Sangam's spiritual heart and the Akhadas' traditional practices.
