Uttar Pradesh harbours a wealth of religious sites, of which Allahabad and Varanasi are the oldest and the most precious gems. Situated at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati—Allahabad also hosts the iconic Maha Kumbh Mela. Take a holy dip at Triveni Sangam and pay your respects at Hanumangarhi—the most popular temple of Lord Hanuman in North India. Next up, lose yourself in the winding streets, ancient temples, picturesque ghats, and sacred waters of bustling Varanasi. The Buddhist pilgrimage centre of Sarnath is also nearby and makes for a great excursion.
