Prayagraj: In nine years, UP’s rich religious and cultural legacy has grown from a matter of faith and tourism into a strong base for economic development. The state has created a new model by blending pilgrimage, tourism and tradition, becoming a global hub for spiritual tourism. The Yogi govt has revived Prayagraj’s sacred sites linked to Sangam. To take this forward, a ‘Dharm Yatra’ is being launched to connect Prayagraj to a larger pilgrimage circuit.DP Singh, Chief Manager at UPSTDC (Uttar Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation), said that the tour will commence from Prayagraj in December. It will encompass a circuit connecting Prayagraj with Ayodhya, Kashi (Varanasi), Vindhyachal and Chitrakoot, covering both major landmarks within these cities and significant sites in their surrounding areas.For a comfortable trip, 15-seater luxury AC mini-buses have been arranged. Singh said the package covers guided visits to religious sites, worship facilities and accommodation and meal arrangements. This initiative will offer great convenience to visitors arriving from various parts of the country, including South India. The itinerary includes visits to Sangam, Anand Bhawan and Azad Park in Prayagraj, Kamadgiri mountain in Chitrakoot, Maa Vindhyavasini Teerth Kshetra in Mirzapur, Kashi Vishwanath corridor in Kashi and the Shri Ram and Hanuman Garhi temples in Ayodhya, along with other notable sites in the vicinity of these locations.In 2025, over 68 crore visitors travelled to the Prayagraj district. The arrival of over 21 crore devotees for the grand Magh Mela-2026 further underscores the growth of tourism in the region. This momentum will be further bolstered by ‘Dharm Yatra’ (religious pilgrimage tour), which commences in December.
