Prayagraj: The Sangam located in the city of faith Prayagraj provides employment to thousands of people directly and indirectly. Every day thousands of devotees take a dip in the holy Sangam to wash away the sins on their shoulders. In such a situation, most of the devotees coming here reach the main confluence of Ganga and Yamuna by riding a Nav.
To reach here, they either have to book a boat or have to go on a regular per person fare. If you are also visiting Prayagraj Sangam for the first time and want to take a dip in the Sangam while riding a boat, then know the rate of the boat running here, otherwise you may become a victim of the arbitrariness of the boatmen here.
This is how much the boat fare is
Although the pilgrims visiting Varanasi and Ayodhya are provided with the facility of boats in which they can sit and comfortably take a ride in the river, but at Prayagraj Sangam you will see boatmen rowing the boat with their hands, who work very hard to take you to Sangam. In such a situation, their fare is also different from that of the motherboard.
The distance from Kila Ghat to the main Sangam in Prayagraj is about one and a half kilometers. To reach here, the boatmen charge 60 rupees per person, which is fixed by the government. The special thing is that due to lack of information about this, the devotees coming here can also become victims of fraud. At the same time, the fare for booking a boat is 2000 rupees.
Don’t ride a boat without it
If you are coming to take a bath at Prayagraj Sangam and want to sit on a boat, then take full care of your safety before sitting. Here every sailor has a life jacket, which saves the person from drowning in the river. A life jacket can keep a person afloat for 24 hours.
Water police can impose fine
That is why whenever you are coming to Prayagraj, take a live jacket from the sailors while riding the boat. The special thing is that if you do not wear a live jacket, then you are fined by the water police.
