Prayagraj’s stay geography is simple: Civil Lines is the default (widest inventory, dining, transport), the Sangam side puts you at the river, and during the Magh Mela the UPSTDC tent colony puts you on the riverbed itself. Prices below are what Booking.com displayed on 01 October 2026 (converted from USD listings) and will multiply across the Mela window. Checked 01 October 2026.

The Mela rule
Across the Magh Mela window (reported 14 Jan–6 Mar 2027), Civil Lines sells out around each snan day and rates multiply. Book city hotels weeks ahead per snan day, or go tent-side on the riverbed. The Mela guide holds the calendar.
