Travel Tips for Prayagraj Travellers
- Check whether your ticket says Prayagraj Jn (PRYJ) or Prayagraj Chheoki (PCOI). They are different stations.
- Devotees often combine Pachmarhi's Shiva temples with Mahashivratri. Expect large crowds and book well ahead if you plan this.
- Do not litter or feed animals. Most of the sightseeing is inside protected forest.
