Dehradun to Devprayag Taxi Service
Quick answer: Devprayag is about 111 km from Dehradun and takes 3 to 3.5 hours via Rishikesh. It is the confluence where the Alaknanda and the Bhagirathi meet and become the Ganga — the first of the Panch Prayag. Fares depend on the vehicle and whether you need a one-way drop or a round trip — the table below is live from our rate desk. Call 7830211223 to confirm.
What this drive is actually like
Devprayag is a half-day trip that most people book as a round trip with a two or three hour wait, not a drop. The sangam, the Raghunath temple and the hanging bridge take about that long, and there is very little reason to stay overnight. We price it as a wait-and-return rather than pretending it needs a full day.
The route
- Dehradun, Rishikesh
- Then the Badrinath highway along the Ganga
- Devprayag — about 111 km
- Hill road from Rishikesh onwards
At the sangam
- Alaknanda and Bhagirathi confluence
- Raghunath temple, one of the 108 Divya Desams
- The hanging bridge over the confluence
- Bathing ghats at the meeting point
Combine it with
- Rishikesh — on the way, 40 km back
- Srinagar Garhwal — about 50 km on
- Rudraprayag — about 70 km on
- A Badrinath leg, if you are continuing
Practical notes
- Parking is limited near the sangam
- The walk down to the ghat is steep
- Best light for photographs is morning
- Two to three hours is enough on site
Timing and season
Good most of the year. The sangam is at its most striking after the monsoon, in September and October, when the two rivers run visibly different colours. Monsoon itself brings landslide risk on the Rishikesh to Devprayag stretch. Winter is clear, cold and quiet.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Devprayag from Dehradun?
About 111 km, and 3 to 3.5 hours by road via Rishikesh. The Rishikesh to Devprayag section is hill road along the Ganga, so the drive is slower than the plains distance suggests.
Is Devprayag a day trip from Dehradun?
Yes, comfortably. Most people book it as a round trip with a two to three hour wait at the sangam. Leaving Dehradun at 7 am gets you back by early evening.
What is special about Devprayag?
It is where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi merge and the river becomes the Ganga. It is the first of the Panch Prayag, and the Raghunath temple above the confluence is one of the 108 Divya Desams.
Can we stop at Devprayag on the way to Badrinath?
Yes, and most Char Dham itineraries do. It sits directly on the Badrinath highway, so it costs you a stop rather than a detour.

Getting from Dehradun to Devprayag: taxi, bus or train
An honest look at the alternatives, because the right answer is not always a taxi.
| Option | Time | Door to door | Luggage | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private taxi | the drive time on this page, leaving when you choose | Yes | Whatever fits the car | Families, groups, luggage, odd hours, and anyone who wants to stop on the way |
| Bus | GMOU and UTC buses run from Rishikesh in daylight hours only, with roof-rack luggage and fixed stops. Check the current timetable. | |||
| Train | Nearest railhead is Rishikesh (Yog Nagari) or Haridwar. No train goes further into the Garhwal hills; from the station it is still a full day by road. | |||
On hill routes the taxi's real advantage is control: you decide the start time, the stops and the pace, and the same driver is there for the return.
Which car to book for Dehradun to Devprayag
Count the suitcases before you count the people — luggage decides the car more often than passengers do.
| Car | Best for | Our take on this route |
|---|---|---|
| Swift Dzire / sedan | Up to 3 adults, light bags | Fine on tarmac hill roads; low on ground clearance for the last rough kilometres and tight on luggage for a multi-day trip. |
| Maruti Ertiga | Family of 4–5 | The usual pick for hill routes: more room, higher stance, still economical on fuel. |
| Toyota Innova / Crysta | 5–6 adults with luggage | The car for long hill days — comfortable over the drive time on this page, and the one to book for elderly passengers or a Char Dham-style multi-day run. |
| Tempo Traveller / Urbania | Groups of 9–17 | For pilgrim and family groups. Ask us about the road: on some upper stretches a 12-seater is the sensible limit. |
