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.

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.
