As part of our ShikshaDaan Yatra in May, we went from Allahabad to Varanasi on the 15th of May. First, getting out of Allahabad was a nightmare as we got into the market area where the already narrow road became even more narrower due to the pushcart vendors. […]

We came to Allahabad on May 13th from Lucknow. The distance was just 209 kms but it took us four hours to drive that distance because the road is a state highway at best with just two lanes and unruly traffic coming at you from every direction !! […]
