Complete Prayagraj DMC Services Guide for Travel Agents 2026

For travel agents and tour operators, Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) represents a massive revenue opportunity—but also a logistical minefield. As one of the holiest cities in India, hosting the Triveni Sangam, it attracts millions of domestic and international pilgrims annually. However, for an agent sitting in Mumbai, Delhi, or Bangalore, managing ground operations remotely is fraught with risk.

Drivers who don’t show up, boatmen who triple prices upon seeing tourists, and hotels that cancel group bookings at the last minute are common nightmares that destroy agent reputations.

This is where Prayag Samagam steps in.

We are the leading Prayagraj DMC (Destination Management Company) exclusively focused on B2B partnerships. We do not compete with you; we empower you. This guide details our comprehensive ground handling services, wholesale pricing structures, and how partnering with us allows you to sell Prayagraj with confidence and high profit margins in 2026.

The Agent’s Dilemma: Why Prayagraj is Hard to Sell

Before we dive into solutions, let’s address the operational friction points that most travel agents face when booking Prayagraj:

1. Fragmented Suppliers: You likely need to call a boatman for the Sangam, a separate vendor for Tempo Travellers, and negotiate directly with hotels. Coordinating these three silos remotely is inefficient.
2. Rate Fluctuation: Spot rates at Triveni Sangam fluctuate hourly based on crowd density. A quote you give a client today might be unprofitable tomorrow if the boatman raises his price.
3. Quality Control: “Deluxe” hotels in pilgrimage cities often don’t match the standards of metro cities, leading to client complaints upon check-in.
4. Lack of GST Compliance: Many local service providers deal in cash, making it difficult for registered travel agents to claim input tax credit or provide proper invoices to corporate clients.

The Prayag Samagam Solution: We act as your single-point local office. You send one email or WhatsApp message, and we handle the hotel, the boat, the guide, and the transfer—all on a single B2B invoice with transparent wholesale rates.

Comprehensive Prayagraj DMC Services for Travel Agents

Our 2026 portfolio is designed to cover every touchpoint of your client’s pilgrimage. Below is a breakdown of our core B2B services.

1. Triveni Sangam Boat Ride Consolidation

The boat ride to the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati is the highlight of any Prayagraj itinerary. It is also the most difficult to manage. We own and contract a fleet of boats to guarantee availability and pricing.

Service Features:

• Guaranteed Wholesale Rates: Fixed pricing for agents, regardless of seasonal crowd surges.
• Safety First: All our boats are equipped with life jackets (mandatory for our operations) and verified boatmen.
• VIP Experiences: We arrange private boats for sunrise/sunset rituals, avoiding the general overcrowding.
• Direct Access: Our boats launch from the nearest accessible ghats (Qila Ghat or VIP Ghat) to minimize walking for elderly pilgrim

2. Accommodation & Hotel Inventory Management

Finding clean, comfortable, and centrally located hotels in Prayagraj can be challenging, especially during auspicious bathing dates. Prayag Samagam holds pre-purchased inventory in key properties to ensure our partners always have rooms.

Partner Hotel Categories:

• Budget (Pilgrim Class): Clean rooms, AC, attached bath, near Railway Station. Perfect for budget group tours.
• Mid-Range (Standard): 3-star equivalent, restaurant on-site, elevator access. Ideal for families.
• Premium/Luxury: Best-in-class properties in Civil Lines with banquet facilities and premium amenities.

Agent Benefit: We offer Fixed Departure Series rates for groups. Even if online portals show “Sold Out,” check with us—we often hold the offline allocation.

3. Ground Transportation & Logistics

We operate a fleet of verified commercial vehicles. Our drivers are not just transport providers; they are trained to handle pilgrimage tourists (polite, non-smoking/drinking on duty, and knowledgeable about temple timings).

Key B2B Feature: Our transport rates are “All-Inclusive” (Fuel, Driver Allowance, Tolls, Parking). No hidden charges for your clients to argue about.

4. Pind Daan & Ritual Coordination

Spiritual rituals are the primary driver for Prayagraj tourism. However, priests often demand exorbitant “Dakshina” (donations) on the spot, leaving clients feeling scammed.

We standardize this process:

• Pre-booked Priests: We connect with trusted Purohits.
• Transparent “Dakshina”: We fix the ritual fee in advance.
• Material Arrangement: All puja samagri (materials) are included in our B2B package price.
• Languages: We can arrange priests who speak Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, or Bengali.

2026 Wholesale Pricing & Commission Structure

Transparency is the bedrock of our agency partnerships. We operate on a Net Rate model. We give you a net price, and you are free to add your markup.

The “Net Rate” Advantage

Unlike a standard commission model (where you get 10% post-travel), the Net Rate model puts cash flow in your hands immediately.

Example Calculation for a 3-Night/4-Day Couple Prayagraj with Varanasi & Ayodhya Package:

• Inclusions: 2 Nights Hotel (3-star), AC Etios for 3 days, Boat Ride, Airport Transfers.

• Prayag Samagam Net Rate: ₹18,000

• Suggested Market Price: ₹22,500

• Your Instant Profit: ₹4,500 (approx. 25% Margin)

Volume Discount Tiers

We reward our loyal partners. As your booking volume increases, your net rates decrease.

Operational Logistics: How We Handle Your Clients

When you book Prayagraj DMC services for travel agents through us, we effectively white-label our services. To the client, we are an extension of your agency.

1. The Welcome: Clients are met at Prayagraj Airport (IXD) or Railway Station (PRYJ) with a placard bearing your agency’s logo (optional).
2. 24/7 Control Room: We provide a dedicated operations number. If a client faces an issue at 11:00 PM, our local team resolves it—you don’t need to wake up.
3. Daily Updates: We send you WhatsApp updates (“Clients picked up,” “Check-in done,” “Tour started”) so you stay informed without nagging the driver.
4. Feedback Loop: We collect feedback on your behalf and share the raw data with you to help you improve future sales.

Why Travel Agents Choose Prayag Samagam

We are not a generalist OTA; we are specialists.

• Local Authority: We have physical offices in Prayagraj. We know which roads are closed during VIP visits and which ghats have the best water levels.
• Crisis Management: In 2025/2026, crowd management is key. If a road is blocked, our drivers know the back routes. If a hotel overbooks, we have backup contracts.
• GST Compliant Invoicing: All our B2B transactions come with proper GST invoices, allowing you to claim input credit (ITC) and maintain clean books.

Case Study: Scaling a Mumbai Agent’s Revenue

• The Problem: “Travel World Mumbai” (Name changed) was avoiding selling Prayagraj due to bad experiences with local boatmen.

• The Partnership: They tested Prayag Samagam with one small group of 4 senior citizens. We handled the wheelchair assistance, private boat, and guided darshan.

• The Result: The clients returned raving about the smooth experience. In 2025, this agent booked 12 groups with us, generating ₹4.5 Lakhs in pure profit from a destination they previously ignored.

Related Services & Up-Selling Opportunities

To maximize your revenue per passenger, consider bundling these services available through our network.
