It would not be far (three hours by train) - you can think of Varanasi, it is an experience.
Suggest you should google your queries and you would find a lot of information. For distances by road, look at www.mapmyindia.com It has a tab for directions (from and to, as well as via) Cheers.

I had never heard of these places but you can be sure I will be investigating them now. It will be a while before I get there but it is never too early to start finding out. Perhaps I could ask you something. I know where Allahabad is in relation to New Delhi but it is hard to estimate times and distances from maps. I'd like to go to A but is there anything of interest there? My mother was born and raised there so I have a connection, you see. Do you know anything about the city? Thank you so much!
