This place is breathtaking, driving from Rishikesh is a 2 hour drive. Be prepare to go down many steps and cross the bridge, once you go to the lowest part you have access to the river. This is the place where the two Himalayan rivers, Bhagirathi (coming from Gangotri) & Alaknanda (coming from Badrinath) merge to form a single river & take the name Ganga. The calm waters of Alaknanda meet the gushing waters of Bhagirathi here. Though the place is of great religious significance,the Sangam point is not crowded (but could be if you are travelling on a special religious festival). The confluence can be seen from the main Highway, the Badrinath-Rishikesh road,& it looks beautiful from there as well,but one must also go down at the exact Sangam (confluence point).

Devprayag is the confluence of two rivers Bhagirathi and Aloknanda together forming Ganga. The place is very sacred and very nice. One can spend hours sitting near the confluence and enjoy the serenity of the place. The sound of Bhagirathi is quiet energetic. It has been a lifetime experience and one must pay visit to this place. We have taken taxi from Haridwar to Devprayag and it costs us Rs. 3500 and 3.5hrs each way. One can either make a day trip or can stay for 1 night. However not too many good place to stay. Stairs are many so a bit of a struggle for aged person. You can also feed the fishes in the river. Raghunath temple is near by and one can visit and pay homage. However have to climb around 80 Stairs to reach. Overall very nice place and worth visiting.

if you are planning to go all the way to Sangam Point, its too many stairs, and ascent/descent is too much but still I will not say/stop one going down. It's a religious belief. These Prayags are not just a religious shrine but also a testament to the beauty of mother nature. Hidden in the lap of the Himalayas, these religious sites are some of the most pristine natural sites in Uttarakhand. Devprayag is the most significant confluence in Panch Prayag. It is a location where the River Alaknanda meets Bhagirathi after coming down from Vishnuprayag, Nandprayag, Karnaprayag, and Rudraprayag to form the sacred River Ganga. Here the Bhagirathi from Gaumukh & the Alaknanda from Satopanth unite and for most Indians, this confluence is no less holy than the Sangam at Allahabad. Lord Laxman and Lord Ram, according to popular belief, performed intense penance there. This was done to express their remorse for Brahmahatya of Ravana, who was Brahman. Devotees take a bath and pray here and at other Panch Prayags before continuing their journey to Chota Chardham. The entire town was destroyed in the earthquake in 1803 and was restored soon.

Devprayag Sangam is a beautiful and peaceful spot where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers meet and then flow on as the Ganges River. It's a sacred place offering stunning views, with the distinct colors of the two rivers creating a remarkable sight. Try to avoid pandits who may approach you for Ganga pooja. After visiting the sangam, do visit the Raghunathji Mandir. The natural beauty and spiritual importance make Devprayag Sangam a memorable and worthwhile destination for anyone traveling to the region.
