Plan my Kumbh in three taps
The four guides most people need.
Two days, step by step, with what pilgrims do at each place by tradition. The full page has one-day and three-day plans too.
Bathe at Har Ki Pauri, climb to the hill temples of the goddess, and add a day upstream in Rishikesh. Haridwar and Rishikesh are about 25 km apart, linked by train and road. On a main bathing day keep to the bath, and do the rest on the days around it.
Pilgrims bathe in the Ganga at Har Ki Pauri. By tradition, drops of amrit fell at Brahmakund, the part of the ghat where the evening aarti is held.
About 2 km on foot, roughly 25 minutes (OpenStreetMap foot route). From Haridwar railway station.Pilgrims climb Bilwa Parvat for darshan of Mansa Devi. With the Chandi Devi and Maya Devi temples it completes what the state calls Haridwar's Siddhapeeth triangle.

Source: Official Haridwar Kumbh website, 16 Oct 2026PTI calls it the Ardh Kumbh. The Uttarakhand government uses the name Haridwar Kumbh 2027. Both mean the same mela; we use the state's name in titles.

Source: Navbharat Live, 12 Oct 2026Uttarakhand government releases describe the work under way for a Haridwar event in 2027. This includes building work and a master plan. The plans cover ghats, roads, sanitation, water, parking, camp areas and how crowds will move. MyGov Uttarakhand also asked the public for ideas, under the title Haridwar Kumbh 2027.
This shows that preparation is moving. It does not show that every planned facility is finished. It also does not mean that a given route will run during the event, or that a parking area or camp will be open to you.
To see where the dates stand today, read Haridwar Kumbh 2027 dates.
Haridwar is one of the four recognised Kumbh places. Its Kumbh is linked with the Ganga and with the holy area around Har Ki Pauri. Government and city council accounts also place Haridwar in the traditional cycle of Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh.
In mythology, Haridwar is linked with the amrita-kalasha, the pot of amrit (nectar). This belongs to religious tradition. Do not mix it up with recorded history. For history and background that stay useful beyond 2027, read the Haridwar Kumbh location guide.
Har Ki Pauri is a major ghat on the Ganga. It is also the main landmark people use to find their way in Haridwar. The wider holy area has many ghats, neighbourhoods, temples, ashrams and pilgrimage sites. During a big event, entry and movement can work differently from a normal day.
Use the Har Ki Pauri and Haridwar Kumbh ghats guide to learn the places, which stay the same from year to year. A normal-day map does not prove a 2027 route or bathing area.
Public sources today do not all use the same name. Uttarakhand government releases mostly say Haridwar Kumbh 2027, and sometimes use grander ceremonial words. Material from the city council (Nagar Nigam Haridwar) describes a separate tradition: the Ardh Kumbh, every six years.
We use “Haridwar Kumbh 2027” because it is the clearest name that matches the sources. Where another name changes what you are looking for, we explain it.
The name does not change the rule. For dates and arrangements, use a dated notice from the authority in charge.
