Plan Your Kumbh: Guides for Every Kumbh
Start by choosing which Kumbh and which bathing day, then plan who is going, how to get there and how to book safely. The next three are Haridwar (14 January to 20 April 2027), Nashik and Trimbakeshwar (main bathing days in August and September 2027) and Ujjain (27 March to 27 May 2028, proposed).
Use the planner below to pick a Kumbh and a day, then open the guide you need. KumbhMela.info is an independent guide, not a government website.

Before you book anything
Haridwar’s bathing days are provisional until a government notice lists them, so book only what you can cancel. Do not pay anyone who says a tent or package is “official” without a link to the authority’s own list.
Run the seller through our booking check first. KumbhMela.info does not sell or book anything.
How we check what we publish
Every date in these guides carries a status label and a link to its source. Read how we work and our editorial policy. If something looks wrong, tell us.
Offline packs for each Kumbh
One printable page per Kumbh: the dates with their status, a map of the main places, the official channels and the national helplines.
