The holy, religious festival of Kumbh Mela of Nashik is held once every 12 years and attracts hordes of pilgrims from all over the country. Yesterday saw a grand inaugural ceremony of Kumbh Mela on the banks of Godavari in Trimbakeshwar. Nashik in Maharashtra is blessed with salubrious climate throughout the year and has many other tourist attractions in its vicinity. Therefore, it is a great time for travellers who are not too overtly religious to visit Nashik during the Kumbh Mela just for the experience! It’s not too late, you could still go to attend one of the greatest religious festivals our country witnesses.

Most bookings are done online. All you have to do is go on the main website of Nasik Kumbh Mela (www.kumbhmela.com) and fill out a form stating your requirements. You will be reverted with specifications in about 12 hours after which you can make an online payment to book your accommodation and darshan at the Kumbh.
