Although, attending Maha Kumbh mela is very auspicious , we highly recommend to attend the mela during the auspicious dates (please check the schedule of auspicious days and sahi snaan) and specially during Royal Bath as the energy level in Haridwar will be its peak. We recommend to stay minimum 3 nights (1st day to arrive in Haridwar, 2nd day to gel with the atmosphere and day 3, attend the sahi snaan) in Haridwar.
Based on your schedule, we can plan a number of options incorporating places of your choice along with Haridwar. However, we have worked out some of the programs which will help you to put together your plan and send the same to us for fine tuning etc.. |
