Itinerary

1
Day 01/ Arrival in Praygaraj
Arrival at Praygaraj. On arrival transfer to tented accommodation. Praygaraj was formerly known as Prayag – which means ‘Place of sacrifice’ in Sanskrit. It is believed to be the spot where Lord Brahma offered his first sacrifice after creating the world. The Triveni Sangam in Praygaraj is a confluence of 3 rivers, the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati of these three, the river Saraswati is invisible and is said to flow underground and join the other two rivers from below. Here the muddy and pale-yellow waters of the Ganges merge with the blue waters of Yamuna. At the confluence of these two great Indian rivers, where the invisible Saraswati conjoins them. It is here that the greatest event on earth takes place known as Kumbh Mela. The festival is once-in-a-lifetime experience for every visitor who is curious about Hindu religion and philosophy. The crowd and confusion of buyers and sellers, the native groups in every imaginable costume, and many are half or full naked or wildly clad. The whole atmosphere during Kumbh Mela is bursting with sounding bells, chanting of Vedic hymns and mantras, procession of Naga Sadhus and other Akhaaras on camels and elephants in their gold and silver chariots being pulled by devotees, as they display their strength and skills is a pure enchantment for the soul. Later part of day is to experience yourself the spiritual atmosphere of Kumbh Mela. Overnight stay in Camp.

Day 02-03/ Praygaraj
These days are to witness the greatest Indian Festival which is also one of the largest gathering of people for spiritual benefit in the world and attracts millions of devotees from all over. A large number of Sadhus with their disciples make Praygaraj their home during Kumbh Mela. To live among the Sadhus, who have dedicated their entire lives in meditation and fulfilling spiritual deeds is indeed a unique experience of life. There are many Ashrams set up for this special occasion where the Sadhus along with disciples stay and have discourses about religion and Hindu philosophy. You may also join them and take advantage of their preaching of divine path of Moksha. There may also be an opportunity to even interact with them and take pictures of them with their permission. If you go by the Hindu mythologies, then this is the only time and place in the world where you can unburden your sins and achieve ‘Nirvana’ from the vicious cycle of birth and re birth. Take dips in the holy water of Ganges that is said to wash away all the sins of a person. Light a Diya, attend Yoga sessions and make a wish, they do come true! After full day of hustle and bustle, return to Camp for nice and relax in Luxury Camp Overnight stay.
