Four Kumbh cities
The four Kumbh cities
Why plan your stay by snan date
1
Crowds follow the calendar
The big bathing days draw many times the normal crowd. Rooms near the ghats go first for those nights.
2
Roads close on snan days
On major days private vehicles are kept out of the centre. Where you sleep decides how far you walk.
3
The next town is often better
When the city is full, a base 25–50 km away with a shuttle can be easier than a poor room in the centre.
