The Nashik–Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela is a major pilgrimage gathering in Maharashtra. If you are planning to travel in 2027, begin with the published bathing calendar, then plan accommodation and transport around your preferred dates.
Published 2027 dates
The official portal lists the main Mela period as 15 June to 30 September 2027. Major published Amrut Snan dates include 2 August, 31 August and 11–12 September 2027, with Nashik and Trimbakeshwar having different dates for the final event. Always confirm updates on the official calendar.
Planning your journey
Consider the location of your accommodation, possible traffic restrictions, arrival and departure flexibility, and the needs of older travellers. Peak bathing days may require more walking and longer travel times than usual.
Before booking
Ask for the exact property or camp location, distance to permitted transport points, available facilities, taxes, meals, and cancellation terms. Avoid relying on unverified claims of special bathing access.
