🕉️ Nashik Simhastha Kumbh Mela

Nashik, India

Jul 29 – Sep 12, 2027

Held once every 12 years: tens of millions of pilgrims and ascetics bathe in the Godavari River, with sadhu processions on the main bathing days—one of the largest gatherings on Earth.

Good to know

• The three Amrit Snan days (Aug 2, Aug 31, Sep 11) are the most crowded; visit the days around them for a calmer look.
• Stay in official tent camps or Mumbai, drink only bottled water and leave valuables behind.
