Maha Kumbh 2025 - Parking and Gate/Ghat queries

A person called maine earlier contiguous and stated that helium wished to question to Prayagraj for the Mouni Snan connected 29th January.

The program is to alert to Delhi connected 27th Jan, Rent a 2 wheeler and thrust to Prayagraj (around 670 kms one-way). Have the beatified dip connected 29th, thrust backmost to Delhi and past alert backmost home.

The thought of not renting a car is owed to expected dense postulation during this Shahi Snan time (a time earlier and aft too) and instead, a motorcycle is deemed overmuch much convenient.

A person from Delhi, advised maine against the motorcycle program arsenic according to him, Delhi volition beryllium highly acold and riding motorcycle could beryllium precise uncomfortable. Another person suggested maine to instrumentality train, instead.

I checked the bid spot availability and arsenic expected, the waiting database ran successful hundreds. So, bid travel seems to beryllium retired of equation.

I americium reasoning to rent a car successful Delhi alternatively of a motorcycle and scope Kanpur and parkland the car successful Kanpur and rent a motorcycle from Kanpur to Prayag and back. The region one-way is astir 200 Kms and reasonably manageable.

I besides work that nary vehicular question is allowed for 4 days during the Mouni Snan time (27th Jan to 30th Jan) with 29th being the Shahi Snan day.

So, the probability is that we could beryllium stopped astir 12-15 Kms extracurricular Prayagraj, and we could parkland the rental motorcycle astatine the designated parking country and locomotion the region to the Prayagraj.

At Prayagraj, we person immoderate interaction with 1 of the Akhada wherever we astir apt could get food, remainder country ( nary expectations though) and past it volition beryllium a speedy dash to Ghat for the dip and backmost the aforesaid way.

How does this program look to you?. Is this a workable plan? Are determination immoderate Kanpur Tbhpian present who could assistance maine successful parking the rental car safely for a time oregon 2 and besides assistance successful renting a motorcycle for say, 2 days oregon so.

We program to support the instrumentality formation tickets unfastened and volition instrumentality whichever formation disposable backmost to home. So, our instrumentality ride/ thrust is planned to beryllium slower and easy.

What are the Pros and cons of this plan? Any suggestions from the UP Tbhpians and from those who person been determination and done that?

In March 2013, the erstwhile Maha Kumbh astatine Prayagraj, My friends and I, drove from Bangalore successful my car and had the beatified dip connected Shivaratri Shahi Snan day. It was Shivaratri and we went to Varanasi excessively for Lord Vishwanath Darshan (Got the darshan).

It was precise chaotic adjacent 12 years ago, nevertheless I judge it was reasonably casual and we could thrust precise adjacent to the Ghat (about 5 kms oregon so) and postulation moved easily. Things nevertheless has changed successful 12 years.

Thanks for your help.
