Preparing your Kumbh Mela guide
Since traditional hotel infrastructure cannot support the millions of visitors, massive temporary "Tent Cities" are constructed around Nashik. Ranging from basic dormitory tents to ultra-luxury "glamping" suites, staying in a tent city offers the most authentic Kumbh Mela experience.
As the Kumbh Mela approaches, dozens of fake websites will appear claiming to offer "Official Tent City Bookings." They take advance payments and disappear. Never transfer money to personal UPI IDs or unverified bank accounts.Only book through the official MTDC portal or highly reputed travel operators.

Premium swiss tents resembling 4-star hotel rooms.
Comfortable, family-friendly private tents.
Large shared tents suitable for big groups on a budget.
Private and government tent cities are erected on the outskirts of Nashik to comply with crowd control and space regulations. Do not expect a luxury tent city right next to Ramkund.
The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) will launch its official Tent City bookings closer to the event (expected late 2026). This is generally the safest and most reliable booking option, offering a mix of deluxe and luxury cottages with official shuttle services to the ghats.
