Welcome to Prayagraj. I am here at Prayagraj railway station. I am going to Mahakumbh, Mela area. It is very crowded, noisy just from here. I will give you all the information. A to Z, how to reach there, where to stop. You will get all the information in this video. Mahakumbh is situated in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. It is convenient to reach here by train.

Because there are direct trains from many cities from India. Whereas there is Bamrauli airport in prayagraj which is 18 km away from Mela area. Civil Lines is the main bus stand of here. Will you go till Sangam? I will drop you at Naya Pul then ahead go on foot. Will I have to walk from there? Yes How much charge? Rs 30 I am sitting in an E-Rickshaw and if I tell you the condition of the station, there is no such crowd outside although it is morning time. Crowd will increase by afternoon and let's see how much crowd is in the mela area.

Mela area is about 5 km away from Prayagraj railway station. For which, sharing an E-Rickshaw costs only 30 rupees per person. It takes only 15 to 20 minutes to reach in the morning. But it can take an hour in the afternoon or evening due to traffic. So this is the Naya Pul where you are dropped and after this, you enter Mela area from here.

These cars that are going, need permission for this. They cannot go without permission. If you are planning to come here by car, then I will not recommend it at all. Because I also stay 90 km away from here but bringing a car here is like going to stuck. Because there is a lot of traffic. And apart from this, there is also a parking issue.

So it is better that you reach here Prayagraj by train. And after that, you can use the local transportation, the shuttle service provided here. After entry in mela area you get service of battery operated golf cart again. For which, it costs 50 rupees.

Where are you coming from? I am coming from Hyderabad. By bike? Yes, by bike. Driving 1200 km. How long will it take to reach there? It will take us 24 to 27 hours to reach here. Okay.

And apart from this, is entry allowed here by bike? It is allowed till now. And I don't know where we will stop next. I can't say anything. There is a separate arrangement for parking. The whole system has been done here. We will know after going there because we have come here early in the morning. And we will go ahead. So we will take the bike as far as it is allowed.

In Mela area, the bike is allowed in most of the areas. But it is not allowed on Main snan dates and there is no dedicated parking for it inside. So you have to park the bike anywhere.

He told me that he will drop me at Hanuman Temple but he dropped me bit before that. But still, your walking distance of about 1.5 km is reduced. Because if you waste less energy in the crowd, it will be better. And after this, the distance of Sangam is only 1.5 km which you have to cover on foot. And the real Kumbh Mela starts from here because the paved road ends from here. And the entry is made on an iron sheet kept on the sand of Ganga Yamuna.

Where you will see many reddy shops. And after crossing Kachhap Dwar, Nandi Dwar and Sangam Dwar, you reach the Sangam. After travelling from the station for 1.5 hours, I have reached here. Announcement is going on here because this is the Kumbh Mela and people get lost in the Kumbh Mela. This is an old saying. By the way, people are taking bath here. But the main Sangam is in the middle. Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati Sangam is there and people take bath there.

I will go by boat. Charge of boat and how much time it takes to reach there, will know. I don't face any problem reaching here from station, I had to walk 1.5 km to reach here. If you have parents with you, try to carry a wheelchair if they have problem in walking.

How much will you charge? - Rs 75 If I reserve entire boat? Rs 600. For how much time? Till you bathe. I have come to the boat but I would like to mention one thing.

I haven't faced any problem yet. But there is no proper platform here for boarding boat people are facing problems. The price is okay. But I have told you the official price.

we have departed and everyone is wearing life jackets. It is compulsory. So let me wear my jacket and go to Sangam because the real bath is there. If you want, you can take a bath on the bank of Sangam. But most of the devotees prefer to take a bath in the middle of Sangam by going through boat. Because the Sangam of the three rivers is there.

I have come to the place where you can see Sangam clearly. One is this brownish color river and other river color is green. You can clearly see the difference. People fill water here coz sangam is here. You can see it clearly. It is like this in the flowing streams. It is like this in the middle. Saraswati river is also here but it is not visible.

So brother has filled water, this is Ganga ji's water and this is Saraswati's water. He has fill both the water. You can take both of them. You reach the main place in 20 minutes where everyone takes bath and do worship here. Temporary changing rooms are also available here.

Carry an extra pair of clothes and a towel with you. You get half an hour at this place but the real struggle starts after this. When you go towards sangam from ghat it takes about 20 minutes but when you return from sangam it takes more than 1 hour of time. So keep one thing in mind, in this whole ride, it will take you about 2 hours. So if you have a bus, train or flight, plan accordingly. Because you have to keep 2-3 hours for the boat ride.

Because there traffic and to divide the traffic, they have made divider in the middle. So all these things are here. And one more thing I want to tell you is that the official rate of the boat here is Rs. 75 which they tell you on camera but when it comes to charging, it will cost you Rs. 200 round trip or they may charge more they qouted me Rs 400 but I done the deal in Rs 200.

So all these things, you take care of them. Har Har Mahadev Har Har Mahadev Where have you come from? Okay, from different places. Okay, okay. So how was the journey? Amazing. Have you done snan? Yes Did the whole family come? Okay.

We have done snan in sangam. Okay Have you done stay here as well? No. This is only your day trip? Yes We will go to kashi now. Har Har Mahadev. Okay, Har Har Mahadev. And most of the people were not staying here. And the reason and solution for that, you will get to know later. How much did hotel cost you here? I got a dormitory for Rs. 2,500 I mean it was for 4 people then we upgraded it.

So we paid Rs 1000 extra converting it to a room. So hotel here are very expensive it will cost you minimum Rs 3000-4000. And from Rs 5000 hotel cost starts on shahi snan dates. Like a dormitory The Rs 600 dormitory we get it will be Rs 1200 around.

On normal days price is okay but on snan days it is very expensive. Although there were a lot of ashrams here where you can stay. But take a blanket with you.

Because in this you get to sleep on floor only. There is no hotel in Mela area but a tent city has also been developed here. Here, stay costs a minimum of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15,000 per night.

So the best option is to take a bath on the same day and leave for home. You won't have any problem regarding food in Kumbh Because you will get it in many places and that too for free. I have come here in a shiv and you see, there are so many brinjals here I mean there is a complete arrangement for food here. and the whole arrangement is done in free And it is a very big thing that at such a big level and for so many people There is a food arrangement every day all three meals. So all this can be seen in our Maha Kumbh.

In some ashrams, you get a lot of good facilities to stay. But for this it is neccesary that you a introduction in that ashram. In Kumbh mela separated people also meets but here I have meet a known one Mr. Kanhaiya Ji. He saw my story. So he called me here. So you are staying here so how is the arrangement here? Tell me something. I have come from Mathura. So by Shriji Nagar, this arrangement is done by Shriji Baba Maharaj. There is a very good arrangement here.

There is a good arrangement for stay and food. And there is a good arrangement that we have come from Mathura. During the fair, satsangs and discourses take place at various places and you have the freedom to participate in any of them and from time to time tableaus are also seen here which is taken out by Ashram and Akhada and this is also very interesting to watch. One problem that I had to face in kumbh and I want to share it with you that first thing is that there is issue of transportation here mela area is in a big area and genrally people are coming and taking bath and going back there are many things to do such as visit Akhadas and other activity but they are not able to reach because there is no transportation available here and one has to walk a lot so this is a issue. Secondly, there is proper information map available here like a map in which it is mentioned where you are, where you can go, distance etc.

this is not available and you cann't search on goggle map because it is temporary place so this is a issue. Third issue is of senior citizen, I was thinking of bringing my parents here and if they have problem in walking. How will they come? How will they access? Where can I get them bathed? This is a small problem which can be improved in the coming time. Mahakumbh will held from 13 January to 26 Febuary and during the fair the most crowded is on the main snan day which will be on these dates.

But if you want to avoid the crowd, then take a bath early in the morning because the crowd increases in the afternoon. This is such a big fair, so there must be a story behind it so I will tell you. These Kumbh fairs are held at 4 places, Haridwar, Nashik, Ujjain and Prayagraj.

These Kumbhs are held at all these places. As you know, this is after 144 year purn Kumbh and this is the 12 year Kumbh also and ardh Kumbh is in every 6 year and the Magh fair is held every year and during this period, the Kumbh fair is held. So the story is like this, these 4 places, when the samundra manthan held and the demons and gods were fighting for Amrit kalash. And when that water fell, its drops fell on these 4 places only. And since then Kumbh is being organized here, that is why it is considered sacred and it is customary to take bath throughout this period.

By the way, there is a Yatri Ashram at Prayagraj Railway Station for stay which is like Ren basera but the toilets here are very good. Mahakumbh is going to held till Mahashivratri and after Maha shivratri if you want to have darshan of Kailash Maan Sarovar right now you can have ariel darshan. then you can connect to the TriptoTemples and can take complete information and can done this Yatra, which is done from Nepal. So for more information I have given their contact details so contact them and after Mahakumbh do darshan of Kailash Man Sarovar.

If you are keeping one day to roam in Prayagraj, then Anand Bhawan, Chandrashekhar Azaad Park, Khusro Bagh, Alopi Devi Mandir are the main places and these places can be easily covered in a day. Many people may not know that these tents are visible in the Kumbh Mela. People think that the ones would stay here for 1-2 day and leave but it is not so. A lot of people come here for Kalpvas. What is Kalpvas?

Kalvas is where you spend simple life. Whatever is the duration of the fair i.e. this fair is going to run till 26th February. During this entire period these people will going to stay here and do snan in sangam daily after that, they spend their simple life here.

They become a part of the Havan. They perform Pooja. They spend a spiritual life during this entire Mela. So, you have a lot of such things here. This colony is formed here.

The three lives are completely spiritual. By the way, you can also do Kalpvas during Magh Mela, which is held every year during this month in Prayagraj. And you can do Kalpvas by joining any Ashram. A person cannot stay silent at home. A person can do one mala of naam jap. A person has to lie for a lot of reasons at home. People are telling the truth by coming here.

Trying pratice to stay silent. When they are chanting the name, they are reciting the name of Lord in their ears. They are listening to the katha of Bhagwad Bhagwan. Such an environment is being created by which a person is living a life of penance and is immersed in devotion. They are getting closer to Lord. However, some food centres are also made here and the food rates are also reasonable here.

People who are staying here for long time, milk and grocery shops have also been made for them. You will get toilets and other facilities wherever you go. I got to see network issue in Mela area. However, this problem was only in some places. There is also a temple of Akshyvat and Bade Hanumanji in Mela area.

But there is a lot of crowd here for Darshan. So, for this purpose, at least 3 to 4 hours should be kept. The Kumbh Mela is organized by the government. But the ones who give it a spiritual form are the Akhadas here.

There are many Akhadas here. There is a whole area of Akhadas here, Juna Akhada, I am standing in Juna akhada right now and there is also Nirmohi akhada. There area nearby where there are all Akhadas. There is a Baba there. You will get to see all the Siddh mahatmas here. There is Bada whose hand is in this position for years. You will get to see all the Siddh mahatmas here.

So, people come here for Darshan. You can also go inside and look around. By the way, there are 5 Railway Stations in Prayagraj, Prayagraj Junction, Prayagraj Sangam, Prayagraj Rambag, Prayagraj Cheoki, Naini and Prayag. All these are within a radius of 2 to 10 km from Mela area. But the main Railway Station is Prayagraj Junction. So, now I will tell you what can be the whole itinerary of Kumbh. How you should plan.

According to me, you should only do a day trip here. Because if you come here and search a hotel, it is very difficult to get a hotel and if you get it, then you will have to pay a lot of charges. So, it is better that you do a day trip. You will not need a hotel. You come here early in the morning in Prayagraj and directly come here in Sangam area, as I have told you about the mode of transportation, come here like that facility is available here for 24 hours. You can come at any time, reach here and then take a bath. If you want to take a bath, you can do it here in the middle, where there is a sangam.

Or if you want, you can do it on the shore there, it's up to you. After bath and in the evening you can go back. Try to book everything in advance and come, if you want to stay. Otherwise, if you come here and think that you will get a hotel and everything, you will get it, but then it will be very heavy on your pocket. So the best option is to do a day trip, come in the morning, leave by evening.

Your expenses, I will tell you what will come. It will cost transportation to get here, it will take a boat expense, it will not cost you maximum of 1000 rupees and if you do a day trip. If you take a hotel, then you will have to spend the most on the hotel. There is no special expense for transportation, there is no cost of food as well.

Consider at least Rs 5000 as expense, because hotels are very expensive here. So ultimately this was the information and if you have not made a plan yet, then make a plan and come here, there will be no such problem. There will be a crowd on the main bath date and there can be a problem in that.

Otherwise, you will not take much time, do a day trip and leave easily. So I hope you liked the video and you also do snan. And see you at a new destination with a new vlog. Till then, Har Har Mahadev.
