Makar Sankranti Opening Snan package, Haridwar Kumbh 2027

Makar Sankranti, when the sun turns north, opens the Kumbh. It is the first bathing day of the mela and the calmest of the major snans: Haridwar is busy but not yet at its March and April peak, which makes it the best first Kumbh for older parents.

Dates: 13 January 2027 – 15 January 2027 · Duration: 3 days / 2 nights · Best for: First-time Kumbh visitors, families with grandparents, anyone avoiding the peak crowds.
