It’s the pilgrimage of a lifetime! Kumbha Mela is a 21-day pilgrimage to India that only happens every 12 years. And it’s next year! Your next chance to catch this amazing opportunity won’t be until 2025.
Pilgrim Prays in the Ganga, Himalayan Institute.
Celebrated every 12 years for millennia, the Kumbha Mela is the largest spiritual gathering on the planet. Pilgrims, saints, sages, sadhus, and yogis belonging to many different paths and traditions come to the Kumbha Mela to share their knowledge and wisdom, to intensify their own practice, and to walk together on their spiritual journey. Tens of millions gather at the bank of the river Ganga (Ganges) at a time when the planets, constellations, and other celestial bodies are perfectly aligned, creating a powerful vortex of spiritual energy. This energy is further intensified by the collective consciousness of the saints, sages, and pilgrims who gather here with a single shared intention: inner healing and lasting change.
This is a 21-day pilgrimage to the Institute’s campus on the banks of the Ganga (Ganges River) in Allahabad, India for the Kumbha Mela and to Khajuraho, a stronghold of tantric practice. Both campuses are ideal for starting, deepening, or concluding one’s personal practice. For your convenience, there are three tour options: January 18—February 7, February 1—February 21, and February 15—March 7. Each of these tour options will have the same itinerary of activities.
