One of four locations in India—Haridwar on the Ganges in Uttarakhand, Ujjain on the Shipra in Madhya Pradesh, Nashik on the Godavari in Maharashtra, or Prayagraj at the confluence of the Ganges, the Yamuna, and the Sarasvati in Uttar Pradesh—hosts one of the largest peaceful religious gatherings in the world every 12 years. Millions of Hindu pilgrims visit during the event, which is conducted in honour of Lord Shiva. The Kumbh Mela is held in one of four different places every third year.

The accommodation on every Fair & Festival Tour in India depends on the location of celebration and the available options. For example: You can enjoy the festival of Holi, Diwali, Eid or Lohri even while staying at a luxury or boutique hotel in major cities of India. However, when it comes to events like Pushkar Camel Fair or Rann Utsav, the location is specific and most of the time accommodation is provided in the closest possible boutique hotel or the camps/cottages. These camps or cottages are majorly a temporary arrangement but are equipped with comfortable beds, toilets and other amenities. For your customised tours, you can specifically ask for the type of accommodation you would prefer out of the available options and for package tours, read the proposed tour plan or ask us.

Women should also make sure they dress modestly, concealing their arms and legs. It is more suitable to wear a baggy, loose-fitting shirt with a long scarf or dupatta than a tight t-shirt because this is a religious festival and you will likely spend some of the time inside a temple. Wear old clothes or anything you don't mind getting dirty because anything you wear to the Holi Festival will be permanently discoloured. The dyes found in inexpensive paint bombs and powders leave stains that are difficult to remove and reduce to a consistent blueberry colour over time. You may choose to wear white in order to view the stains on your clothing the most clearly. Men too should avoid wearing just a vest and shorts, we recommend a shirt and bermudas or long pyjamas.

 

Keeping in mind the cultural difference and the healthy exchange that we aim to provide through our Fair & Festivals Tours in India, we would love to see you interacting with the locals. The cordial salutation Namaste is a traditional and frequent manner to meet and bid farewell to Indians (nah-mah-stay). If you press your hands together at the palms while saying Namaste to a native, you'll almost instantly become a friend and receive a lot of respect for being a foreigner.
 

Fairs & Festivals of India are celebrated with such enthusiasm in India that one is bound to capture this extravaganza in videos and pictures. Most of the time during celebrations no one minds if you capture a few moments in your camera. However, we recommend that you only take pictures of individuals or things with permission, especially females, in temples or figurines/deities. Always ask first, and respect their decision if they answer "no."


 

Fair and Festivals Tours vary in length depending on the festival and the specific itinerary. Most tours last between 5 to 10 days, allowing ample time to explore the festivities, local culture, and attractions. Some longer tours may visit multiple festivals in different regions of India.

Fair and Festivals Tours are generally suitable for all ages, as they offer a chance to witness the lively cultural traditions of India. However, certain festivals, such as Holi or the Pushkar Camel Fair, can be crowded or involve physical activity. It’s important to check the specific festival’s requirements before booking if you have any concerns about accessibility or age restrictions.

India is generally a safe destination for tourists during festivals, though it’s important to be cautious in crowded areas. Always follow the instructions of your guide, be mindful of local customs, and take safety precautions to avoid any inconvenience. Tour operators often provide security and guidance during festival tours to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
