Ardh Kumbh 2027 Haridwar: Snan Dates and Where to Stay
The Ardh Kumbh 2027 in Haridwar runs 14 January to 20 April 2027. Here are all ten snan dates, the three Amrit Snan days, and how to pick a camp, hotel, ashram or homestay.
The Ardh Kumbh 2027 Haridwar — the Kumbh Mela Haridwar 2027, held six years after the 2021 Kumbh and run on the scale of a full Kumbh — begins on Makar Sankranti, 14 January 2027, and ends on Chaitra Purnima, 20 April 2027. Over those 97 days crores of pilgrims will bathe in the Ganga at Har Ki Pauri and the ghats around it. If you are planning to be there, the single most important decision after your dates is where you stay.

Why your stay matters more at the Kumbh
On the big snan days the police close roads around Har Ki Pauri to vehicles, often from the night before. Pilgrims who stay far out spend hours walking in crowds. Pilgrims who stay close walk to the ghat before dawn, bathe, and are back for breakfast. That is why rooms within walking distance of Har Ki Pauri are the first to sell out — often months ahead.
Your four options
1. Luxury camps
Kumbh camps are the classic way to experience the mela. A good luxury camp gives you a Swiss cottage tent with a real bed, an attached bathroom and hot water, sattvic meals and help getting to the ghat. You live inside the atmosphere of the Kumbh — the bhajans, the akharas, the evening aarti — rather than visiting it.
2. Hotels near Har Ki Pauri
Hotels suit families, elderly pilgrims and anyone who wants a solid roof, a lift and room service. Luxury hotels in Haridwar and budget hotels near the ghats both fill fast for Makar Sankranti, Mauni Amavasya and the Amrit Snan days.
3. Ashrams
Ashram stays are simple and peaceful, with satsang and sattvic food. Expect gate timings and house rules.
4. Homestays
A homestay puts you with a local Haridwar family — home-cooked food, hosts who know the back lanes on snan days, and often the best value at peak dates.
When to book
Book as soon as you know your snan date. For the Amrit Snan days (6 March, 8 March and 14 April 2027) and Mauni Amavasya (6 February), book at least two to three months ahead. Weekdays between the big snan days are calmer and cheaper.
