As the historic Maha Kumbh 2025 unfolds in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, a unique and convenient transportation option has been introduced for devotees seeking to experience this once-in-a-lifetime spiritual gathering without the long walks to the Triveni Sangam. The 45-day Maha Kumbh, which began on January 13, is expected to attract over 450 million devotees to the sacred confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers. The grand event, which will continue until February 26, has brought together millions of people from across the world for one of the largest religious gatherings on the planet.
To enhance accessibility and reduce travel time for pilgrims, the Uttar Pradesh Eco-Tourism Development Board, in collaboration with Fly Ola, has launched a helicopter service that directly connects Prayagraj Airport to Triveni Sangam. The helicopter ride offers an aerial view of the holy site, significantly cutting down the time and effort required to reach the Sangam, which otherwise involves long walks or road travel, especially during the peak of the Kumbh.
This helicopter service aims to provide a comfortable and quick travel experience for those who may face challenges due to the vast crowds, long distances, or physical limitations. The service operates during the duration of the Maha Kumbh and offers a convenient way for pilgrims, tourists, and high-profile visitors to reach the sacred spot with ease.
The initiative is part of Uttar Pradesh’s broader efforts to improve infrastructure and enhance the experience for devotees attending the grand religious event. The introduction of such services reflects the growing demand for modern amenities and efficient transportation to accommodate the immense number of attendees, ensuring that the spiritual significance of the Kumbh can be enjoyed by all.
Devotees availing of the helicopter service will not only save time but also enjoy a unique experience, with breathtaking views of the Triveni Sangam and surrounding areas. This modern mode of transport is expected to cater to the needs of VIPs, elderly devotees, and those looking for a more comfortable journey to the heart of the Maha Kumbh.
With such thoughtful measures in place, the 2025 Maha Kumbh promises to be a memorable experience for all, combining the sacred with modern-day conveniences, and making this spiritual occasion even more accessible to people from all walks of life.
