Kumbh Village

We stayed at the Kumbh Village cottages in Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh. Very good temporary infrastructure setup, the cottages are decent. However, the bath area could've been better. The facets were leaking, open bath tray, no shower curtains. The owner Varun and staff there were very helpful and supportive. The Food & Dining were decent. The staff there too provided good service. Especially Dipak Maurya in the dinning area gave us a very good service👍🏽 😊 Har Har Gange🙏🏽 Har Har Mahadev 🔱

Just back from our Magha Poornima Maha Kumbh experience and we had a wonderful time there. Kumbh as we know is unlike any other typical visit. This Maha Kumbh as we know has seen unprecedented numbers and things are even more dynamic than ever before. Especially so through the main snan, poornima, Amavasya days/weekends. It is truly a miracle that we - a group of 50+ women and men - could do this with ease, all thanks to Kumbh village team. - Accomodation - We have to keep in mind that this tent city goes up from scratch and is not like usual hotels. The tents are spacious and well kept. They may not look ‘brand spanking new’ but linens etc are all clean. Running water etc. It was hot and fans were provided when requested. - The food is good and the team in the dining hall is very courteous and helpful. - The ghat behind is fairly close by and open to visit all times of the day. We loved our night full moon walk to the ghat one evening. Got to see ganga aarti too by.a small team of Pujaris. Some shallow parts can be kept cleaner but if you walk towards the deeper end the water is good. - Boatride and sangam dip on Maghi Poornima was unexpected and such a delightful surprise as we did not think it would be possible on this day. The experience of the walk to Arail Ghat depends on your fitness level - but honestly was not bad at all. We covered the distance without realizing - thanks to our well informed super guide Raj Dubey whose narration of the significance of this place and event kept us mesmerized. - Next day we even got to see the Akharas and attempted to get into the Hanumān temple. All this by exploring through the city by having 10 cars driving back to back. This takes much coordination- and again thanks to Raj Dubey’s work with all drivers and us that we were able to do this together. All in all, a blessed fulfilling visit. What we learned is the key thing to remember for such one of a kind and once in a lifetime kind of festivals is that nothing - literally nothing can be predicted! With the crowds that come in, everything changes by the minute. Patience and communication are key. The former we made sure to have :) and the latter the Kumbh village was phenomenal about. A special mention to Swati here who helped us put all this together and Varun who was managing the front reception and all guests non-stop! Kudos truly. Both were very responsive and most of all honest about what was possible and not. Which we appreciated very much. Any and all feedback was very well received. Last but not the least, even beyond what one maybe able to facilitate, experience or not - what shines through is intent. And the intent of Kumbh Village to provide their guests the best possible experience is clear and obvious. In addition, I can’t help but add - for all who may be heading there for this last part of Maha Kumbh - A mention and shout out to all our govt officials and each one in the organizational team for the stellar work b

Worst Stay Ever….No comittment. They charged us for Boat and when we reached they said we can’t do anything you have to manage on your own, finally we could not do Snan at Triveni Ghat as we did not get the boats. Huge Disappointment. They charged us Rs. 37760/- for a room and are using Taj name for fooding to cover all the Bad things. Linen and Blankets are of Super low quality, Food is Ok but not to Taj Standards. Most important the Behaviour of the Staff. No Co-Operation in anything, just don’t trust on their words and committment.

Poor hospitality and behaviour. even on pre-booking when you will reach there they will not take any responsibility of the bookings they confirm or mention in their brochure or website The staff and even the owner Mr. Anil Agarwal started to fight with us when we complained of not fulfilling his commitments. Will highly suggest to look for other better options who can keep their commitments.

recently we stayed at kumbh village to take holy bath at sangam during kumbh mela. reception staff and helping persons around tents were marvellous. they were vey sweet, pro and humble. tea in compound by maurya was great . our stay was good but certainly lack the hype they create in pics and amenities provided. though its cold but during day it was very hot so at least fan is required to be in tent which was not. there is no proper table / rack etc to keep luggage . light was more then poor and practically you cant even set your suitcase etc . reading is impossible . food was from Taj but it was just ok and nothing like variety and quality and not value for money. these lacunae are required to be improved .

We enjoyed the stay and food. The best part was that with the help of their tour guide we could attend amrut snan on vasant panchmi and also akhara visit. This experience was unique and they had arranged it well. Eventhough there was tension but with their team it was a once in a lifetime experience as we could attend the procession.
