Quick answer: Haridwar Ardh Kumbh 2027 runs from 14 January (Makar Sankranti) to 20 April 2027 (Chaitra Purnima), with eleven bathing days at Har Ki Pauri. The official Haridwar Kumbh website marks four as Amrit Snans: 6 March, 8 March, 15 March (Dev Doli) and 14 April, the main Amrit Snan. House of Ullassa plans Haridwar and Rishikesh pilgrimages around these dates.
Haridwar Ardh Kumbh 2027 brings devotees, saints and akharas to the banks of the Ganga for holy bathing, worship and spiritual gatherings. For travellers, choosing the right bathing occasion is the first step. A pilgrimage during a principal Amrit Snan needs different planning from a visit focused on temple darshan, Ganga Aarti and time in Haridwar and Rishikesh.

Which Dates Are Amrit Snans?
The April 2026 announcement named 6 March, 8 March and 14 April 2027 as Amrit Snans. The official website now adds 15 March, Dev Doli, as a fourth, and calls 14 April the main Amrit Snan. Some akhara calendars still list three, so House of Ullassa checks the final akhara programme before fixing your bathing day.
Dev Doli Snan and the Rishikesh Procession
In Uttarakhand, a dev doli is the palanquin in which a village deity is carried in procession. The mela administration has announced a procession of dev dolis from across the state in Rishikesh on 14 March 2027, followed by their holy bath in the Ganga at Haridwar on 15 March (Dainik Tribune, October 2026).
To see both, stay in Rishikesh on 14 March and move to Haridwar for 15 March. House of Ullassa plans the transfer and confirms the procession route and timings once they are announced.
Where to Experience the Pilgrimage
Har Ki Pauri is the central bathing ghat in Haridwar. During the mela, follow the instructions of the authorities on designated bathing areas.
An extended journey gives time for Haridwar’s temples and the evening Ganga Aarti, followed by Rishikesh. Keep bathing, temple visits and aarti viewing as separate parts of the itinerary rather than fitting everything into one day. Read Varanasi, Haridwar or Rishikesh: which Ganga Aarti to see first and explore our Ganga Aarti tours.
House of Ullassa also arranges private Ganga Aarti ceremonies for groups in Haridwar and Rishikesh, subject to local permissions and availability.
Planning for Families and Senior Travellers
Choose travel dates according to the occasion you wish to attend and the comfort of your group with crowds. Principal bathing days need particular attention to hotel location, walking distances and rest periods.
For senior travellers, share mobility requirements when you enquire. House of Ullassa plans hotel access, meals, transfer points and assistance around them; see our senior citizen tours. Expect some walking, security checks and waiting on major bathing days.
Avoid planning a bathing visit just before a fixed train or flight. Allow extra time for changing, returning to the hotel and reaching the departure point.
