The upcoming Mahakumbh 2025 in Prayagraj is set to welcome not just millions of devotees but also a distinguished group of travel writers from Britain. Drawn by the sheer grandeur and spiritual significance of the event, these writers will visit on February 25-26 to experience and document the vibrant atmosphere of the Kumbh Mela, along with the cultural, historical, and religious heritage of Uttar Pradesh. Their journey is expected to bring global recognition to the state’s rich tourism potential.
Uttar Pradesh Tourism Minister Jayveer Singh emphasized the need to promote the state’s diverse tourism offerings to an international audience. He highlighted that inviting globally renowned travel writers and journalists is part of a broader effort to position Uttar Pradesh as a premier travel destination. Their firsthand experiences and published accounts will showcase the state’s unique blend of spirituality, history, and tradition to audiences across the world.
The government has made special arrangements to ensure that foreign visitors have a seamless and immersive experience. From comfortable accommodations to guided tours and digital information centers, every effort is being made to help them explore the depth of Indian culture. Various cultural programs will also be organized, offering an opportunity to witness the artistic and musical heritage of the region.
Beyond the Mahakumbh, the visiting travel writers will explore some of Prayagraj’s most iconic landmarks, including the Prayagraj Fort, Anand Bhawan, Akshayavat, Alfred Park, and the sacred Sangam. Their journey will extend beyond the city to other major destinations such as Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Lucknow, allowing them to experience the historical and spiritual essence of Uttar Pradesh.
This visit is expected to be a significant milestone in boosting tourism in the state. By capturing the essence of the Mahakumbh and the cultural wealth of Uttar Pradesh, these travel writers will help present the region to the world in a new light. The government hopes that through such initiatives, Uttar Pradesh will find its place among the top global tourism destinations, drawing travelers eager to experience its deep-rooted traditions, architectural marvels, and spiritual sanctuaries.
