What can be flown at the Kumbh?
- Private charter to the Kumbh city, for your group on your date, landing at an airport or a helipad cleared for the flight. It suits families with elders and groups short on time. See how a charter price is worked out.
- Joy rides and aerial darshan, short rides over the river and the Mela, run by operators with the administration's permission when and where it is given.
- Airport and VIP transfers from Jolly Grant (Haridwar), Ozar (Nashik) or Indore (Ujjain) to a helipad cleared near the Mela.
- Aerial filming and photography of the ghats and processions, with permissions arranged weeks ahead.
- Air ambulance transfers to a city hospital if a pilgrim falls ill.
Flying near a Mela needs the administration's permission, and the main bathing days are the most restricted, so charters are easiest on the days in between. Every flight depends on weather and permissions on the day, and every quote is given in writing for the route and date.
For the dates of all three Melas in one place, read Kumbh Mela 2027 and 2028 dates.
