So, I went to the Kumbh this year. I remember hearing about the great Kumbh many years ago, even before I started travelling. Then last month, Al Jazeera had a story on it beginning, so I booked quick 3 or 4 days there. Flew to Lucknow and had a driver take me down to Allahabad. It was spectacular.
