Devotees visiting the Maha Kumbh 2025 now have an easier way to reach the sacred Triveni Sangam. A new helicopter service has been launched, allowing pilgrims to fly directly from Prayagraj Airport to Triveni Sangam. This service is a joint effort by the Uttar Pradesh Eco Tourism Development Board and Fly Ola, making travel more convenient and hassle-free for visitors.
A Smooth Journey from Sky to River
With this helicopter service, pilgrims can enjoy a scenic aerial view of the Maha Kumbh before landing at a special helipad near Triveni Sangam. From there, boat transfers arranged by the boat club will take them directly to the Sangam for their holy dip. This service is especially beneficial for elderly and disabled devotees, ensuring that everyone can participate in the spiritual gathering without any physical strain.
Package Details and Cost
The complete pilgrimage package costs ₹35,000 per person. This price includes:
Helicopter ride to and from Prayagraj Airport
Boat transfer to Triveni Sangam
A hassle-free spiritual experience without the need for long walks or hotel bookings
Fly Ola Group CEO R.S Sehgal highlighted the convenience of this service, saying,
"Rides are continuing. Without booking a hotel, you can take a bath and reach your destination in 4-5 hours. For ₹35,000, the entire responsibility is ours."
