Maha Kumbh Mela 2025: Airfares Skyrocket as Millions Flock to Prayagraj

As the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 unfolds, airfares to Prayagraj have skyrocketed, with reports indicating increases of up to 600%. Flights from major cities like Delhi and Mumbai now cost between ₹20,000 and ₹60,000, a stark contrast to usual fares of around ₹5,000. Over 45 million devotees are expected to attend this spiritual gathering, particularly on the key bathing day of Mauni Amavasya on January 29. The DGCA has intervened, urging airlines to rationalize prices amid this unprecedented demand for travel.
