On this occasion thousands of people would arrive to participate in the celebrations and enjoy the sights of Nashik and its surrounding areas and well known tourist spots – this city used to once upon a time be known as a holy city of temples but, over the last half century, it has gradually transformed its look and is today one of the fast developing cities in Maharashtra.
Those who would arrive for the Kumbhmela would not just be pilgrims from far corners of the country but there would be the curious ones and they would come from foreign countries as they have been coming in the past.
Tourism websites have already set the ball rolling. As to the holy ones, they have their own sects and the administration is busy masking arrangement for their stay in specific sites or villages known as ‘sadhu gram’. And, in order to cater to these fresh inputs, the roads are being widened and new hotels are being built.
Regarding coming to Nashik – the city is well connected by road and rail. It has one of the longest flyovers in the country and air connectivity is also on the anvil. Hopefully it would become a reality by the time the real action kicks off.
