camp67 & Kumbh

We fell in love with Kumbh many years ago. There are very few events with such sheer scale and uniqueness in the world; one could go as far as to say there's very few such events in human history.

Why is that? Well, where else will you observe more than 140 million people converge at the same place, with their own, individual hopes and dreams? It's a truly mammoth event, but the beauty of it is less in the numbers, and more in what you see on the ground.

For starters: When you go to Kumbh you'll be greeted with countless small to medium sized meeting grounds on the banks of the Ganges River (just a short walk from our location at camp67) amid the tent cities which the city of Prayag Raj sets up before the event starts, and everywhere in between. It completely changes up your morning walk; you begin your loiter through the Kumbh grounds with one impression, and end it with your expectations completely reworked and perspective entirely shifted.

What does this tangibly look like? Spiritual leaders from all over India come together en masse. Naga Sadhus of varying kinds and backgrounds present themselves to the general public with the aid of a story. Families from rural villages hail here to seek blessings for a new beginning in life. The stories and experiences are countless.

One thing's for sure: You'll definitely leave Kumbh with a story of your own.
