The grandeur and divinity of the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela 2025 are not only attracting pilgrims from across the country but also drawing the attention of foreign tourists and travel writers. In this context, a group of famous travel writers from Britain will visit the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, on 25^th – 26^th February. During this trip, the group will explore not only the Kumbh Mela but also other religious, historical, and cultural sites.

UP Tourism Minister Shri Jayveer Singh mentioned that Uttar Pradesh has immense tourism potential, but it needs to be promoted among foreign tourists. To achieve this, international-level travel writers and journalists are being invited to present the state's tourism sites on a global stage. The visit of the British travel writers is part of this effort, aimed at firmly establishing Uttar Pradesh’s cultural and religious heritage on the global tourism map.

Special plans have been prepared by the Tourism and Culture Department for foreign tourists during the Mahakumbh, so they can experience this unique event. The government is providing accommodation facilities, guide services, digital information centers, and organizing various cultural programmes to give foreign tourists the opportunity to connect with Indian culture and traditions.

The group of British travel writers will not only visit the Kumbh Mela but will also tour Prayagraj and other important sites. During this visit, they will explore sites such as the Prayagraj Fort, Anand Bhawan, Akshayavat, Alfred Park, and the Sangam area. Additionally, they will closely visit Uttar Pradesh's other major tourist destinations, including Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Lucknow, to witness the state’s historical and cultural heritage.

The visit of the British travel writers will be a significant milestone to promote tourism in the State. This visit will not only help showcase the grandeur of the Kumbh Mela to the world but also play an essential role in establishing Uttar Pradesh as a major global tourism destination. The government aims to ensure that Uttar Pradesh’s rich heritage, spiritual sites, and natural beauty are recognized internationally and the state is included among the top tourism destinations in the world.
