Tents & camps

Organised tent cities, ranging from basic dormitory tents to serviced "Swiss cottage" tents with attached bathrooms, are the most common stay for the festival period.

Dharamshalas & ashrams

Low-cost, simple accommodation run by religious trusts, popular with pilgrims observing Kalpavas.

Hotels & guesthouses

Standard hotel stays in the wider city, further from the ghats but with more consistent amenities and easier year-round booking.
