Best Time to Visit Ujjain

The best time to visit Ujjain is October to March, when days are pleasant and the early-morning Bhasma Aarti and ghat visits are comfortable. Mahashivratri (February or March) and the Shravan month (July–August) are the most spiritually significant times, but expect very large crowds and book stays well ahead.

April to June is hot, so keep sightseeing to mornings and evenings. The next Simhastha Kumbh is scheduled for 27 March to 27 May 2028; accommodation for that period will be in very high demand.
