There is really a long list of precautions you need to take while selecting accommodation and planning your travel.
This can ensure lower rates and vacancy. Last minute booking on important bathing dates can be very tricky and exorbitant. Foremost is book a good accommodation month in advance.
Try to get your accommodation as centrally located as possible because activities start from crack of dawn to late night. If you are far off from the mela then getting out at 4 in the morning and making your way here may not be feasible.
On important days a lot of roads maybe blocked, and you may just have to walk a lot so a centrally located accommodation is worth it.
While you are away enjoying the Mela. It is important to keep your luggage and documents in safe zone. Choose well if you are opting for tented accommodations which are easily penetrable. Opt for prefabricated cottage or hotel accommodations for safety.
During Mela time, weather is extremely cold and foggy. Ensure the accommodation is waterproof, insulated and offer heating comfort.
While you will be out most of your time, it is important to look into service aspect of accommodation providers.
Beware of fraudulent operators or accommodation providers. Always book through experienced operator and converse couple of time before confirming the booking. Book directly through the accommodation owners.
Avoid eating out specially offered by strangers. Rely on food provided at your place of stay. Stay vegetarian while in Prayagraj.
Consider the hygiene mechanism and waste management. Especially human waste processing. Ensure accommodation has proper washrooms with drainage facilities.
