Hey everyone,

I’m planning a trip to Ujjain + Omkareshwar in late June and wanted feedback from people who’ve done a similar trip. Main priorities are decent weather, manageable crowds, and covering temples properly without rushing too much.

Current Itinerary

Day 1 (22 June)

• Train from Delhi to Ujjain
• Reach Ujjain around 7 PM
• check-in at hotel
• Mahakal Lok corridor night visit

Day 2 (23 June) – Ujjain

• Reach Mahakaleshwar around 12:30 AM for Bhasma Aarti (im aware of booking tickets beforehand)
• Bhasma Aarti / Darshan till ~6:30 AM

After bhasma aarti and mahakaleshwar temple walk around:

1. Kaal Bhairav Mandir (going early to avoid later crowd)
2. 24 Khamba Mata Mandir
3. Harsiddhi Mata Temple
4. Breakfast / Rest (around 11 am)

Afternoon / Evening:
6. Sandipani Ashram
7. Mangalnath Temple
8. Sthir Man Ganesh Temple
9. Gadkalika Temple
10. Bhartrihari Caves

-> Ram Ghat evening aarti

Day 3 (24 June)

• Checkout from Ujjain (10 am)
• Bus to Omkareshwar (~5 hrs assumed)
• Check-in there
• Evening boat ride / Narmada ghat walk / bridge walk
• Relax

Day 4 (25 June) – Omkareshwar

• Morning Aarti at Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga
• Then:

1. Mamleshwar Temple
2. Gauri Somnath Temple
3. Siddhanath Temple
4. Vishnu Temple / nearby shrines
5. Explore / Parikrama

• Leave for Indore around 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
• Train from Indore in evening (around 4 pm)

Questions

1. Is this itinerary realistically feasible or too packed?
2. For Ujjain local travel, should we use e-rickshaws/autos or rent a scooty?
3. If scooty is better, any trusted rental contacts/services in Ujjain?
4. Is going to Kaal Bhairav right after Mahakal a smart move crowd-wise?
5. Any temple/time optimizations you’d suggest? in which temple prasad is allowed or not?

We’re 2 people traveling together.

Would appreciate practical advice from anyone who has done this recently. Thanks!

I phrased my itinerary with the help of chatgpt and watched many youtube videos.
