🚫 Common Tourist Mistakes in Ujjain (and How to Avoid Them)
1. ⏰ Visiting Mahakaleshwar Without Proper Timing
- Mahakaleshwar Temple is super crowded specially on weekends, Mondays and festival days.
- If you come without planning, you might have to stand 3–4 hours in line!
✔️ Solution:
Book your darshan ticket online or reach very early (before 5 AM!).
We can also help arrange special darshan passes. Call us!
2. 🚫 Missing Bhasm Aarti Because of Late Booking
- Bhasm Aarti is the most famous ritual at Mahakaleshwar Temple.
- But tickets are limited and online booking closes fast.
✔️ Solution:
Book your Bhasm Aarti 2–3 days before your visit.
Need help? We arrange Bhasm Aarti booking too — 7201092290.
3. 🚕 Not Pre-Booking Taxi or Auto
- Finding taxi or auto at last minute, specially after temple visit or at odd hours, can be tough.
- Prices may be very high too.
✔️ Solution:
Always pre-book your taxi or auto for darshan, ghats and sightseeing.
We offer full day and half day taxi services.
4. 🍲 Eating Street Food Without Checking Cleanliness
- Ujjain is famous for street food — but hygiene matters.
- Eating from wrong place can upset your stomach.
✔️ Solution:
Choose busy stalls where food is hot and fresh.
Or ask locals (or us!) for clean, trusted food spots.
5. 💼 Carrying Big Bags Inside Temples
- Big bags, cameras, leather items are mostly not allowed inside temples.
- You may waste time finding locker or arguing with guards.
✔️ Solution:
Carry small sling bag with only essentials (phone, small wallet, water).
6. 💸 Forgetting to Keep Cash
- Many shops, pooja items stalls, and small eateries still prefer cash.
- ATMs sometimes run out of cash in festival season.
✔️ Solution:
Keep some small cash notes always with you.
7. 📸 Taking Photos Without Permission
- Temples like Mahakaleshwar don’t allow photography inside.
- Some locals also don’t like being clicked suddenly.
✔️ Solution:
Always ask before clicking people. Follow temple rules.
8. 🛕 Rushing Only for Mahakal, Ignoring Other Places
- Ujjain has many spiritual gems like Harsiddhi Temple, Kal Bhairav Temple, Sandipani Ashram, Ram Ghat.
- Many tourists just visit Mahakal and leave!
✔️ Solution:
Plan a full one or two day trip to explore whole spiritual Ujjain.
We can suggest best plans too!
