Uttar Pradesh recorded over 137 crore domestic tourists and 3.66 lakh foreign tourists in 2025, becoming India's most visited state for domestic travelers and fourth for foreign visitors. The Mahakumbh 2025 in Prayagraj, drawing over 66 crore devotees, was a major contributor. The state government attributes this success to extensive renovation of religious and historical sites, development of tourism infrastructure, and improved connectivity, aligning with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision. Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Mathura are highlighted as key tourism hubs.
