About Haridwar

Haridwar is one of Hinduism's seven holy cities, where the Ganges first meets the plains. The nightly Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri is among India's great spectacles, while cable cars glide up to the hilltop Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi temples. It pairs naturally with Rishikesh, just 45 minutes upstream.
