Haridwar

Haridwar is where the Ganges first meets the plains and where the most powerful Ganga Aarti fire ceremony in India takes place each evening on the Har Ki Pauri ghat. It’s a natural pair with Rishikesh, just upstream, and both cities feature in our 6 day Golden Triangle with Rishikesh tour.

Haridwar sits at the northern tip of the classic Golden Triangle circuit, from here, a half-day drive brings you south to Delhi, and from Delhi the full heritage trail through Agra and Jaipur awaits. Browse our complete India tour packages to find the itinerary that fits your travel dates.
