Itinerary
Haridwar
480 min
At 5 am, your English-speaking driver will pick you up and head for Haridwar, which is about a 5-hour drive. Your first stop will be Har ki Pauri. Trusted to be one of the holiest Ghats in the country, Har Ki Pauri is supposedly the first place where Ganga touches the plains, leaving behind the pristine ranges of the Himalayas. The ghat is also known as the Brahma Kund, where you can view the stone which has an imprint of Lord Vishnu’s foot, as pointed out by the name.
Rishikesh
480 min
You will also explore two bridges in Rishikesh. First is Lakshman Jhula, the popular hanging bridge across the holy river Ganga. This 450 ft long and height of 70 ft and 3 kms away from Rishikesh. The other bridge is Ram Jhula on the river Ganga in Rishikesh. Ram Jhula is the newer bridge named after Lakshman’s brother, Lord Ram.
You can enjoy lunch (at your own expense) In the evening during sunset, you will visit Ganga Aarti at Haridwar. Thousands of sects visit the ghats of the Ganga at Har ki Pauri at Haridwar to witness the aarti that started several decades ago. It takes place on the other side of the banks where you will see the priests light up the lamps in a clockwise manner, accompanied by songs in praise of Mother Ganga. After the ritual is complete, devotees will cup their hands over the flame and raise their palms to their forehead in order to get the Goddess's purification and blessing. Finally, head back to New Delhi and get dropped at your hotel.

Long day but worth it
We were looking forward to crossing the experience off our bucket list and glad we went. The eight hour drive to and from was a bit much so if you can fly I would highly recommend. If not still invest in a long day and go.
