Har Ki Pauri is a famous ghat located on the banks of the Ganges River. The evening aarti here is a beautiful experience, where hundreds of diyas are set adrift on the river as an offering to the gods. The entire atmosphere is sanctified with the chanting of mantras and hymns. The place is also great for taking a dip in the Ganges.
Mansa Devi Temple is one of the most visited shrines in Haridwar. It can be reached by either trekking up the hill or taking the cable car. The temple is dedicated to Mansa Devi, who is believed to grant wishes to her devotees. The temple complex has many small shops and eateries for refreshments.
Haridwar has a lot of holy places to explore. If you want to extend your stay, you can visit Daksheswara Mahadev Temple, Chandi Devi Temple or take a dip in the Ganges. You can also take a walk around the markets for local shopping and indulge in the street food. If you have less time, you can choose one place instead of both and plan accordingly.
