Start your day at Har Ki Pauri Ghat, one of the most popular and sacred bathing ghats in Haridwar. Witness the morning aarti as the sun rises and the priests chant prayers in honor of the River Goddess Ganga.
Take a relaxing dip in the holy waters of the River Ganga at Vishnu Ghat. This lesser-known ghat provides a more peaceful and serene experience compared to Har Ki Pauri Ghat.
Head to Patanjali Yogpeeth, a spiritual and wellness center dedicated to the practice of yoga and Ayurveda. Take a yoga class, meditate, or visit the Ayurvedic clinic for a holistic approach to relaxation and healing.
Visit the tranquil Sapt Rishi Ashram, located in a serene forest and home to seven legendary sages who meditated here. Take a peaceful walk around the gardens, enjoy the fresh air and the sound of birds chirping.
Enjoy lunch at Chotiwala, a popular restaurant in Haridwar known for its delicious and affordable vegetarian food. Try the thali, a platter of rice, chapati, vegetables, and lentils.
Embark on a safari at Rajaji National Park, home to tigers, elephants, leopards, and other wildlife. Explore the lush forests, grasslands, and rivers of this protected reserve, and spot a variety of animals in their natural habitat.
End your day at Parmarth Niketan Ashram, a spiritual retreat and training center located on the banks of the River Ganga. Attend the evening aarti, a beautiful and peaceful ceremony that honors the five elements of nature.
If you have more time, you can visit some of the other ashrams and temples in Haridwar, such as Daksheswara Mahadev Temple, Maya Devi Temple, and Bharat Mata Mandir. If you have less time, you can skip the safari and spend more time at the ashrams and ghats. Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and footwear, bring a water bottle and sunscreen, and respect the local customs and traditions.
