Begin your journey in Haridwar with a visit to Har Ki Pauri. It is considered one of the most sacred ghats in India, and a must-visit place for any Hindu devotee. Witness the holy river Ganges as it flows by in all its glory while listening to the hymns and mantras being chanted.
Visit the Chandi Devi Temple situated atop the Neel Parvat, one of the highest peaks in the Shivalik Range. The trek to the temple is fulfilling and the breathtaking view of the city from the top is worth the walk. Alternatively, you can take a cable car ride to the top.
Visit the Mansa Devi Temple known for fulfilling wishes of the devotees. The ropeway ride to the top is fascinating and offers a panoramic view of the city below. Witness the temple's beauty, architecture as well as its serene environs during your visit.
Visit the Rajaji National Park and indulge in an adventure with your family amidst nature. Home to the Bengal tiger, this park also houses over 400 bird species, making it a paradise for bird watchers. Spot other wildlife—the Asiatic Elephant, leopard and many more during your safari.
End your trip to Haridwar with a visit to the Maya Devi Temple located in the city centre. Witness the grandeur and beauty of this temple, which has a history of a thousand years. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Maya, who is also worshipped as an incarnation of Shakti.
If you have more time, you can visit other popular attractions in Haridwar, including the Patanjali Yogpeeth, Daksheswara Mahadev Temple, and the Bharat Mata Mandir. You can also take a dip in the holy river Ganges and participate in the Ganga Aarti ceremony held during sunset at Har Ki Pauri.
If you have less time, you can skip the safari at Rajaji National Park and visit the nearby temples. Additionally, combining the visits to Chandi Devi Temple and Mansa Devi Temple on the same day can help you save time and enjoy the cable car rides.
