Exploring Haridwar, Rishikesh, Kedarnath and Mana in One Day

    15 minutes (5 miles) from Rishikesh

    Witness the mesmerizing and spiritual Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, which is considered the most sacred Ghat in India. Aarti is performed every day at sunset and sunrise, but the evening Aarti is particularly mesmerizing with hundreds of diyas floating in the river, chants, and bells.

  2. 9:00AM: Neer Garh Waterfall, Rishikesh
    1 hour 30 minutes (20 miles) from Har Ki Pauri, Haridwar

    Located in the outskirts of Rishikesh, Neer Garh Waterfall is a spectacular cascading waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. The trek to the waterfall is a bit challenging but worth the effort. Take a refreshing dip in the cool water and enjoy the serene surroundings.

    Located in the Himalayas, Kedarnath Temple is one of the holiest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is accessible by a 16 km trek from Gaurikund, which takes around 5-6 hours depending on your fitness level. The trek is strenuous, but the scenic beauty of the Himalayas makes it worth it.
