Start your day at the Har Ki Pauri Ghat, the most famous ghat in Haridwar, located on the banks of the river Ganges. Enjoy the serene atmosphere and take a dip in the holy river. Witness the famous Ganga Aarti in the evening as the sun sets and the priests perform a ritual to the river. Take a walk along the ghats and visit the nearby temples.
Experience the beauty of nature at the Rajaji National Park. Go on a jungle safari early in the morning to spot tigers, elephants, leopards, and various species of birds. Spend the afternoon hiking through the park's lush forests and take in the stunning views of the Himalayas. End your day with a picnic by the river or a refreshing dip in one of the many natural pools in the park.
Other attractions to consider in Haridwar are the Chandi Devi Temple, Mansa Devi Temple, and the Shantikunj Ashram. If you have some spare time, take a side trip to Rishikesh, located 20 km from Haridwar, to explore its many temples, yoga centers, and adventure sports. To maximize your fun, try some local street food, such as aloo puri, kachori, and jalebi. Don't forget to take some holy water and souvenirs from the local markets.
