In the evening, attend the Ganga Aarti ceremony at Triveni Ghat where you can witness the river's prayers with floating diyas.
For the perfect adrenaline-fuelled day, start with a bungee jumping experience from the 83-meter high platform. Afterward, swing like a bird with the Flying Fox. The afternoon can be spent relaxing at the Swarg Ashram, a serene location for yoga and meditation. In the evening, visit the Trimbakeshwar Temple, which houses the three-headed Lord Shiva and is illuminated during the aarti ceremony.
Start your day early with a trek to Kunjapuri Temple, located at an altitude of 1676 meters. The temple offers panoramic views of the Himalayas and is dedicated to Goddess Sati. The trek is approximately 8 km long and takes around 3-4 hours to complete. Afternoon can be spent exploring the Rajaji National Park, a wildlife reserve with 400 bird species and 40 tigers. End your day with a visit to the Parmarth Niketan Ashram, which offers aarti ceremony every evening on the banks of the Ganges.
