Haridwar, one of the holiest city in Hinduism, offers a spiritual experience that cannot be described in mere words. Nestled on the banks of the holy river Ganga, this ancient city offers a plethora of experiences for visitors. So, here, I present the top 10 things to do in Haridwar that should not be missed when visiting this sacred city.
Boasting of breathtaking views, gorgeous Buddha statue, peaceful monastery, and enchanting prayer flags, Happy Valley has been an overlooked destination for many who visit Mussorie. It however is one of the most tranquil locations one would find in the whole hill station providing for uninterupted views of the Himalayas.
Hymns, chants, flowers, floating lamps and blazing torches, all come together, to create a perfect symphony, beautiful and borderline hypnotic. The Ganga Aarti, an ode to the mighty Ganges (Ganga), is held every evening, at the Har Ki Pauri Ghat of Haridwar, Uttarakhand.
Uttarakhand, a land blessed with immense natural beauty, religious sites and hiking trails, has forever been a go to spot for tourists across the world. Rishikesh, Haridwar, Mussorie, Nainital & Kedarnath, the state is a tourist’s dream destination.
Sadly however, it’s capital city Dehradun always been considered a stop over, despite housing some amazing offerings, that more than qualifies Dehradun to be seen as an independent travel destination.
