Haridwar — Gateway to the Gods

One of India's Most Sacred Cities

Haridwar, meaning "Gateway to God", is one of the seven holiest places in Hinduism. Situated where the Ganges exits the Shivalik Hills, it has been a pilgrimage site for thousands of years.

From the soul-stirring Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri to the panoramic views from Mansa Devi Temple, from wildlife safaris in Rajaji National Park to the spiritual peace of ancient ashrams — Haridwar is a city of extraordinary depth.
