About this activity

Har-ki-Pauri: Known for the imprints of Lord Vishnu's feet, or 'Charan,' etched on the stone used in the construction of the upper wall of the dam, this is a sacred bathing spot. Here, the Ganga Aarti, a mesmerizing ceremony where the golden hues of countless floating lamps reflect on the Ganges, takes place. It's a spiritual experience to witness the twilight aarti at this iconic ghat.

Mansa Devi Temple: This temple is dedicated to the goddess Mansa Devi, believed to fulfill the wishes of her devotees. It offers a panoramic view of Haridwar, forming the holy triangle with Chandi Devi Temple and Maya Devi Temple.

From Haridwar, our journey continues to the quaint town of Rishikesh, nestled in the state of Uttarakhand. Rishikesh, often referred to as the 'Yoga Capital of the World,' is a place of immense spiritual significance. It is known as the gateway to the Himalayas and the starting point for the Char Dham Yatra, a holy pilgrimage to four sacred shrines.
