Haridwar, Rishikesh and Triveni Ghat Tour Itinerary
Your journey begins with your arrival in Haridwar, either by train or road. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel. After a brief rest, you’ll start your sightseeing tour of Haridwar, a city steeped in religious significance.
You will visit the Mansa Devi Temple, located on the Bilwa Parvat. Accessible by cable car or a trek up the hill, this temple is dedicated to the goddess Mansa Devi, who is believed to grant the wishes of devotees. The panoramic view from the temple is breathtaking.

In the afternoon, you will visit the Chandi Devi Temple, another famous hilltop shrine dedicated to Goddess Chandi. The temple, located on the Neel Parvat, can be reached by a cable car ride, which also offers stunning views of Haridwar and the Ganges.
Evening – Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri:
The evening is reserved for one of the most enchanting spiritual experiences—the Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri. Thousands of pilgrims gather here to witness the priests perform rituals and prayers as they offer fire, flowers, and lamps to the Ganges River. The sight of the flickering lamps floating on the river, accompanied by the sound of devotional hymns, creates an unforgettable atmosphere.
Night – Overnight Stay in Haridwar:
After the Aarti, you will return to your hotel for a relaxing overnight stay in Haridwar.
After breakfast, you will check out of your hotel in Haridwar and drive to Rishikesh, a serene town known for its ashrams, yoga centers, and spiritual retreats.
Upon arrival in Rishikesh, you will visit Triveni Ghat, where pilgrims gather for their early morning bath in the sacred Ganges. It is believed that a dip here washes away sins and purifies the soul.
Late Morning – Laxman Jhula & Ram Jhula:
After visiting Triveni Ghat, you’ll explore the famous Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula, two iconic suspension bridges that span the Ganges River. Walking across these bridges offers spectacular views of the river and the surrounding hills. You’ll also visit the nearby temples and ashrams, including the 13-storeyed Tera Manzil Temple, which is a prominent landmark in Rishikesh.
Afternoon – Visit Ashrams & Yoga Sessions:
Rishikesh is famous for its spiritual retreats and ashrams, such as the Parmarth Niketan Ashram and Sivananda Ashram. You will have the opportunity to participate in a yoga session at one of the ashrams, allowing you to connect with your inner self in a peaceful setting.
For those interested in adventure, you can also opt for river rafting on the Ganges, experiencing the thrill of navigating rapids while surrounded by scenic beauty.

After an early breakfast, you will embark on an excursion to the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple, located about 35 km from Rishikesh. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and holds great religious significance, especially because it is believed to be the place where Lord Shiva consumed the poison that turned his throat blue, hence the name Neelkanth (“blue throat”). The journey to the temple takes you through picturesque landscapes, forests, and scenic mountain views.
Late Morning – Explore the Temple and Surroundings:
Once at the temple, you’ll have time to explore the shrine and the beautiful surroundings.
