Itinerary Details

Day 1: Arrival at Delhi - Transfer to Haridwar

Upon your arrival and meet and greet with our representative in Delhi, you will be transferred to Haridwar by road. Haridwar is a famous pilgrimage holy city that has religious signi cance, as this is the point where the holy Ganges (after completing its course of 310 kms - from its source at Gaumukh) emerges from the Himalayas to begin its slow progress into the Indo-Gangetic plains in North India for the rst time in Haridwar. The main ghat 'Har ki Pauri' (footsteps of God) is supposedly the precise spot where this happens. Thus the river's power to wash away sins at this spot is superlative and endorsed by a footprint of Vishnu left on a stone here.
