India being one of the oldest civilizations of the world, each city of India represents its uniquely very own blend of traditions & cultures.

With respect to the traditions, exotic cultural colours and blend of aesthetics, Haridwar stands out and needs special mention. Haridwar, one of the most sacred cities of India, is a pilgrimage destination for the Hindu devotees and pilgrims. Being located on the banks of the River Ganga makes Haridwar holier.

Haridwar tour offers great opportunity to visit traditionally & religiously sacred places and shrines. Har Ki Pauri, a ghat on River Ganga and built by King Vikramaditya, is the most auspicious and famous place to visit in Haridwar. Har ki Pauri has a spot called Brahma Kund, the place where Amrit (Nectar – अमृत) fell while demons were chasing the gods. Brahma Kund, therefore, attracts devotees from across the world. A trip to Haridwar remains incomplete without attending evening Ganga Aarti on Har Ki Pauri. The sight of Har ki Pauri and River Ganga, illuminated with glittering earthen oil lamps (‘dipak’- दीपक), looks spectacular. Merely a kilometre from Har ki Pauri is Bhimgoda Kund, having a historical ancestry from the times of Mahabharata. It is that iconic spot where the Pandavas stopped to drink water on their way to the Himalayas. Bhima himself drew water from the rocks by thrusting hoof of his horse. Other famous ghats to explore in Haridwar are Gau Ghat and Vishnu Ghat.
