Haridwar Travel

Haridwar is as ancient as time according to Hindu mythology and lies on the right bank of the holy Ganga. The gateway to the Gods is considered to be one of the seven sacred Indian cities. Besides being the doorway to four major Hindu pilgrimages – Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri – Haridwar is also the gateway to the four “Char Dhams”.

Located in northern India in the western state of Uttarakhand, Haridwar is home to more than 300,000 people including Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, and Christians who live peacefully in this holiest city of the state. 

As Ganga emerges from the mountains into the planes, Haridwar is one of the first towns as she touches the surface. That’s why the water here is so clear and cool. Lush green forests and small ponds complete this holy region’s breathtaking scenery.

At the foothills of the Shivalik mountains in the Himalayas, a thriving city boasts the Goddess Ganga flowing through it. Bathing in this river allows you to be freed from death’s eternal cycle as well as wash away your sins. In Hindu tradition, Haridwar has held a special place in the hearts of Hindus from time immemorial due to its religious and historical significance.
