Set on the foothills of the Himalayas, Uttaranchal is a beautiful state famous for its picturesque hill stations and holy sites. Check the Corbett vacation package itinerary from Unique World Tours if you’d like to visit the state.
Upon your arrival at Delhi, our tour manager will welcome you and drive you to Haridwar. The journey takes around 4.5 hours and is loved for its scenic views. Check into the hotel and spend some time relaxing.
Haridwar translates to “The Gateway to Vishnu,” as this is where pilgrims start their Char Dham yatra. Interestingly, Shaivites call this place Hardwar, as Har means Shiva, while Vaishnavites call it Haridwar, with Hari meaning Vishnu.
The most auspicious place in Haridwar is the Har ki Pauri, which is believed to be the Ganges’ exit point from the mountains. From here, the Ganges enters the plains. It is called the Brahma Kund, as legend has it that this is where a drop of amrit fell on earth when Garuda was carrying the Elixir of Eternal Life after Sagar Manthan, or the Churning of the Ocean.
Spend the night in Haridwar.
Today, you will visit some of the major tourist attractions in Haridwar, including the Daksha Mahadev Temple, Ma Anandmayi Ashram, Parad Shivling, Mansa Devi Temple, Chandi Devi Temple, Pawan Dham, Maya Devi Temple, Parmath Niketan Ashram, Bhuma Niketan, Shanti Kunj, Bharat Mata Mandir, and the Saptarishi Ashram.
Later, you will proceed to Rishikesh. This holy city is situated at the confluence of the Ganga and the Chandrabhaga Rivers. Hindus believe that a dip in the Ganga river here washes all sins.
