Haridwar and Rishikesh Tour Package – A Sacred Retreat to the Foothills of the Himalayas

Haridwar and Rishikesh exist as spiritual sanctuaries within the lower Himalayas where spiritual seekers and yoga practitioners along with nature enthusiasts find sanctuary. The Ganges river banks host these two towns which unite spiritual tranquility with historical traditions and sacred value with picturesque landscapes.

The combination of Haridwar and Rishikesh tour packages offers perfect weekend or spiritual 2-3 day escapes which reveal India’s deeper roots through its daily life rhythms beyond religious rituals.

Why Visit Haridwar and Rishikesh?

Both towns sit along the sacred Ganges River, yet each offers a different flavor of devotion and spiritual culture. Haridwar earns its reputation through its historic temples and its position as one of seven sacred Hindu cities. Rishikesh rests 25 kilometers upstream from Haridwar as a peaceful sanctuary that features ashrams together with yoga retreats and suspended bridges spanning across the river while forests encircle the area.

Together, they offer a complete experience—where Haridwar gives you sacred rituals, and Rishikesh invites you inward.

Haridwar and Rishikesh Travel Itinerary

A typical tour ranges from 2 to 3 days, depending on how deeply you want to experience both towns.

Day 1: Arrival and Spiritual Dive in Haridwar

Start your journey in Haridwar, a city that literally means “Gateway to God.” It's believed that drops of Amrit (nectar of immortality) fell here, making it one of the four locations of the Kumbh Mela.

Places to Visit in Haridwar:

Har Ki Pauri

This ghat is the spiritual center of Haridwar, where thousands gather every evening for the Ganga Aarti. The synchronized ringing of bells, the chanting of mantras, and the sight of floating lamps on the river is a soul-stirring experience.

Mansa Devi Temple

Perched atop Bilwa Parvat, this temple is accessible via ropeway or a steep climb. Devotees tie threads around trees here, praying for their wishes to be fulfilled.

Chandi Devi Temple

Another Shakti Peetha, located on the Neel Parvat, this temple is also accessible via cable car and offers panoramic views of Haridwar.

Daksha Mahadev Temple

An important pilgrimage site believed to be the site where Sati’s father, Daksha Prajapati, performed a yagna.

End your evening with the Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri—a ritual that brings together priests, pilgrims, and travelers in a spectacle of lights, music, and river worship.

Day 2: Drive to Rishikesh and Ashram Hopping

After breakfast, drive 45 minutes to Rishikesh. This peaceful town attracts spiritual seekers from around the world and has become a global hub for yoga and meditation.

Must-Visit Places in Rishikesh:

Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula

These two suspension bridges are iconic. Walk across and feel the gentle sway as the Ganga flows below you. These areas are filled with cafes, bookshops, ashrams, and temples.

Triveni Ghat

Another significant ghat for Ganga Aarti. It’s more peaceful than Haridwar and great for quiet reflection.

Parmarth Niketan Ashram
One of the largest ashrams in Rishikesh, it hosts the famous evening Ganga Aarti and offers yoga classes and satsangs open to all.

Beatles Ashram (Chaurasi Kutia)
A meditative and artistic retreat once visited by The Beatles in 1968. Now open to the public, the ashram features graffiti-filled walls and quiet forest paths.

Neelkanth Mahadev Temple

A temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, situated amidst the hills and forest. It’s a short trek or drive, perfect for those who want to combine pilgrimage with nature.

Evening in Rishikesh is magical—watch the sun set over the Ganges as you sip herbal tea in a riverside café or attend a calming yoga session.

Day 3: Optional Activities & Return

Use the final day for activities based on your interests:

Yoga & Meditation: Join a morning yoga class at a certified center.

River Rafting (Seasonal): For the adventurous, Rishikesh offers safe and thrilling rafting experiences from Shivpuri.

Shopping at Local Markets: Buy rudraksha malas, incense, organic products, and books on Indian philosophy.

Temple Visits: Explore lesser-known temples like Bharat Mandir or Raghunath Temple for a peaceful conclusion.

Return to Delhi, Haridwar station, or continue your journey to nearby destinations like Mussoorie or Dehradun.
