Haridwar -Rishikesh-Dehradun-Mussoorie: 6 Days in Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand is popularly known as Devbhoomi or Land of the Gods. And perhaps one of the most frequently visited circuit in Uttarakhand (especially Garhwal region) is Haridwar -Rishikesh-Dehradun-Mussoorie. The easy accessibility of Haridwar and Dehradun from Delhi, make it an easy weekend getaway.

However, even after living in Delhi for more than a decade, I planned this trip from Bangalore. And it was a memorable experience, which I would love to remember forever, and also share with those who are planning this trip.

The Itinerary

Dehradun Airport - Jolly grant

We took a direct indigo flight from Bangalore to Dehradun. Our stay was in Rishikesh and luckily the Dehradun airport is closer to Rishikesh than Dehradun.

The road from airport to Rishikesh

H7 Stay on the Ganges

Our stay was in H7 Stay on the Ganges . The location is superb in terms of natural beauty. However, the last 100 m of the road to the resort is non existent, and after dark, it is a bit difficult to reach.

First view from room balcony

Our plan was to visit Triveni Ghat for Arti on our first day. But the arti takes place around 6.25 in the end of March. And we reached around 6. So we dropped the idea and just strolled around the Lakshman Jhula area, had dinner at Rawat restaurant, sat on Sai Ghat near our hotel(very calm and serene with less crowd), had maggi at a tiny stall near the ghat and came back.

Triveni Ghat

On our second day, we made a day trip to Haridwar. Our first stop was at Har ki Pauri for a holy dip in the Ganges. There are changing rooms along the river for the ease of pilgrims. There is a 10 min walk from where the taxi left us till the ghat. Rickshaws were charging Rs. 100 to drop us there but the walk is short.

After the dip, we went for lunch. We were recommended Mohan Halwai for kachoris but we didn't try because we wanted a light lunch. We went to Mansa Devi ropeway but the queue for the ropeway was more than 3 hours long. If you are planning to visit Chandi Devi and Mansa Devi, plan your trip early morning when the heat is less and so is the crowd. Around 5.30 we took our seats for Ganga Arti. The Arti took place around 6.30 but at 5.30, the ghat was full and we got a place quite far away from the actual spectacle.

We left the ghat a little before the crowd started coming out because frankly, such a huge crowd was a little scary, especially with a toddler and an elderly person.

But the view of Har Ki Pauri at night is mesmerizing and it's a must visit!

Finally we called it a day and took an auto(big one) back to Rishikesh for Rs. 800.

Our third day started early with a 6 am safari from the Chila gate of Rajaji National park. We didn't really find too many animals except 3 varieties of deer(Sambhar, spotted and barking). However the chase for tigers and elephants and the early morning view of the forest was amazing!!

After the safari, we went back to the hotel to relax and enjoy this view.

We went out to explore Rishikesh in the afternoon, and our first stop was Ram Jhula which we crossed on foot. An auto to Ram Jhula takes Rs. 20 per person or Rs. 200 if you book the whole thing.

On the other side of Ram Jhula, we visited Swarg Ashram, Geeta Bhawan, the statue of Lord Shiva facing the ghat, and Parmarth Niketan Ashram. A little further(800m) on the same route would have taken us to Beatles Ashram, but we were tired, and with a toddler in tow we didn't really feel like visiting.

So we went back across the Ram Jhula, took a foot massage at Chakra and then went to chill at Beatles Cafe near Lakshman Jhula. The cafe has beautiful views and their burger and drinks were very good.

Lakshman Jhula

Beatles ashram, swarg ashram, geeta bhawan, parmarth niketan ashram, beatles cafe.

Finally, after sunset we called it a day and trudged back to our hotel, tired but happy.

Our next 2 nights were booked in Mall Palace Mussoorie. But before we left, we spent some time at the white sand beach just below our hotel. The water was ice cold, but the view was stunning!

It took us around 3 hours to reach Mussoorie. We were dropped at Picture Palace because Library Chowk was closed. From there we hired a porter to drop us till Mall Palace.

We were planning to go to Gun Hill via ropeway, but it started raining cats and dogs. I've been to Gun Hill before with friends, when we dressed in traditional pahadi outfits for photos, looked through the telescope at the view and bought souvenirs.

In the evening we had devil's momo at Kalsang which is their most famous dish.

Finally after a walk on mall road we called it a day.

We woke up to a gloomy rainy morning and the rain continued through the day. So we could not visit anywhere in Mussoorie. Otherwise the plan was to visit Kempty falls in the morning, and then leave for Landour. On my last visit to Mussoorie, we spent a long time in Company Garden(quite beautiful) so I didn't want to visit there again. But we ended up going to just one more cafe-tea totaler. I have become an ardent fan of their hot chocolate. Their pizza is also superb!!

We were disappointed to leave Mussoorie without exploring. Our flight was in the evening so we decided to explore Robber's cave in Dehradun. It is a unique place, where water flows through a gap between rocks, and it gives a feel of river caving and crossing.

Next we visited Sahastradhara, which is famous for its Sulphur spring and multi-tiered waterfall. It was located in a serene place. On my last visit here, we had visited FRI which I'd highly recommend if you are spending time in Dehradun.

Finally we had lunch at a dhaba near the airport, and then boarded our evening flight back to Bangalore.

The trip came to an end but the memories will last forever because it was such an eventful trip, with a huge variety in landscape, attractions and food.

Haridwar in Uttarakhand: Essential Travel Guide

What to Know when Visiting Holy Haridwar

Exotica.im/Getty Images

Haridwar, "the Gateway to God", is one of the oldest living cities and one of the seven holiest places in India. (The others are Varanasi/Kashi , Kanchipuram, Ayodhya, Ujjain , Mathura, and Dwarka). Hindu gods are believed to have incarnated at these places various avatars. For Hindus, a pilgrimage to Haridwar will provide liberation from the endless cycle of death and rebirth.

The area around the Ganga River is made up of a fascinating and colorful collection of sadhus (holy men), pundits (Hindu priests), pilgrims, guides, and beggars. Every evening, the river comes alive with the magic of the aarti (worship with fire), as lamps are lit, prayers are offered, and small candles are floated down the river. A visit to this holy city will give you great insight into some of what makes India tick.

History and Mythology

Haridwar's long history can be traced all the way back to ancient Hindu texts such as the Rig Veda and The Mahabharata . During that time it was also referred to as Gangadwara, the gate of the Ganga River (where it descends from the mountains to the plains).

Hindu mythology says that a king named Bhagiratha brought the Ganga River to earth, with the help of Lord Shiva, to remove a curse and purify the ashes of his ancestors so they could go to heaven. Apparently, Lord Shiva released the river from his hair at Haridwar.

Sacred Har ki Pauri ghat is believed to have been built in the 1st century BC by Emperor Vikaramaditya in memory of his brother, Bharthari, who came to Haridwar to meditate by the river and passed away there. Legend has it that Lord Vishnu came and left his footprint on a stone wall at Har ki Pauri, giving rise to its name meaning "Footsteps of God".

Haridwar sits alongside the Ganga (Ganges) River near Rishikesh , at the base of the Shivalik mountain range in Uttarakhand.

How to Get There

Trains from major cities all over India stop at Haridwar on their way to Dehradun. For those coming from Delhi to Haridwar , it takes a minimum of four hours to get there by train or six hours by road.

The nearest airport is Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of Haridwar. Travel time from the airport to Haridwar is about an hour. Expect to pay 1,500-2,000 rupees upwards for a private taxi, depending on the type of vehicle. Shubh Yatra Travels offers a reliable service that you can book in advance. Taxis are available at the airport. However, demand is high during peak season and drivers may quote inflated prices.

The best time to visit Haridwar is from October to March. Summers, from April to July, get very hot in Haridwar. Temperatures hover around 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). The clean water of the Ganges is really refreshing though, and May to June is regarded as peak season. The monsoon season , from July to September, is unsuitable to taking a dip in the Ganges as the river bank becomes unstable and currents are strong because of the rain. Winters, from November until February, get cold during the night. As a result, the water is chilly, but there's also mist in the air which makes Haridwar particularly scenic at that time of year.

The most famous festival to take place at Haridwar is the Kumbh Mela , held there once every 12 years. It draws tens of millions of pilgrims who come to bathe in the Ganges and be absolved of their sins. The next Kumbh Mela will be held in Haridwar in 2021.

In addition, many other religious Hindu festivals are celebrated in Haridwar. Some of the most popular ones are the Kanwar Mela (July or August) devoted to Lord Shiva, Somwati Amavasya (July), Ganga Dussehra (June), Kartik Poornima (November), and Baisakhi (April).

Haridwar's top attractions are its temples (particularly Mansa Devi temple , where the wish fulfilling goddess resides), ghats (steps leading down to the river), and Ganga River. Take a holy dip and cleanse your sins.

The city's iconic Ghanta Ghar (clock tower) at Har ki Pauri ghat was recently given a new look as part of the Haridwar Mural Project , which aims to explore unconventional canvases for public art. The project is being undertaken by art retailer Mojarto in association with Namami Gange (an initiative for the rejuvenation and preservation of the Ganga River). The painting of the clock tower, by artist Harshvardhan Kadam (who led the Pune Street Art Project), is based on the scriptures and theories of the Viman Shastra . It blends Indian mythology with contemporary art. Haridwar's new Chandi Ghat has also been decorated with a colorful turtle and ocean scene , painted by celebrated Mexican artist Senkoe. It signifies how the cleaning of the river and ghats is bringing wildlife back.

As the sun sets, head to Har ki Pauri ghat to witness the captivating Ganga Aarti (prayer ceremony) at around 6-7 p.m. every night depending on the time of year. Fiery lamps combined with the chanting of mantras , clanking of bells and enthusiastic crowd, is very powerful and moving.

Daksha Mahadev temple, the oldest temple in the area, also has some intriguing evening rituals. According to legend, Lord Shiva's first wife Sati jumped into the holy fire and died there, in response to her father spurning him.

If you're interested in Ayurvedic medicine , you'll find many roots and shrubs that are grown in the Himalayas readily available there.

Bara Bazaar, on Railway Road between Har ki Pauri and Upper Road, is a popular area to shop. It has all sorts of brass items, religious items, and Ayurvedic medicines. A bit further along, Moti Bazaar on Upper Road towards the north of the canal, is Haridwar's main market area. It offers a wide variety of inexpensive goods as well.

Where to Stay

Haridwar is quite spread out and hotels are all about location, location! There are plenty of options but you'll want to stay somewhere along the river to really enjoy and appreciate Haridwar. These Haridwar hotels for all budgets are all well-positioned and decent.

Where to Eat

The food in Haridwar is mostly vegetarian, and alcohol is banned in the city as it's a holy place.

Chotiwala, at Subhash Ghat, is renowned for its thalis (platters) . Bhagwati's Chhole Bhature, on the way to Mansa Devi Temple, is a popular breakfast joint for those who want to fill up on this iconic dish. Mohan Ji Puri Wale, near the police chowki at Har Ki Pauri, is the best place to go for aloo (potato) puri . The sweet ghee items at Mathura Walo ki Pracheen Dukan, near Thanda Kuan Moti Bazaar, always draw a crowd. Hoshiyar Puri, on Upper Road, serves yummy north Indian vegetarian cuisine at reasonable prices (the daal makhani and paneer masala are signature dishes). For somewhere more fancy, head to Ksheer Sagar at Pilibhit House, Ramghat.

Rajaji National Park offers unspoiled natural beauty only 10 kilometers (six miles) from Haridwar. Its eco-system is estimated to be 10 million years old, and a diverse range of wildlife can be seen there, including elephants.

Those keen to learn more about yoga and Ayurveda can visit Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Yogpreeth , at Bahadrabad near Haridwar. This interesting educational institution aims to link ancient wisdom with modern science.

Many people visit Rishikesh as a side trip as well. Although it's only less than an hour from Haridwar, the vibe is very different there. Haridwar is popular with Hindu pilgrims, who come to cleanse their sins. Rishikesh attracts foreigners who come to study yoga and spend time at its many ashrams.
