Same Day Tour from Noida Airport to Haridwar and Rishikesh

Overview

One of Uttarakhand's most picturesque cities, Haridwar is on the banks of the sacred Ganga River. Haridwar, often referred to as the Gateway to God, is known for its numerous sacred temples and ghats. A major draw for tourists visiting Haridwar is the sacred ghats that line the riverbank. As far back as Hinduism goes, a plunge in one of the sacred rivers—often the Ganges—near the ghats is believed to wash away sins and bring about moksha. One of the greatest things you can do is book a same-day tour from Noida Airport to Haridwar and Rishikesh.

Itinerary

06:00 AM: Pickup from Noida Airport

Our driver will pick you up and take you to Haridwar in four hours. At Har ki Pauri, you will begin your journey. As one of the holiest Ghats in the nation, Har Ki Pauri is said to be the spot where the Ganga River first reaches the lowlands after flowing untainted by the Himalayas. As the name suggests, this ghat is also called the Brahma Kund, and it is here that devotees may see the footprint of Vishnu on a stone. The next stop is at Bilwa Tirath, also known as the Mansa Devi Temple, which is said to grant the wishes of its worshippers and bestow blessings. Among Haridwar's Panch Tirath, or five hegira places, you'll find this one. The Siddh Peeth triangle, which includes Mansa Devi, Chandi Devi, and Maya Devi, culminates in this temple.

Rishikesh

We will also explore two of Rishikesh's bridges. The famous hanging bridge over the sacred Ganga River, Lakshman Jhula, comes first. This 450-foot-long Jhula stands at a height of 70 feet over the river, approximately three kilometers from Rishikesh's central town. On the opposite side of the Ganga River in Rishikesh is the Ram Jhula, an iron Parallax Bridge. The more recent bridge, Ram Jhula, is named after Lord Ram, who is Lakshman's brother. The Beatles Ashram, Ma Anandamayee Ashram, Sapt Rishi Ashram, Gita Bhavan, Swarg Ashram, Parmath Niketan Temple, and Sivananda Ashram may be visited after a self-funded lunch at a nearby restaurant.

6:00 PM–7:00 PM: Ganga Aarti

You will attend the Ganga Aarti in Haridwar as the sun goes down. Witnessing the aarti that began some decades ago at Har ki Pauri on the Ganga ghats in Haridwar draws thousands of devotees from all walks of life. Witnessing the enduring tradition is a remarkable sight. On the other side of the banks, you can observe the priests lighting the lights in a clockwise pattern while singing hymns to Mother Ganga. Following the completion of the ceremony, worshippers will seek the Goddess's favor and cleansing by raising their hands to their foreheads while cupping them over the flame. We will drop you off at your hotel or Noida airport around 10 PM.
