  • Haridwar, also spelt as Hardwar, literally means the Gateway to God’s land, and aptly so as from here one may take many treks to the Himalayas and trips to many other beautiful spots nestled in the Himalayas. Haridwar is among the seven holiest cities for the Hindus, and its social life is intimately linked to many religious rituals. The Ganges River flows alongside Haridwar, and Hindus come here from length and breadth of India, and also from abroad, to have a dip in the waters of the Ganges, as they believe that this would wash away all the sins of the mortal world. This is just a small aspect of life at Haridwar, and it looks really breath taking sight to view hundreds of men, women, and children taking bath in the holy waters of the Ganges to purify them. This being apart, there are other reasons to be in Haridwar, the Gateway to the celestial abode. From Haridwar, you may plan your trips to further up to places located in the Himalayan heights like Rishikesh, Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamanotri. Once you have seen all or some of these places, you will feel that you have done a rendezvous with the majestic and mighty Himalayas, the sense of fullfilment would be superb; and while moving down to the plains, you may perhaps feel a tinge of parting with the celestial Himalayan ranges. Haridwar (and the district of Haridwar of which the town of Haridwar is the headquarters) is spread over an area of 2360 km² and located at an altitude of around 250 metres. The place presents a panorama of Indian culture in its most traditional manifestation, as also the bounty of the nature and the magnificence of the Himalayas. It is a wonderland for a tourist who desires to saviour the religious rituals of the Hindus, find solace in the serenity of a religious and spiritual tradition continuing for thousand of years, and also top this with a roam around various spots in the Himalayan ranges presenting the ravishing natural beauties.
