2 Days Haridwar & Rishikesh Tour
Set out on Day 1 in Haridwar, beginning with a purifying dip in the Ganges at Har Ki Pauri and witnessing the soulful morning rituals, then ascend to Mansa Devi (or Chandi Devi) temple via cable car for panoramic city views. Enjoy a peaceful stroll through bustling bazaars filled with local snacks and souvenirs before returning to Har Ki Pauri at dusk to experience the enchanting evening Aarti under the glow of thousands of diyas, framed by the iconic Clock Tower. On Day 2, travel about an hour to Rishikesh, the “Yoga Capital,” and start with a riverside yoga or meditation session next to the Ganges before exploring the spiritual bridges—Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula. Discover the serene ruins of the Beatles' Ashram, then choose between thrilling white‑water rafting or a refreshing trek to a hidden waterfall.. As evening approaches, attend the vibrant Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat, followed by tranquility at Parmarth Niketan.

Mansa Devi Temple
The Mansa Devi Temple, perched atop the Bilwa Parvat on the Sivalik Hills, is a revered Hindu shrine in Haridwar dedicated to Goddess Mansa, a form of Shakti believed to emerge from the mind of Sage Kashyapa. It is one of the celebrated Siddh Peethas—sacred sites where devotees believe their heartfelt wishes can be fulfilled . The inner sanctum houses two distinct idols: one with eight arms, and another with three heads and five arms, symbolizing her many forms of divine power.
Chandi Devi Temple
The Chandi Devi Temple, perched atop Neel Parvat in Haridwar, stands as one of the revered Siddha Peethas—places believed to fulfill the heartfelt wishes of devotees . Originally anchored by an idol installed by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century, the present temple was constructed in 1929 by King Suchat Singh of Kashmir. Legend tells of Goddess Chandi (an aspect of Parvati) slaying the demon generals Chanda and Munda, and ultimately defeating demon kings Shumbha and Nishumbha—the temple marks the sacred ground where she rested after her victory.
Bhimgoda Tank
The Bhimgoda Tank, situated just about 1 km from Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, is a sacred reservoir believed to have sprung forth when Bhima, the mighty Pandava warrior, struck the ground with his knee to create a source of water during their journey to the Himalayas . Pilgrims bathe in its tranquil waters, believing the holy liquid washes away sins and grants spiritual purification . The tank is framed by beautifully laid-out gardens and fountains, with nearby floral balconies and a small temple dedicated to Lord Rama on its eastern bank . Today, it also serves a practical function as part of the Bhimgoda Barrage, which diverts Ganges water into the Upper Ganges Canal—a striking blend of myth, nature, and engineering heritage
