About Haridwar

Haridwar, meaning "Gateway to God," is one of the seven holiest places in Hinduism. Located where the Ganges exits the Himalayan foothills onto the northern Indian plains, this ancient city has been a center of pilgrimage for thousands of years. The spectacular Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri ghat every evening is a mesmerizing experience, with thousands of floating oil lamps illuminating the river. Haridwar is also the starting point for the Char Dham Yatra and hosts the Kumbh Mela, the largest religious gathering in the world.
