Haridwar & Rishikesh
Haridwar and Rishikesh sit 25 km apart on the Ganga, where the river leaves the hills for the plains, and they are the gateway to almost every trip in Garhwal. Haridwar is a pilgrim city of ghats, temples and the evening Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri, while Rishikesh is known for yoga, river rafting and riverside camps. These guides cover the best places to visit in both towns, the ghats of Haridwar, rafting and camping at Shivpuri, adventure activities for groups, and hill stations within a short drive. There is also advice on choosing a travel agent for the Char Dham Yatra and other trips. The Gokeys office is in Haridwar, so these are the towns we know best.
