Itinerary
Your private day tour of Haridwar begins with pickup at your hotel. Climb into your private, air-conditioned vehicle and meet your dedicated guide.
Hop a cable car to the hilltop location of the Mansa Devi Temple, dedicated to the Hindu goddess Mansa Devi, who is thought to grant wishes. Tie a string to the branches of a temple tree if you'd like your wish to be granted.
The rest of your tour can be tailored to your interests, and your guide can suggest destinations. Tours in Haridwar typically visit the Shantikunj Ashram, the Maya Devi Temple, and the Daksha Mahadev Temple.
Once evening falls, head for Har Ki Pauri to participate in a Ganga Aarti ceremony. During this ceremony, a Hindu priest offers prayers (aarti) to the Ganga River, believed to be the Divine Mother. During the 45-minute ritual, conducted at sunset, make offerings of flowers and partake in puja with a Hindu priest. Watch locals light large fire bowls on the riverbanks and listen to Sanskrit mantras.
After the ceremony, you are dropped back at your hotel.

Sunny was an excellent tour guide! We had a great day in Haridwar and everything went seamlessly. Sunny had great stories, answered all sorts of questions we asked, and even got us the best seats for the ganga aarti. Highly recommend!

Sunny provided an outstanding overview of the temples and attractions of Haridwar. The tour was organized very smartly to avoid crowds and minimize travel time. He readily and clearly explained everything we saw. I was particularly impressed with the seating for the ganga aarti, which I think must have been the best seating possible. Thank you, Sunny, for a great tour!
