What our travelers think about their stay

Anonymous traveller

Seasoned Traveller

Haridwar is one of seven sacred Hindu towns and, in my opinion, not the most interesting. That said, the local Indians were, as they are everywhere, adorable and the food yummy (very spicy too!).

My suggestion

I suggest you avoid going at the end of June, as it's baking hot and really crowded! As with Amritsar, smoking is forbidden in certain parts of town.

My suggestion

I would advise you to attend the ceremony of Har-ki-Pauri (prayer to the Ganges), at least once in your lifetime. More solemn than the one in Varanasi, it leaves a long-lasting impression.
