Haridwar tourism brings every visitor closer to the essence of this city, which dwells in the ritualistic cultures and symmetrical traditions.

A Haridwar tour unfolds the religious significance of the pious pilgrim site which is the beginning of the Char Dham Yatra. Every year lakhs of pilgrims begin the Yatra from here to seek spirituality. According to the Hindu mythology, few droplets of an elixir which had fallen from the Amrit Manthan is the reason for the enchanted environ of this place.

    It was good experience. However few things should have been cleared in the quotation. They have added lal tibba in the itinerary where there cab doesn't go. They asked us to visit other places instead of lal tibba. We visited lal tibba by walk as it was only 1 km from the other places. When we visi
    ted the other places via cab, lal tibba was in our way. What was the point of saying that we dont go there?? What i have understood is that they themselves not aware of the route. There was lack of clarity about th places. Otherwise overall experience was fine Everything except clarity for one of the place.
