Haridwar is located on the banks of river Ganga; this makes it a sacred town for all the worshipers. This town is believed to be blessed by the holy trinity; Bhramha, Vishnu, and Mahesh. Haridwar is termed as the ‘Gateway to the Gods’. Daily millions of people come here to take blessings from the river and to see the divine Ganga Aarti in Haridwar.  

According to a mythological story and believe, when the river Ganga flows on the remaining of the ancestors of Saint Bhagirath they got moksha (free from the cycle of death and rebirth).  This tradition is followed by mostly every Hindu, they offer remaining of their death ancestors and relatives in the river to expect moksha for them. The Ganga Aarti in Haridwar at the Har ki Pauri started in the early 1910’s. This tradition in Haridwar was started by Pundit Madan Mohan Malviya.

    Bengani's 5 days trip to Haridwar

    To sum up, it was a memorable trip. Right from the drive through the scenic valleys to visiting tourist attractions was an amazing experience. The itinerary was not so well planned. Due to excessive travel time involved between places, it left us exhausted occasionally. ( For instance - Day 7 wa
    s planned to check out from Khajjiar ( assuming 8 am) and reach Chandigarh ( to catch our onward train at 3 pm - intimated in advance) which was not practical because it takes 9-10hrs to reach Chandigarh from Khajjiar. Needless to say, travel coordinator was very proactive and responsive to all our queries / requests before and during the trip which contributed to our tension free holiday time. Hotel at Manali ( Tanglewood Villa) was excellent but other hotels ( Vakratunda in Mcleodgunj and Shining Star in Khajjiar) were only satisfactory with no wow factor. Driver was well behaved, expert in driving through the tough Himalayan terrains and was well aware of the routes involved in the itinerary. Paragliding and River rafting in Kullu. Drive through snowy valleys in Khajjiar - Dalhousie. Scenic beauty of the deodhar range of mountain in mcleodganj. Trip with shorter travel time ( in between places) could have been more relaxing and enjoyable.

    Sharat Sharma

    Delhi

    Sharat's 8 days trip to Haridwar

    Our trip was planned in the last moment so we did not have option to research much and relied on the experts. Let me begin by writing the good things first: 1) The initial response was good & quick 2) Mr Sandeep the agent was polite and accommodative of our requests and modifications These w
    ere the only things that went well. Now let me share the list of things that went wrong. 1) Problem between the driver and the agent - we had no clue of what was going on between these guys. Each of them wanted to change the trip itinerary on their own way. The driver complained about the agent and the agent kept saying the driver has no clue. The nagging of the driver started right from the moment we landed at Dehradun. It was very upsetting when the driver put the mobile on speaker and agent Mr Sandeep said to the driver - "Sir handle karlo, aur jo bhi setting karni hogi hum apne beech main kar lenge." 2) Excessive Drive time - the drive from Mussoorie turned into a nightmare coz we drove 350+kms on hills in a day, which by no means is safe and recommended. We could have taken a halt. When I said this to the Agent Mr Sandeep, the first response was, "You should have started late". He said that without even asking what time did we start. We got stuck in the land-slide and the agent instead of supporting during the panic situation, stopped responding and then when responded it was rude and ruthless. He had no clue of the drive and the location, he kept saying I have 5 years experience and the driver kept saying I have 25 years experience. We were stranded for long . We tried calling travel-triangle guys as well and had no response from them either. 3) After all this, for rest of the days we decided to ignore both the agent and the driver and enjoy the trip but the worse was yet to come. We had asked for a camp site next to the river at Rishikesh and we were given some unsafe place in some remote village near Rishikesh. It was called adventure camp and nothing other than reaching their was adventure. The first sight we saw was a bunch of men sitting and drinking. The camp was in remote village with no place to go. We literally had to beg for food which was part of the package. The food arrived late and the guys at the camp kept drinking all night. This clearly shows that the agent does not have any understanding of what does a camp sight mean. We missed the whole experience of sitting next to river at the bourne fire. This was the most disappointing experience. I was with my wife and we could hear these drunk men screaming all night. 4. Lies of the agent - Mr Sandeep said, other hotels were not available while almost every hotel we tried to check had enough rooms. This was a outright lie by the agent. The cost of the trip was way to higher than the kind of hotels and service that we received. To save few bugs they booked us in simple hotels. I would never recommend travel triangle and neither 1point 5billion inches.
