Haridwar

The best time to visit Haridwar is during the cooler months, from October to March. The weather is pleasant, ideal for exploring the city and participating in religious activities. Avoid the monsoon season (July to September) due to heavy rainfall.

Key attractions include Har Ki Pauri, Mansa Devi Temple (accessible by ropeway), Chandi Devi Temple, Maya Devi Temple, and the numerous ashrams and ghats along the Ganges. Don't miss the Ganga Aarti ceremony at Har Ki Pauri in the evening.

Auto-rickshaws and cycle rickshaws are readily available for local transportation. Taxis and private cars are also options. Walking is a great way to explore the areas around the ghats and temples.
