About Haridwar
Haridwar — the Gateway to the Gods — is where the Ganga leaves the Himalayas and enters the plains. One of the seven holiest cities of India and a Kumbh Mela city, it is home to Har Ki Pauri, the Siddh Peeths of Mansa Devi, Chandi Devi and Maya Devi, and the evening Ganga Aarti that draws thousands every single day. Every Char Dham Yatra begins here.
