Package summary
Haridwar and Rishikesh sit half an hour apart and are completely different places, which is why we give each of them its own night rather than trying to do both from one hotel.
The evening aarti at Har Ki Pauri is the centre of the trip. Get there early, sit on the steps, and do not try to photograph all of it.
Rishikesh is the lighter half. Ram Jhula, Laxman Jhula, the Beatles ashram and, if the season allows and the group is willing, a rafting stretch from Shivpuri. We will book that separately once we know who is going in the water.
