Best Haridwar Rishikesh Tour Package from Delhi & Mumbai

Haridwar Rishikesh tour package from Dev Yatra is the most popular short pilgrimage and adventure trip in North India. Our Rishikesh Haridwar tour package from Delhi covers Har Ki Pauri Ganga Aarti, river rafting, Laxman Jhula, yoga sessions and sightseeing — all in 3 days 2 nights. We also offer Haridwar Rishikesh Mussoorie tour package, Haridwar Rishikesh tour packages for family and Haridwar Rishikesh tour packages with price for couple at the best rates.

Haridwar is one of the seven holiest cities in Hinduism and is considered the gateway to the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit. The city sits at the point where the Ganga descends from the mountains onto the plains, and this geographical significance has made it a major centre of pilgrimage for thousands of years. Har Ki Pauri is the most sacred ghat in Haridwar — every evening at sunset, a spectacular Ganga Aarti is performed with fire lamps, conch shells, and chanting that draws thousands of pilgrims and tourists daily. The sight of hundreds of diyas floating on the river is deeply moving.

Rishikesh is 25 km upstream from Haridwar in the foothills of the Himalayas, and is known worldwide as the Yoga Capital of the World. The town has hundreds of ashrams, yoga schools, and meditation centres catering to both Indian pilgrims and international spiritual seekers. The Ganges here is still fast-flowing from the mountains, which makes Rishikesh the most popular destination for river rafting in India. The suspension bridges of Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula cross the river and connect the two halves of the town, with temples, cafes, and ashrams lining both banks.

River rafting on the Ganges in Rishikesh is available on three main stretches — 16 km, 26 km, and 36 km — with grades ranging from 2 to 4. The 16 km stretch from Brahmpuri to Rishikesh is ideal for beginners and families. The longer stretches up to Shivpuri have more challenging rapids. The rafting season runs from September to June; monsoon months (July–August) are closed due to high water levels. Dev Yatra plans Rishikesh & Haridwar tour packages from Haridwar and Delhi with comfortable accommodation and flexible activities.

The aarti starts around 6 PM in winter and 7 PM in summer. Reach 30–45 minutes early to get a place on the steps near the ghat. The ghats fill up fast, especially on weekends. Haridwar is a completely vegetarian city — no non-veg food or alcohol anywhere.
