Haridwar Yatra Tour

Package Overview

Haridwar also spelled Hardwar is an ancient city and municipality in the Haridwar district of Uttarakhand, India. The River Ganges, after flowing for 253 kilometres (157 mi) from its source at Gaumukh at the edge of the Gangotri Glacier, enters the Indo - Gangetic Plains of North India for the first time at Haridwar, which gave the city its ancient name, Gangadwara. Haridwar is regarded as one of the seven holiest places to Hindus. According to the samudra manthan, Haridwar in Sanskrit, Hara means "Lord Shiva" and Dwara means "gate" or "gateway". Hence, Hardwar stands for "Gateway to Lord Shiva". Haridwar (purnaic name Maya) is one of the seven most holy Hindu places in India.
