One Day Delhi To Haridwar - Rishikesh Trip By Cab

Package Overview

Nestled in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand are the two most spiritual cities of India, Haridwar and Rishikesh. They are famous for its ancient temples, ashrams, the holy water of the Ganges river that flows through them and the spiritual aura that the cities emit. These two cities are hardly at a distance of 20 km from one another which makes most tourists travelling from the capital city opt for a One Day Delhi to Haridwar & Rishikesh Trip by Car.

Delhi being the capital of the country with a rich history, diverse culture, opportunities to shop, experiment with various cuisines, and being a vantage point for various weekend getaways, finds its way to many tourists’ starting point. The duration required to reach Haridwar from Delhi is approximately 4.5 hours via NH334, covering a distance of roughly 220 km.

Nicknamed as the “twin national heritage cities”, Haridwar & Rishikesh are visited by thousands of devotees every day who come here to wash away their sins by taking a dip in the Ganges river, to perform the last rituals of their loved ones, get their wishes fulfilled or simply being close to nature.

Additionally, Rishikesh has a lot of adventure activities to offer that instantly makes it famous among adventure enthusiasts. Be it river rafting, cliff jumping, swimming in a natural pool, bungee jumping and so many more. If time permits, one can always opt for such sports as per their preference during their One Day Delhi to Haridwar & Rishikesh Trip by Car.

The rather narrow lanes of these twin cities are always busy with something or the other happening. These cities are also a paradise for a foodie’s palate with a variety of Indian snacks and sweets available at every nook and corner.
