Let’s explore the must-visit places in Haridwar!
Satyanarayan Mandir
This peaceful temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu is perfect for a calm start to your Haridwar journey. It’s often visited before major life events like weddings or new ventures for blessings.
Fun Tip: Visit early in the morning when it’s quiet and serene.
Must-Do: Offer banana prasad and sit quietly for a few moments of reflection.
Maa Mansa Devi Mandir
Perched on Bilwa Parvat, this temple is accessible by a scenic cable car ride. Devotees tie threads to fulfill wishes.
Fun Fact: “Mansa” means wish — and people say wishes come true here!
Must-Do: Take the ropeway for amazing aerial views of Haridwar and the Ganga.
Maa Chandi Devi Mandir
Another hilltop gem, this temple is reached by ropeway or a short trek. The temple has powerful energy and is linked to Goddess Durga’s fierce form.
Fun Tip: Combine this visit with Mansa Devi for a “Shakti Darshan.”
Must-Do: Watch langurs and hill birds along the way if you trek.
Har Ki Pauri Ganga Aarti
The heart and soul of Haridwar. Every evening, thousands gather by the river to witness the aarti with flaming diyas, bells, and chants.
Fun Fact: “Har Ki Pauri” means the footsteps of Lord Vishnu.
Must-Do: Arrive by 5 PM for a good spot and light your own diya in the river. It’s unforgettable.
