❀ Rishikesh & Haridwar ❀

Rishikesh Yatra

 Endowed with spectacular natural beauty, Rishikesh is situated at the foothills of the Himalayas. Here the crystal clear Ganges River flows down from the Himalayas! Spiritually surcharging the holy town of Rishikesh has attracted many transcendentalists since time immemorial.

Haridwar Yatra

The ancient holy town of Haridwar is on the west bank of the Ganges. Haridwar means "The Gateway to Lord Hari." It is also called Gangadwara, because the sacred Ganges enters the plains from here. Haridwar is one of the seven main holy cities (sapta-puri). Hari Ki Pauri is the most famous landmark of Haridwar.

Shukratal Yatra

Shukratal is 2-3 hours from Haridwar (72 km). Srila Sukadeva Goswami spoke sacred Srimad-Bhagavatam to Maharaja Pariksit here. Here there is a gigantic 5100-year-old Banyan tree called Akshaya Vat Vriksha. Under this tree, Sukadeva Goswami, Maharaja Pariksit and 80,000 sages assembled hearing Bhagavatam narration continuously for 7 days.

Devprayag Yatra

The holy timeless village of Devprayag is at a unique confluence (sangam) of two celestial rivers Alaknanda & Bhagirathi Rivers that both form the mainstream flow of the Ganges River. One can distinctly see this amazing phenomenon as the slightly dull colour Alaknanda River coming from behind the Giddhanchal mountain meets the crystal-clear waters of Bhagirathi River.
