places to visit in haridwar in one day 2021

I was travelling to Rishikesh to relax my self for some time from Delhi's hard summer but then I decided to first go to Haridwar as it was in my way to Rishikesh. I will tell you places to visit in Haridwar also If you are in Delhi then you can take a bus from ISBT to Haridwar it will cost you between 500-700. the best thing about solo travelling is you never know what is going to happen next, every time you travel you experience new thing, for instance, I met a guy who was sitting next to me I offered him some snacks with a smile and we start a conversation and he offered me tea believe me the tea was awesome.

  Haridwar is a city in an Indian state of Uttarakhand and it is one of the seven sacred cities of the Hindus it is a  pilgrimage centre and the meaning of Haridwar is 'hari' means lord Vishnu and 'dwar' means gateway "the gateway to Lord Vishnu". Hindus come here to take bath in the holy water of river Ganga. In Hinduism, it is believed that if you take a bath in Ganga than you will attain moksha (liberation). many tourists local as well as foreigners also visit there to understand the real meaning of Hinduism or to explore this city of sadhus.

 I reached there early In the morning and people were walking on the bank of the river Ganga. the sun was rising and I could see the shining water. the water shone because of sun rays it was really beautiful to see in the river. If you are in Haridwar then my advice to you is don't rent an auto or e-rickshaw to get to the har ki podi (one of the famous ghat ) as or can negotiate the fair as they always ask for extra money for a small distance and if you are going to Haridwar I suggest you some places where you can visit.

These are the place to visit in Haridwar in one day 

Ganga Aarti

every day Ganga aarti is performed in the morning when the sunrise and in the evening when the sunset at the har-ki-Pauri ghat (built by king Vikram in the 1st century) it was a very unique experience for me and I'm sure it will be unique for you too. aarti filled with spirituality, rituals, songs.

Chandi Devi Temple

It is located on the Neel Parvat of the Shivalik hills dedicated to Chandi Devi Goddess. if you love trekking then this temple should be in your list in Haridwar because you have to trek to reached there as it is located on the hill but you can also take a ropeway to get there. the temple is surrounded with greenery and mind-blowing scenery ( it is advisable to start trekking in the morning if you are visiting there in summer )

Swami Vivekananda Park

swami Vivekananda park is located near the har ki Pauri and triangle in shape its a good place to visit and covered with greenery, the attraction of the park is a massive statue of Swami Vivekananda and also have another huge statue of lord shiva which you can see from the distance.

Bara Bazar(Market)

If you are a religious person(mainly Hindu) and looking something to buy then this is a place for you this Bazar is mainly famous for rudraksha(Elaeocarpus ganitrus), ayurvedic medicines and for wooden items and even if you don't want to buy anything, this place is still an interesting place to visit who knows you will find something different

Definitely, these are few places which I mentioned here but you will find a lot more when you personally visit there, local market, the people, roads, food especially the Kachori Aaloo which is pretty common in Haridwar and the sadhus. If you wish to stay in Haridwar then many hotels are there and Dharamshala's also available for free
