Haridwar Festival & Culture Tour — 2N / 3D
Package ID: TG-CITY-002229
Festivals & Culture · Uttarakhand · Holy city — Experience Haridwar around its festival season — culture, colour and local celebration, planned to the calendar. One of the seven holiest cities in Hinduism and where the Ganges leaves the mountains for the plains. The Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri each evening is the reason to come — hundreds of lamps set on the water, crowds packed onto the ghats, and an intensity that Rishikesh's gentler ceremony does not match. Arrive an hour early for any view at all. Haridwar is a strictly vegetarian and dry city, and it is a pilgrimage town rather than a tourist one, which shapes everything from the hotels to the food. One night is usually right, generally paired with Rishikesh 25 km up the road. This 2-night festivals & culture package is built around Haridwar's real highlights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework.

Questions
Package FAQs
Haridwar or Rishikesh?
Haridwar is the pilgrimage city and its aarti is larger and more intense. Rishikesh is gentler, has the adventure sports and is easier for a first visit. They are 25 km apart and many people do both.
Is Haridwar vegetarian?
Yes, strictly, and alcohol is prohibited. This is a holy city and both rules are taken seriously.
What makes this a festivals & culture package?
Experience Haridwar around its festival season — culture, colour and local celebration, planned to the calendar. The theme shapes the pacing and the extras; the sights themselves are Haridwar's real highlights. Everything is customisable at quotation.
How is the price calculated?
On enquiry. We price your exact party, dates, hotel category and inclusions; a consultant replies within one working day and no payment is required for a quote.
How do we get there and get around?
Haridwar is served by Jolly Grant (DED), 35 km (rail: Haridwar Junction, 2 km). Local transfers and sightseeing are by private air-conditioned car; flights or trains can be added.
