Haridwar is one of the first towns where Ganga emerges from the mountains to touch the plains. And that's why the water is crystal clear and cool. In the evening the ghats look breathtakingly beautiful, as thousands of diyas and marigold flowers float and illuminate the Holy waters. Lush green forests and small ponds adorn the scenic beauty of this holy land. The Rajaji National Park is just 10 kms from Haridwar. Not only a spiritual abode, it is also an ideal destination for wildlife and adventure lovers.
