Ablauf

1. At 5 or 6 am, your driver will pick you up and head for Haridwar, which is about a 5-hour drive. Your first stop will be Har ki Pauri. Trusted to be one the holiest Ghats in the country, Har Ki Pauri is supposedly the first place where Ganga touches plains, leaving behind the pristine ranges of the Himalayas. The ghat is also known as the Brahma Kund where you can view the stone which has an imprint of Lord Vishnu’s foot, as pointed out by the name. You will also explore two bridges in Rishikesh. First is Lakshman Jhula, the popular hanging bridge across the holy river Ganga. This 450 ft long Jhula is built at a height of 70 ft from the river and is about 3 kms away from the main town of Rishikesh. The other bridge is Ram Jhula which is the iron Parallax Bridge on the river Ganga in Rishikesh. Ram Jhula is the newer bridge named after Lakshman’s brother, Lord Ram.

2. You can enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense) before visiting Sivananda Ashram, Parmath Niketan Temple, Gita Bhavan, Swarg Ashram, Ma Anandamayee Ashram, Sapt Rishi Ashram, and The Beatles Ashram. In the evening during sunset, you will visit Ganga Aarti at Haridwar. Thousands of sects visit the ghats of the Ganga at Har ki Pauri at Haridwar to witness the aarti that started several decades ago. The tradition continues unabated and is a sight to behold. It takes place on the other side of the banks where you will see the priests light up the lamps in a clockwise manner, accompanied by songs in praise of Mother Ganga. After the ritual is complete, devotees will cup their hands over the flame and raise their palms to their forehead in order to get the Goddess's purification and blessing. Finally, head back to New Delhi and get dropped by at your hotel at around 9pm.

About Neu-Delhi

Neu-Delhi verbindet die stattlichen Alleen der Hauptstadt mit den Basaren und Mogulbauten Alt-Delhis: Reiche in Schichten und großartiges Essen.

Die geplante Hauptstadt ist auf eine große Prachtstraße ausgerichtet, die vom India Gate zum Rashtrapati Bhavan, dem Präsidentenpalast, führt. In der Nähe liegt Humayuns Grabmal, ein Vorläufer des Taj Mahal, in formalen Gärten, und im Süden ragt der Qutb Minar auf, ein hohes Minarett aus Sandstein. Der Lotustempel und die riesige Anlage von Akshardham setzen markante moderne Akzente.

Top-ranked sights in Neu-Delhi: India Gate, Jama Masjid (Masjid e Jahan Numa), Chandni Chowk.
