7. On your returning back, you will be taken to Haridwar, to see Aarti at night. A view containing thousands of devotees holding diyas and flowers in their hands. The Aarti is the sight to behold; you will be on the other side of the banks and could see the priests light up the lamps. Slowly, they start moving the lamps in clockwise direction, in a rhythmic way. The reflection of lamps is visible on the Ganges. The mighty Ganga has a strong current which indicates its purpose in life—loving unconditionally all those who come on its banks. The river never uses its own water yet it flows for the benefit of others who quench their spiritual thirst at its banks. Sitting on the banks, you can only be in awe of the river which relieves you from your sins, pain as well as tiredness with a single dip in it. Afterwards you will start drive for desired hotel in Delhi/Noida/Gurgaon or Airport with beautiful memories of Haridwar & Rishikesh. Note: This is only a suggested itinerary. We can customize it according to your flight arrival and departure schedule or as per your schedule.

About New Delhi

New Delhi pairs the stately avenues of India's capital with the bazaars and Mughal monuments of Old Delhi, a city of layered empires and great food.

The planned capital centres on a grand ceremonial avenue running from India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential palace. Nearby, Humayun's Tomb, a forerunner of the Taj Mahal, sits in formal gardens, and the Qutub Minar, a towering sandstone minaret, rises in the south. The Lotus Temple and the vast Akshardham complex add striking modern landmarks.
