On arrival at Airport, meet our representative and get transferred to Hotel
Upon your arrival and meet and greet with our representative in Delhi, you will be transferred to Haridwar by road. Haridwar is a famous pilgrimage holy city that has religious significance, as this is the point where the holy Ganges (after completing its course of 310 kms - from its source at Gaumukh) emerges from the Himalayas to begin its slow progress into the Indo-Gangetic plains in North India for the first time in Haridwar. The main ghat 'Har ki Pauri' (footsteps of God) is supposedly the precise spot where this happens. Thus the river's power to wash away sins at this spot is superlative and endorsed by a footprint of Vishnu left on a stone here.
Upon arrival, check-in to your hotel. In the evening, visit ashrams and temples - Mansa Devi and Chamunda Devi. Later witness the evening Aarti of the Holy River Ganga. This aarti is a beautiful ceremony in which deeyas (the oil lamps) are offered to God. Return to hotel for overnight stay.

Visit the local temples, i.e. Daksh Prajapati Temple, Anandmai Ashram, Parad (Mercury) Shivling in Kankhal Region, Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi (both by ropeway), Maya Devi, Pawan Dham, Bhuma Niketan, Parmarth, Bharat Mata Mandir, Shanti Kunj, Saptrishi Ashram and others. and do some shopping before evening aarti on the ghats of Ganga.

After an early breakfast today, set out on an excursion to the small resort hamlet of Dhanaulti - at a 33 kilometer distance from Mussoorie. Go up to the ancient mountain top shrine of Surkanda Devi (9700 ft). The shrine is surrounded by exquisite deodar and pine trees, beautiful valleys, and snow capped mountains. Later, visit the famous Kempty Falls. This falls was developed as a tourist destination by a British officer John Mekinan, around 1835. The name Kempty is probably derived from the word 'camp-tea', as the British, during the colonial rule, would organize their tea parties here. In the evening, return to your hotel. Overnight stay at your hotel in Haridwar.
