Except for the peak summer month of June (and the last weeks of May) and the monsoon months of July to September, the rest of the months are good to choose Haridwar Rishikesh tour packages. The best time to visit these places also depends on what you'd like to do. For instance, if you'd like to include some adventure activities along with your spiritual tour, we suggest visiting Haridwar & Rishikesh in spring (February to April) and November.
Haridwar and Rishikesh are spiritual hubs famous for their temples, yoga, adventure activities, and numerous ashrams.
We suggest booking Haridwar & Rishikesh tour packages for 3 to 4 days, though you can include them in your broader North India tour packages or Uttarakhand tour packages.
Yes, you can always customise your itinerary to include (or exclude) specific attractions.
Some popular souvenirs you can buy from these cities include Rudraksh malas, local sweets like jalebi, local handicrafts, shawls and sweaters from Tibetan markets, brass idols, and Ayurveda products.
Some of the local delicacies in Haridwar and Rishikesh include Aloo Puri, Chaat items, Thupka, Kulhar Wali Chai, Kachori, Momos, and Chole-Bhature.
While Haridwar is a traditional pilgrimage site, like Har ki Pauri and the Kumbh Mela, Rishikesh is known for its yoga and meditation culture and attracts a younger, hipper crowd. You will also notice a difference in how the Ganga flows in Haridwar compared to Rishikesh. The Ganga is colder and faster, while in Haridwar, it slows down and begins its journey towards the plains.
Haridwar is close to several hill stations like Mussoorie, Dhanaulti, Dehradun, Auli, and Nainital, and pilgrimage sites like Devprayag and Kunjapuri.
