📖 ABOUT THIS WALK
Rishikesh (ऋषिकेश) and Haridwar (हरिद्वार) sit about 25 kilometers apart along the upper Ganges River (गंगा). Rishikesh is known for yoga, ashrams and riverfront temples beneath the Himalayan foothills. Downstream, Haridwar marks the point where the Ganges enters the plains.
At Har Ki Pauri, pilgrims gather for the evening Ganga Aarti as priests lift lamps above the river and offerings drift across the water. Together, the two cities show both the reflective and communal sides of life along India’s most sacred river.
