About this trip

This short Uttarakhand loop suits a long weekend from Delhi or a first family trip to the hills. Haridwar, where the Ganga leaves the mountains, holds the evening Ganga aarti at Har ki Pauri and the Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi temples reached by ropeway. Rishikesh, 20 km upstream, is the self-styled yoga capital of the world, with the Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula suspension bridges, the Parmarth Niketan aarti at Triveni ghat, the ashram once visited by the Beatles, and white-water rafting on the Ganga from Shivpuri in season. Mussoorie, at about 2,000 m above Dehradun, is a British-era hill station with the Mall Road, Gun Hill ropeway, Camel's Back road, Lal Tibba viewpoint, Kempty Falls and the Company Garden. Hotels, meals and activities are set by the supplier and listed for confirmation.
