Reach Haridwar, where the Ganga in all its divine forms flows. After checking in to the hotel and cleaning up, the first activity on your schedule is visiting Har Ki Pauri, which is where religious pilgrims take a holy dip. If the idea of finding inspiration at the art installation workshops doesn't appeal, then plan an evening visit to Mansa Devi Temple by ropeway, and immediately afterwards visit Chandi Devi Temple, which sits atop Neel Parvat. This area is abuzz with commerce, shopping markets, and other local entertainment. Witness the Ganga Aarti spectacular that evening, featuring thousands of flickering diyas on the river, singing priests, and ringing bells. You will take home this experience of existence. Overnight in Haridwar.

After your breakfast, head to the famous Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula, suspension bridges that overlook the retaining hills and meandering body of water. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Beatles Ashram, an abandoned meditation centre that is adorned with iconic designs. Go zip-lining over the Ganga, bungee jumping, or river rafting today if you're an adventurer. Unwind in the evening at Parmarth Niketan Ashram, where the Ganga Aarti is more meditative despite not being as opulent as Haridwar. Spend the night at Rishikesh.
After breakfast, travel for about four to five hours to Mussoorie, a hiker's and nature lover's heaven. Arrive at your hotel and breathe in the crisp mountain air.

Gun Hill Point is visible from practically everywhere in Mussoorie. In the evening, take a drive along Camel's Back Road. It's a peaceful drive with beautiful sunset views.
