Arrive in Haridwar, the gateway to the holy land of Uttarakhand. At the station or bus stand, our representative will warmly welcome you and assist with your hotel transfer. Once you check in and freshen up, you can take some time to rest after the journey. Later in the day, step out to explore the sacred ghats of Haridwar. Walking along the riverbank, you will see devotees offering prayers, saints in saffron robes, and the holy Ganga flowing calmly yet powerfully.As the sun begins to set, prepare yourself for one of the most memorable experiences – the Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri. The whole ghat comes alive with glowing diyas, chiming bells, rhythmic chants, and the fragrance of incense filling the air. Watching hundreds of little lamps float on the river is truly magical – it feels as if the stars have come down to earth. Chetram Holidays ensures you get the perfect spot to witness this divine moment without any hassle. Return to your hotel with your heart full of peace and spirituality.
After an early breakfast, start your drive towards Joshimath. The journey is long but extremely beautiful, as the road winds along the Alaknanda River. On the way, stop at Devprayag, the sacred confluence where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers meet to form the holy Ganga. The sight of the two different-colored streams merging into one is breathtaking. Continue your journey and halt at Rudraprayag and Karnaprayag, each offering unique views of rivers merging and tall mountains standing guard.The changing landscapes – from bustling towns to quiet valleys, from dense forests to open mountain views – keep you engaged throughout. By evening, you will reach Joshimath, a small yet important town in Uttarakhand. Check in to your hotel and relax. Take dinner and rest well, as the next day will take you to the sacred land of Badrinath.
Wake up early and have your breakfast before leaving for Badrinath, one of the four Char Dham shrines of India. On arrival, take a holy dip in the Tapt Kund, the natural hot water spring believed to cleanse all sins. Then proceed to the Badrinath Temple, a grand and spiritual place dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The temple, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, looks divine and peaceful. Offer your prayers and also visit nearby spots like Narad Kund and the Brahma Kapal, where rituals for ancestors are performed.Later, head towards Mana Village, the last Indian village near the Indo-Tibetan border. This charming village is filled with mythological stories – locals proudly say that this was the place where the Mahabharata was written by Ved Vyas. Walk through its narrow lanes, sip on a cup of tea at the famous “last tea shop of India,” and talk to friendly villagers who carry centuries of traditions. By evening, return to Joshimath for dinner and an overnight stay. Chetram Holidays ensures that all travel is smooth so you can focus on your spiritual journey without worries.
After breakfast, begin your return journey towards Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world. The drive itself is scenic, with river views and fresh mountain air keeping you refreshed. On arrival, check in to your hotel and later step out to explore the town. Visit the iconic Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula, the suspension bridges across the Ganga that are full of life, with ashrams, sadhus, and small cafes around. You can also visit Parmarth Niketan Ashram, a peaceful spot for meditation and yoga.In the evening, head to Triveni Ghat to attend the soulful Ganga Aarti. Compared to Haridwar, the aarti here feels quieter and more personal, with soft chants and the sound of flowing water in the background. Spending an evening here is a perfect way to end your pilgrimage with calmness in your heart. Overnight stay in Rishikesh.
On the last morning of your trip, enjoy breakfast at the hotel. If time permits, you can take a short walk by the river, do some last-minute shopping for souvenirs like rudraksha malas, brass idols, or spiritual books, or simply sit by the Ganga and watch its endless flow. Later, our representative will assist you with your transfer back to Haridwar railway station or bus stand.
Your journey with Chetram Holidays ends here – a journey filled with devotion, natural beauty, and peaceful moments. You will return home with not just photographs but also memories of the divine Ganga, the towering Himalayas, and the timeless temples that make Uttarakhand so special.
