Haridwar, Rishikesh and Dehradun Trip

Haridwar Day1 Haridwar Arrival, Local market and Har Ki Pauri We reached Haridwar station on 13Nov at 5pm. Ganga aarti time at Har ki Pauri is 5:30pm so we couldn't do aarti on same day. We got into Hotel Gayatri Classic and then visited local market towards har ki paudi. We enjoyed rabadi, kadhai milk, sweet potato and Singhada chat. We also saw Lakshman Dhanush bridge (shape like a bow). Day2 Mansa Devi, Chandi Devi and Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar  We went to take darshan of Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi at 8am. The combined ticket for Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi at Rs. 444 includes the cable car ( Also called Gandola or Udan khatola) and bus ride connecting the two sites. Kids above 110cm will be charged full ticket. We were back at 1:30pm at hotel. Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi sit atop hills blanketed in green forests. Together with Maya Devi on the banks of Haridwar, the three are the city’s Siddh Peeths [believed to fulfil wishes]. Mansa and Chandi are avatars of Parvat
