My 2 Day Trip To Haridwar And Rishikesh |
Haridwar
and Reshikesh is the most loved and enchanting place for me which always comes
in my first preference in short trip list…
Whenever
my family feels like going for a short trip to spend some day in relaxation and
relief we always love to go to haridwar and Rishikesh which is just 11 hours
from Kanpur. We traveled to State Highway number 43 by our car.

This time
we had planned my 2 day trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh. The two idyllic towns which are located on the banks of the River
Ganga, nestled calmly amidst the mighty Himalayas are the well - known
pilgrimage and a two of the holiest destinations for people from all around the
world. These two towns, separated by a small stretch of tree-covered highways
are recommended for any quick break in the hills.

In Haridwar, we booked hotel Bhaj
Govindam. Hotel has its own Ganga Ghats which attracted my family to stay in
this huge premise.
As this hotel is located in middle
of market area so we did not ordered any food in hotel. We preferred to eat
food from nearby restaurants.

Whenever I talk about food in
Haridwar, my tong twists and memorize that yummy and delicious chat and lassi
we had at Hari Ki Paudi.
Haridwar – the name of the place
which I heard from my grandmother for the first time as the door to heaven and
the place where there is purity and religious embedded. Reaching Haridwar the
cluttering sound of the River Ganga flowing can be heard in the mouth of the
entrance to the city. This place is the famous Har-ki-pauri.

The famous Har ki pauri ghat will
take away all your worries and tension and make your soul and spirit get
rejuvenated and revitalized.
The ghats are well populated by locals and tourists, and several vendors dot the riverside selling an assortment of religious icons. I also went to the mansa mata mandir, chandi mandir and enjoyed the ropeway. Later I witnessed the evening Aarti of the Holy River Ganga. This aarti is a beautiful ceremony in which deeyas (the oil lamps) are offered to God.
Next day we started moving towards
Rishikesh- the ‘Abode of Sages’. This little town is situated at the confluence
of rivers Chandra bhaga and Ganga. Rishikesh is also the point of origin for
the Char Dham Yatra. Now, the town is also popular among yoga and meditation
enthusiasts.
In Rishikesh visit Laxman Jhula, a hanging bridge on the river. In Indian mythology, Lakshman, the younger brother of Lord Rama crossed the Ganga with the help of a hanging bridge made of jute. While this present day bridge is made of sturdier metal, it is still a reminder of the adventurous crossing. Also visit Bharat Mandir, the oldest temple in Rishikesh, near the Triveni Ghat. This temple is dedicated to Bharat, the younger brother of Lord Ram.

As it was noon so near Lakman Jhula
we break our tour to have lunch. We had lunch at Chotti wala restaurant. We
ordered famous Thali. Thali was very delicious and is sufficient for one
people.

My trip was awesome and I felt so
relaxed and filled with heart contending pleasure in my two days journey to
Hrishikesh and Rishikesh.
