Itinerary
Arrival & Evening Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri

Explore Bharat Mata Mandir and the historic Sapt Rishi Ashram. Evening optional cultural walk along the ghats and local temples. Note: Cable car/ropeway charges are extra and subject to weather conditions.
Transfer to Rishikesh & Riverside Exploration
Drive to Rishikesh (short scenic drive). Check-in at hotel in Tapovan/Tera Manzil area. Afternoon visit Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula, stroll through the spiritual lanes, visit local ashrams and cafés. Attend the serene evening Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan — a must-see for pilgrims. Optional: Book a short yoga or meditation session at Parmarth.
Yoga, Ashram Visits & Beatles Ashram
Begin the day with a guided morning yoga session (optional paid class). Explore Beatles Ashram (Chaurasi Kutia) — the graffiti-filled meditation caves and spiritual art. Visit Triveni Ghat for an evening aarti if you prefer an alternate aarti experience. Tip: Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the ashram trails.
Neelkanth Mahadev Temple Excursion
Day trip to Neelkanth Mahadev Temple (approx. 32 km from Rishikesh) — a revered Lord Shiva shrine set amidst dense forests. The route is scenic and offers peaceful surroundings for meditation and darshan. Return to Rishikesh by evening; relax by the riverbanks. Important: The road is hilly; plan early morning departure to avoid traffic.
Devprayag Confluence & Kunjapuri Temple Sunset
Early drive to Devprayag to witness the sacred confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers forming the Ganga — an important pilgrimage spot. Continue to Kunjapuri Temple (near Rishikesh) for a spectacular sunset and panoramic view of the Himalayan peaks. Return to Rishikesh for overnight. Note: Devprayag visit involves some uphill walking; carry water and sun/rain protection.
Free Day: Optional Activities & Temple Visits
Leisure day to choose activities: optional river rafting, Ayurvedic massage, extended yoga retreat, or further temple visits such as local smaller shrines and markets. For families and slower-paced travelers, enjoy a relaxed riverside picnic or a guided heritage walk of old Rishikesh. Optional activities are chargeable and should be booked in advance during peak season.
Haridwar Return & Departure
Check-out from the hotel and drive back to Haridwar (or onward transfer to Dehradun airport / railway station based on departure).
