Why go to Haridwar

Har Ki Pauri Ganga aarti and the old ghats. A devotional evening at Har Ki Pauri for the Ganga aarti — one of the great spectacles of north India.

Is it worth it?

If you have three days in Dehradun, Haridwar fits in as a relaxed day trip without cutting into the city. With two days, we'd keep to Dehradun itself.
