Haridwar is one of seven holiest religious pilgrimage places in India for Hindus, known as Sapta Puri. (The others are Varanasi (Kashi) in Uttar Pradesh, Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, and Dwarka in Gujarat). What's so special about these places? Hindu gods have incarnated there in various avatars or the places are believed to have natural spiritual powers. Visiting them all in a lifetime is thought to provide release from the endless cycle of birth and death.
Thus, pilgrims attain moksha or liberation.
Rishikesh
Situated a little further up the Ganges River than Haridwar, Rishikesh is considered to be the birthplace of yoga in India. It's renowned for its many ashrams. A Ganga Aarti is also held every evening in Rishikesh, at Parmarth Nitekan ashram, the prominent ashram there. Adventure activities, such as river rafting, are popular as well. You'll also find a number of Hindu temples in Rishikesh.
The feel of the Ganges River is more natural in Rishikesh, where it flows freely.
Lansdowne is a hill station in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand. It was founded as a military garrison under the British Raj, and the Garhwali Museum traces the history of the Garhwal Rifles regiment, which still trains in the town. Close to colonial-era St. Mary’s Church, Tip-n-Top viewpoint is perched up on a ridge overlooking forested hills. Hindu devotees worship Shiva at the centuries-old Kaleshwar Temple.
