Day
1: Delhi - Haridwar - Rishikesh
Morning drive to Rishikesh (224 kms / 5-6 hrs) enroute visit
Haridwar.
Haridwar is considered very holy, as this is the point from
where the Ganges emerges from the Himalayas to begin its slow
progress across the plains. The main ghat 'Har ki Pauri' (the
footsteps of God) is suppose to be the precise spot where the
Ganges leaves the mountains and enters the plains.
Consequently the river's power to wash away sins at this spot
is superlative and endorsed by a footprint of Vishnu left on a
stone here.
Upon arrival, check into Glass House on the Ganges.
GLASS HOUSE ON THE GANGES - Once a private
garden-retreat of the Maharajas of Tehri Garhwal, it is set in
a litchi orchard with a garden of tropical plants, rare birds
& butterflies. Moreover, this location is considered
auspicious since it is the only place where the Ganges flows
towards the north. The property offers relaxed atmosphere
