Delhi - Rishikesh - Delhi
Day
01 : Dehi/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 replete with leisure, reading,
log fires and barbecue near the banks of the river.
