# Places to Visit in Haridwar
- Har Ki Pauri
One of the most revered ghats on the banks of the Ganges, Har Ki Pauri is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Haridwar. The evening Ganga Aarti here is an unforgettable experience. The entire ghat lights up with hundreds of oil lamps, and the chants of priests reverberate through the air as the river reflects the flickering lights. This spot holds deep spiritual significance, and you and your friends can witness the Aarti or take a dip in the holy river for a cleansing ritual.
- Mansa Devi Temple
Located on Bilwa Parvat, this temple is dedicated to Goddess Mansa Devi. You can reach the temple either by trekking or via a ropeway, which gives stunning aerial views of the city and the river Ganges. Devotees believe that wishes made here are granted, making it a popular pilgrimage site.
- Chandi Devi Temple
Perched on the Neel Parvat, Chandi Devi Temple is another prominent spiritual destination. This temple offers beautiful views of Haridwar and the surrounding mountains. The trek to the temple is ideal for friends looking for some physical activity while soaking in natural beauty.

For those seeking peace and spiritual learning, a visit to the Shantikunj Ashram is highly recommended. This spiritual organization provides meditation, yoga, and spiritual growth courses. Even if you're not looking to stay, a short visit to experience the calmness and serenity is worthwhile.
# Famous Dish of Haridwar
Haridwar is known for its simple yet flavorful vegetarian cuisine, which reflects the spiritual nature of the city. One dish that stands out is Kachori with Aloo Sabzi. Found in most local eateries, this dish consists of crispy, deep-fried kachoris served with a spicy potato curry. Another specialty is Aloo Puri, a delightful combination of soft puris and flavorful potato curry, often enjoyed with a tangy pickle and yogurt. Haridwar's street food culture is worth exploring, with snacks like Chole Bhature, Jalebi, and Lassi being other popular items that you and your friends must try during the tour.
