How to get around Haridwar

← Haridwar

On foot to the ghats

Everything you came for is within a couple of kilometres of the station, and in the evening walking is not a preference but the only option: vehicles are stopped well short of the water.

free

Cycle, auto and e-rickshaws

Station to the edge of the Har Ki Pauri zone is the standard run. In the evening they will still take you, but only as far as the barrier.

~₹20–40 shared, ~₹80–100 to yourself

Ropeways to Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi

The two hill temples sit on opposite banks and the combined ticket is valid for two days, so you can take one in the morning and the other the next. Cabins run from 5:30 to 19:00.

~₹439 for the combined ticket, shuttle between them ~₹95

Apps work only out of town

Ola and Uber take intercity bookings to Rishikesh, Dehradun and the airport, and practically nothing inside Haridwar itself.

from ~₹500 to Rishikesh

Har Ki Pauri is closed to vehicles roughly 9:00–22:00. For the evening aarti, walk from the barrier; allow 20–25 minutes.
