Nestled in the lap of the nature and licked by the mighty Ganges, Haridwar is a town that epitomizes holiness and spirituality in abundance. It is situated in the heart of Uttaranchal, a state in northern India, and is one of the biggest pilgrim destinations in the country. Temples, mythological references, the flowing river, the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti, salubrious climate and friendly Haridwar hotels make the place a truly delightful one for a spiritual sabbatical.
Haridwar is a treasure trove of temples including the famed Mansa Devi Temple. There are so many temples in this part of the world that even a month may not be enough to visit all of them. Har Ki Pauri is a popular ghat and perhaps the holiest in the world. The ‘aarti’ that is held here after sunset is a sight to behold. It will surely give you goose bumps. But Haridwar has much more to offer than temples. There are wildlife sanctuaries (Chilla wildlife sanctuary), gardens and markets (Moti Bazaar). And to top it all, there are very nice restaurants and great Haridwar hotels!
On the southern part of the country lies an equally pious pilgrim destination in the form of Tirupati or Tirumala. It is filled with hundreds of temples of all sizes and dimensions. Some of the temples are so magnificent that you would be compelled to gape at the architecture. Popular temples include names like the Lord Venkateswara temple (a must visit), Sri Bedi Anjaneyaswami temple, Akasaganga temple and Asthana Mandapam. Other attractions include natural sites like the TTD Gardens, Swami Pushkarini Lake and Silathoranam.
Tirupati hotels and inns are hospitable and hygienic. You can book Tirupati hotels with the assistance of a local travel agency.
