India is a land of contrasts – where royal palaces meet sacred rivers, and timeless traditions blend seamlessly with modern wellness practices. Our Golden Triangle with Haridwar & Rishikesh Tour is designed as The Transformational Journey: combining Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur’s iconic cultural landmarks with the profound spiritual experiences of Haridwar and Rishikesh, the global hub for yoga and meditation.
This journey spans 1,800+ km across North India, from the Mughal masterpieces of the Golden Triangle to the Himalayan foothills where the Ganges flows pure and sacred. It’s more than sightseeing – it’s a path of cultural discovery and inner awakening.
Rishikesh hosts the International Yoga Festival annually, drawing participants from 50+ countries.
Haridwar is one of Hinduism’s seven holiest pilgrimage cities, hosting the grand Kumbh Mela every 12 years.
The Beatles’ 1968 stay in Rishikesh put it on the global spiritual map, inspiring generations to practice meditation.
Altitude: Rishikesh lies at 372 meters, comfortable for all travelers.
Climate: Summers (Apr–Jun) are warm, monsoon (Jul–Sep) brings lush greenery, winters (Oct–Mar) are cool and ideal for yoga practice.
Packing: Cotton clothes for day, light woolens for evenings in Rishikesh, modest attire for temples, and yoga wear.
