Hello Local Guides,
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to visit Haridwar in March and wanted to share some unique spots and experiences I encountered.
One striking landmark I noticed right away was the Haridwar Railway Clock Tower. Located conveniently between the railway ticket house and Platform 1, it’s hard to miss. This approximately 60-foot tall structure, painted in a distinctive pink and red, adds a touch of old-world charm to the bustling station. I managed to snap a photo of it from Platform 2, although the bottom portion was slightly hidden from my vantage point.
While at the railway station, I also observed a modern infrastructure project: a lavatory managed by RVNL (Rail Vikas Nigam Limited), a government PSU project. Sitlavatory managed by RVNL (Rail Vikas Nigam Limited), a government PSU project. Situated on Platform 1, this facility offers a clean and well-maintained option for travelers for a nominal entry fee of ₹10 per person. It’s great to see such initiatives contributing to a better travel experience.
Of course, no visit to Haridwar is complete without experiencing the spiritual heart of the city – the Ganga Ghat at Hari ki Pauri. The Ganga Aarti here is truly a mesmerizing and famous event. I had the privilege of witnessing this sacred ritual, taking photos to capture the vibrant atmosphere. I also took a dip in the holy Ganga Jal and performed puja, feeling a sense of peace and spiritual connection.
Beyond the iconic landmarks, I also explored some local food shops, savoring the authentic flavors of Haridwar. This vibrant aspect of the city adds to its overall charm.
From what I observed, Haridwar also seems to offer a peaceful environment for investment, although this was just a general impression from my visit.Hari ki pori
