Thanks for sharing this beautiful city with the community, @IshantHP_ig. The iron bridge is breathtaking. What is the best time of the year to visit the place? 

Also, did you plan any interesting trips for 2019 or do you like doing them spontaneously?

Actually you can visit at Haridwar in any month, here the vibes and Divine Ganges always looks same, since childhood i am visiting this place and i have some good memories of my childhood at this place.

Thanks for the invitation, @IshantHP_ig. Travelling without a plan is could be many times more fun from my experience. I enjoy solo travelling from time to time as well. This is when I spend the most time in galleries and museums. 🙂
