      At 5 am, your English-speaking driver will pick you up and head for Haridwar, which is about a 5-hour drive. Your first stop will be Har ki Pauri. Trusted to be one of the holiest Ghats in the country, Har Ki Pauri is supposedly the first place where Ganga touches the plains, leaving behind the pristine ranges of the Himalayas. The ghat is also known as the Brahma Kund, where you can view the stone which has an imprint of Lord Vishnu’s foot, as pointed out by the name.

    2. Rishikesh

      You will also explore two bridges in Rishikesh. First is Lakshman Jhula, the popular hanging bridge across the holy river Ganga. This 450 ft long and height of 70 ft and 3 kms away from Rishikesh. The other bridge is Ram Jhula on the river Ganga in Rishikesh. Ram Jhula is the newer bridge named after Lakshman’s brother, Lord Ram. You can enjoy lunch (at your own expense) In the evening during sunset, you will visit Ganga Aarti at Haridwar. Thousands of sects visit the ghats of the Ganga at Har ki Pauri at Haridwar to witness the aarti that started several decades ago. It takes place on the other side of the banks where you will see the priests light up the lamps in a clockwise manner, accompanied by songs in praise of Mother Ganga. After the ritual is complete, devotees will cup their hands over the flame and raise their palms to their forehead in order to get the Goddess's purification and blessing. Finally, head back to New Delhi and get dropped at your hotel.

    Long day but worth it

    We were looking forward to crossing the experience off our bucket list and glad we went. The eight hour drive to and from was a bit much so if you can fly I would highly recommend. If not still invest in a long day and go.

    Response from the operator: Hello Sir, Namaste from Sunrise Taj Mahal Tour!!!! Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are so happy to read your excellent review. Feedback are the key of our business and your feedback would help in future tours of our guests. We will be more than happy to see you again :-) through our Company Thanks Rahul +91- 701 - 708 - 7206

    Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.

    How much does Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Delhi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi take?

    +

    Plan for about 15 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Delhi is not rushed.

    Is Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Delhi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Delhi and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Delhi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New Delhi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every New Delhi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Private Day Trip From Delhi with 5* Lunch, 5 Nights 6 Days Private Golden Triangle Tour - Delhi Agra Jaipur, Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New Delhi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New Delhi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi?

    +

    Included: English Speaking Tour Guide in Haridwar; All Tolls, Taxes, Parking, Fuel, Driver Allowance; Pickup & Drop-off by private AC Vehicle from Delhi; and Water bottles in the car. Not included: Lunch, Breakfast, Dinner; Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); and Gratuities and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 6010 listed pickup locations in and around New Delhi. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Private Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh from Delhi if the weather is bad?

    +
