Getting out of Faridabad
Faridabad is south of Delhi, so going north means crossing the city or going around it on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. Check live traffic before you choose, then head for the Delhi–Meerut road and the old highway beyond Meerut.
The route
Take the old highway (NH-334, still called NH-58) through Meerut, Muzaffarnagar and Roorkee. A new link from the expressway to Haridwar's ring road is being built, so check whether it has opened before you plan around it.
Tolls and FASTag, food stops, the Kanwar Yatra and Kumbh rush, and parking: all in our Delhi to Rishikesh and Haridwar driving guide.
Where to stay
Compare stays in Haridwar, or base yourself 25 km up the river in Rishikesh, which is calmer, especially around the big Kumbh days: our own Advaitam Ganga & Hill View homestay has easy parking and a short walk to the ghat. Tell us your dates and we will suggest a few.
