Best Resort in Haridwar near Ganga: tips before you book

Staying by the Ganga puts the ghats and the evening Ganga aarti at Har Ki Pauri within reach on foot. The riverside stretches are Har Ki Pauri, Bhupatwala, Kharkhari and the Shantikunj stretch. A room that actually faces the river usually costs more than one at the back, so ask which side yours is on.

Resorts mostly sit outside the walkable centre, on the Neelkanth and Badrinath roads or by the river upstream, so budget for taxis or a car. Ask whether meals are included and how far it is to the ghats for the evening aarti.
