Cheap Resorts in Haridwar: what to know

Haridwar is built around its ghats. Har Ki Pauri and the Upper Road are the walkable pilgrim centre, closest to the evening Ganga aarti and the busiest at festivals; Kankhal and Bhupatwala are calmer, ashram-lined neighbourhoods; Shantikunj and Saptrishi sit along the river towards Rishikesh; Jwalapur, Ranipur and the Delhi Road are practical bases with easier parking. For big snan days, stay within walking distance of the ghat you plan to bathe at.

  • Most cheap resorts are in Kharkhari (2), Rishikesh Road & Motichur (2), Bhupatwala (1).
  • 10 have a star rating, including 2 five-star and 5 four-star.
  • 5 (50%) allow pets and 1 (10%) are on or facing the Ganga.

Coming for the Kumbh 2027?

Haridwar fills up months ahead of the Kumbh. Stay within walking distance of the ghat you plan to bathe at, expect road closures around the big snan days, and book early. For a calmer base, Rishikesh is about 25 km upriver.

Cheap Resorts in Haridwar: tips before you book

Prices are each stay's listed starting price per night, usually for its smallest room. Festival days, the Kanwar Yatra and big snan days fill the town first, and prices rise then; quieter months cost less. Staying a week or more? Ask for a weekly rate, many small places will agree.

Cheaper rooms are often simpler, so check the basics before you book: hot water, a fan or AC, Wi-Fi if you need it, and whether the room is up several flights of stairs.
