Just 6 km away from the city of Haridwar, this temple is situated atop a mountain on the bank of river Ganga. Neel Parvat (Blue Mountain) as the mountain is called, is just a 3 km trek from Chandighat. In the Hindu mythology, Goddess Chandi symbolizes power. The temple is dedicated to the Goddess who it is believed killed a demon. Although you can climb the hill, there is also a ropeway for the not so strong visitors.

Har Ki Pairi ghat is the prime tourist attraction of Haridwar. This wonderful riverside bank was constructed by King Vikramaditya in memory of his brother Bhartrihari. It is said that all the sins that a mortal commits are washed out by bathing at this river-bank. In the evening just when the Sun is about to go down below the horizon, priests perform the religious rite on the bank of the river. This is extremely scenic and people join in the devotional song. After the ritual is over, small candles are floated on the river. The place looks enchanting. The atmosphere is very peaceful and you will surely love it.

Moosouri is a beautiful hill-station. It is just a couple of hours drive away from Haridwar. This beautiful town on the top of a mountain is a paradise for nature lovers. From here, you can see the Kempty Falls and the Thousand Falls. Kempty Falls is one of the highest falls in India. As you stand near the plunge pool you look up and see the height from where the water is falling. Thousand Falls is, however, very picturesque. It is called a Thousand Falls because you will see water drizzle down from innumerable places. The place is very picturesque and very popular among tourists.
