Four tried itineraries, a vehicle sized to your group and a driver who knows which approach road is open today. Available year round, not only during the mela.
Approximately 4–5 hours
Best for: Travellers on a tight connection, or a gentle first afternoon.
Usually run in the afternoon so that it finishes at the evening aarti.
Approximately 8 hours
Best for: The complete city in one day, at a reasonable pace.
Both hill temples by cable car to keep the day manageable.
Approximately 10 hours
Best for: Visitors who want both river towns and have only one day.
Includes the Rishikesh riverfront and the Lakshman Jhula area, which sit outside the Haridwar attraction list above.
2 days
Best for: Older travellers, families with small children, or anyone who dislikes being rushed.
Two half-days of sightseeing with rest built in, rather than one long push.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|

| Coach | 27 passengers and above | Institutional and temple groups |
We quote per itinerary rather than publishing a rate card, because the fare depends on the vehicle, distance, waiting time and whether your dates fall in the mela or Char Dham season.
Call, WhatsApp or send an enquiry and we will reply with a written, itemised quotation.
What to see in Haridwar, what each place actually is, and how to reach it — including honest notes on access, crowds and the things that change during a mela.
The Ardh Kumbh returns to Haridwar in 2027. We are based in Kankhal, ten minutes from Har Ki Pauri, and we have worked every Haridwar mela since 2010 — here are the announced dates, what is still to be notified, and how to plan around both.
The practical side: how to get there, what it is physically like, what to bring, how to stay safe in very large crowds, and which official sources to check before you travel.
Six ways to attend, each with its transport, stay basis, inclusions and exclusions set out in full — and a quotation process with no headline price you later discover was not the real one.
