1. Ganga Aarti at Haridwar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
Ganga Aarti Means Prayer for the River Ganges. The Ganga is holy river in India. It is worshiped as a goddess. It is providing life in the form of water to India. Every day Morning and Evening Ganga Aarti is organized at Har Ki Pauri. Morning time is approximately 05:30 AM in winter and 06:30 AM in Summer according to Sunrise. Evening time for Ganga Aarti is approximately 05:30 PM in winter and 06:30 in summer. Evening Ganga aarti is widely visited by people in stead of morning. There is no entry fees or charges for the ceremony. Evening at sunset priests perform Ganga Aarti here, when lights are set on the water to drift downstream. This is the most amazing and soul touching spectacle. A large number of people gather on both the banks of river Ganges to sing its praises. The priest hold large fire bowls in their hands, the bells in the temples at the Ghat start ringing and the chants flowing out of lips fill the air. People float diyas (candle), with burning flickers and flowers in them as a symbol of hope and wishes .The golden hues of floral diyas reflected in the river Ganges present the most enchanting sight. Note: 01. Reach little early to get good place to view the ceremony. Best place to view the ceremony is little island type of place called Malviya Dwip. From there you can view the ceremony from front side. 02. If you do not want to sit on the floor (which is free) there are some wooden platform are there which is run by local families. They will charge you Rs.50 Per person. 03. Some fake people may come to you and ask for donations. You are not supposed to give any donation to any one. However the place and ceremony is maintained by Ganga Sabha so if you want you can donate them. 04. Try to avoid priests if you dont want to do any Pooja (prayers) because after little prayer they expect money from you.

We were fortunate to experience the AARTI (03/11/17) during sunset, along the River Ganges, across the river from the priests (pujaris). The chanting begins before sunset, and you can view several worshipers bathing in the river, as well as many people placing floating lit candle offerings in the river. Expect to be there early, as large crowds will be there to compete for good Seating. We had a bit of rain during our stay, but was able to secure Seating under a vendors tarp (for a small fee, of course). Later, large bundles of stacked wood are put on fire, for further celebration and to ward off evil spirits. I always carry small currency denominations for offerings, tips, etc. I was able to fill bottles of water, directly from the Ganges, and give them to all my Indian friends, back in the USA.

SOAR TWO HUNDRED FEET HIGH OVER THE RIVER GANGES Fly high over the River Ganges at Flying Fox Rishikesh, our latest high-adrenaline thrill trip in partnership with Snow Leopard Adventures. Two sensational zip lines up to 400m long catapult you across the white water rapids at Shivpuri, with unbelievable views of the Himalayan foothills, the mighty Ganga and the rafting crews 70 metres below. The tour takes 45-60 minutes, including safety brief, practice zip, zip tour and the (customary) short forest walk. It's an ideal adventure to add to a day to your white water rafting or trekking trip.

6. Tiger Falls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 53 reviews
Reviewed By Payal37 - Dehradun, India, Asia
Nestled in a beautiful valley, Tiger falls is a place you might want to visit if you are around. The caveat is that the pool in which the falls fall is rather small. A group more than ten people can overcrowd the place.
The falls are a long drive away and the gates welcoming you on the way build your expectations to unrealistic heights. The falls are a long way down and I believe it is walk for the fit, not for the food lovers like me. In the end of the long walk, the falls though beautiful are a little underwhelming.
But compared to commercialization of Kempty falls, I would pick the Tiger falls any day.
