HARIDWAR is a much visited temple town. Rishikesh, its twin town, is where River Ganga - the Ganges - descends from the Himalayan ranges into the plains. Venerated by the faithful & the grateful for supporting farming and life, for nourishing & sustaining cities on its banks over thousands of known years......Ganga in rapid flow is an awesome sight. Her epic journey truly begins here.
Rajaji National Park, hems it for a while to one side. Host to Elephants, Tigers, Panthers, and gentler wildlife, an early morning or evening walk through the woods (guided) lifts up the spirit of the city dweller. We didn't encounter danger but the probability kept blood in a rush.
