Where Spirituality meets Business

Haridwar – the eternal city, straddles the ancient and the modern with consummate ease. With a recorded history of more than 2,000 years, it is one of the 7 holiest cities of India.

Haridwar is the doorway to heaven – and is the starting point for the holy Char Dham yatra covering Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath. With the Har-ki-pauri, one of the holiest bathing ghats, Ganga Aarti and several Jain and Hindu temples, it is one of the 4 places to celebrate the Mahakhumb – considered the largest congregation of humans on the planet.

But there’s much more to Haridwar – it is the home of Ayurveda and the Gurukul form of education. The pandas (pundits) here record the genealogy (family tree) of Indian families. It is the location where the Ganges leaves the Himalayas and enters the plains and is a place of unmatched greenery and beauty. Add white water rafting, trekking trails and a national park and you can see that Haridwar is an all-rounder that can cater to all your holiday needs.

And Haridwar has a modern and industrial side to it as well. It is the 2nd largest city in Uttarakhand and home to BHEL and SIDCUL – with chemical, manufacturing, IT and auto industries. Along with Roorkee located nearby, it is a large industrial hub, located a quick 3 to 4 hours drive from Delhi and Chandigarh.
