Why Force Urbania is Perfect for Varanasi to Haridwar Journey

Varanasi to Haridwar is a long 650-km journey — and that is exactly where Force Urbania Maharaja shines. While a regular Tempo Traveller has pushback seats, the Maharaja's 1x1 fully reclining seats let passengers sleep almost flat during the overnight drive, arriving in Haridwar completely rested and ready for the holy dip at Har Ki Pauri.

Most groups choose to depart Varanasi at 9–10 PM, sleep through the journey in Maharaja recliners, and wake up at Haridwar around 7–8 AM — just in time for the morning Ganga aarti and snan. This overnight approach maximises your time at both Haridwar and Rishikesh without wasting a single hour at a hotel.

Char Dham Yatra Gateway: Haridwar is the traditional starting point for the Char Dham Yatra (Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri). Book your Force Urbania from Varanasi to Haridwar as the first leg of your complete Char Dham pilgrimage. We provide end-to-end Char Dham transport planning. Call +91-9005505053.

Recommended 2-Day Itinerary — Force Urbania from Varanasi

Day 1 Night — 9:30 PM: Depart Varanasi

Board Force Urbania Maharaja at your hotel or home. Recline your seat and sleep through the night as our experienced long-distance driver navigates via Lucknow Expressway → Moradabad → Haridwar. USB charging keeps your devices powered. Route: ~650 km via NH-30 and NH-74.

Day 2 — 7:30 AM: Har Ki Pauri, Haridwar

Arrive at Haridwar for the sacred Ganga snan at Har Ki Pauri — the holiest ghat where Ganga enters the plains. Morning atmosphere is magical: priests chanting, pilgrims bathing, marigolds and diyas floating downstream. Allow 2 hours here.

Day 2 — 10:00 AM: Mansa Devi & Chandi Devi Temples

Take the ropeway up to Mansa Devi Temple for a panoramic aerial view of Haridwar and the Ganga. Chandi Devi Temple (also ropeway access) is the other essential Haridwar temple. Both completed by noon.

Day 2 — 1:00 PM: Drive to Rishikesh (25 km)

After lunch at Haridwar, the Force Urbania drives to Rishikesh — just 25 km. Visit Laxman Jhula, Ram Jhula, Beatles Ashram, Parmarth Niketan and the numerous yoga centres. Rishikesh has a completely different spiritual energy from Haridwar — more meditative and international.

Day 2 — 6:00 PM: Parmarth Niketan Ganga Aarti

The evening Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan ashram in Rishikesh is one of India's most beautiful spiritual experiences — international visitors, Sanskrit chanting, fire lamps and the sacred Ganga flowing before you. Begin return to Varanasi after aarti.
