A silent retreat, Uttarakhand's holiest Hindu city, Haridwar, offers a spiritual experience like no other. Also called Hardwar, which means "gateway to God," it welcomes pilgrims all-round the year. Hundreds of temples tell the stories related to Hindu mythology and perform the evening aarti along the banks of the Ganges.
However, what many don't know that Haridwar has evolved as a spiritual hub with its various yoga and meditation retreats. You can spend some time basking in moments of spiritual awakening in any of the ashrams. Or you can join a yoga center and learn the basics of holistic living. You can even go for a small trek in the nearby jungles or just sit at the sacred ghats along the Ganga.

It also houses several vibrant white sculptures of Hindu gods. Recognized for outstanding lodging services, it has 512 rooms where the pilgrims are offered free accommodation.
