Best time to visit Haridwar

Summers in Haridwar (March-June)

March is considered the ideal month because the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. Skies are blue amidst the daytime, and in the evening, golden hues of sunset can be seen on the Ghats where the Ganga Aarti ceremony is performed. March marks the celebration of Ramnavami in Haridwar. The commencement of April marks plenty of sunshine, and days tend to get warmer than the March month. 

But it doesn’t affect the outdoor trips. When the May months start, the temperature turns hot in the evening, but nights are relatively comfortable. Therefore, it is suggested to embark on evening sightseeing during the May month in Haridwar. Tourists must attend the evening Aarti ceremony followed by the holy bath.

The Haridwar turns into complete sunshine in June, and days are mildly overcast. If you plan to visit Haridwar during June, attend the Saavan festival. However, the sunlight may eradicate your plans for sightseeing because the temperature remains hot during the day. But one can pray for peace in the evening at the temple and explore old monuments.
