Ganga Dussehra in Haridwar and Rishikesh

MayJunedates shift yearly

Large bathing crowds at Har Ki Pauri. Coincides with the pre-monsoon heat, so start early in the day.

Can fall in May or June. It follows a lunar calendar, so the date moves every year — confirm it before booking anything non-refundable.
