If you live in Delhi-NCR and are looking for a peaceful, spiritual getaway to spend some quality time with your family, you might usually think of visiting Haridwar. Known for its holy Ganga river and serene ghats, Haridwar is a place where devotees take a holy dip and soak in the tranquil vibes. But often, due to lack of time, planning a trip to Haridwar becomes difficult.

But here’s good news! You don’t need to travel all the way to Haridwar to experience that same spiritual aura. Just a short distance from Delhi lies ‘Chhota Haridwar’, where you can witness the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of a riverside ghat.

‘Chhota Haridwar’ is located in Muradnagar, Ghaziabad. This beautiful spot has become a symbol of faith and devotion for many. The ghat here closely resembles the iconic ghats of Haridwar, offering a similar atmosphere of spiritual calm. Devotees come here for worship, bathing rituals, and meditation.

The name ‘Chhota Haridwar’ perfectly captures the experience — the environment, the structure of the ghat, and the religious ceremonies on the riverbank all mirror the charm of Haridwar, just closer to home.

This destination is ideal for a weekend family outing. Located only a few hours away from Delhi, it offers a clean, serene environment filled with positive energy. The well-maintained ghat, the peaceful riverbank, and the surrounding temples create a picturesque setting that’s also a delight for photography lovers.

Spending time here will give you a refreshing break from the city’s hustle and bustle, allowing your family to relax and reconnect with nature and spirituality.
