Reaching the temple
A ropeway runs from the base of Neel Parvat to the top. There is also a trekking path for those who prefer to walk.
From the top you can see Haridwar, the Ganga and, on a clear day, Mansa Devi on the opposite hill.
Nearby
Anjana Devi temple, dedicated to Hanuman ji's mother, is a short walk from Chandi Devi on the same hill.
What visitors say
“A visit to Haridwar feels incomplete without Maa Chandi Devi’s darshan.”

दर्शन के बाद, भोजन
After darshan, eat at Chotiwala
It is about a 7 minute drive back to us from the Chandi Devi ropeway. A full thali after two temple climbs is well earned.
