Travel & arrival

By rail

Haridwar Railway Station is the main rail gateway. Arrange onward local transport to the hill approach or ropeway boarding point.

By air

Jolly Grant Airport serves the region. Confirm onward road travel before departure.

Temple approach

The hilltop shrine is reached on foot or by ropeway. Confirm ropeway operation and local access restrictions before visiting.

Festival visits

During Kumbh and other major gatherings, follow current district administration travel and crowd-management notices.

Check current route conditions, local transport and festival traffic before travelling.

Darshan & visitor guidance

Darshan information

Plan time for both the ascent and the return journey. The walking route involves uphill travel; the Udan Khatola ropeway offers an alternative when in service. Confirm the latest opening hours, ropeway timetable, fares and any temple-specific restrictions before departure.

Carry water as appropriate, keep footwear and offerings in accordance with on-site instructions, and avoid blocking pathways or queues. During Kumbh bathing dates and other crowded occasions, district traffic diversions and crowd-control arrangements may change access. Follow official announcements rather than relying on old travel schedules.

Prepare for your visit

  • Confirm current darshan hours and entry arrangements.
  • Allow time for queues, especially during festivals.
  • Follow the temple’s dress, footwear and photography rules.
