Haridwar Tour Package from Pune
Haridwar Tour Package from Pune: Itinerary, Non-Stop Flight Route & Rishikesh Yoga Add-On
Planned and reviewed by Govind Bisht, Operations, SnazzyTrips | Last updated: 28 October 2026
Pune has something most cities on our list don’t: a non-stop flight to Dehradun. IndiGo’s Pune–Jolly Grant service takes a little over two hours, and the airport sits about 20 km from Rishikesh and 40 km from Haridwar. You can leave Pune after lunch and watch the Ganga at dusk the same evening. There’s no direct train, so for most Pune travellers, flying is the clear choice.
Because the airport is closer to Rishikesh than Haridwar, this package runs in that order. You start with two nights in Rishikesh, including a morning yoga session by the river, which suits a city known around the world for Iyengar yoga. Then you move to Haridwar for two nights of temples, the Har Ki Pauri aarti and Kankhal’s old shrines. On the last day, the airport is a short drive away for the early-afternoon flight home.
SnazzyTrips is a local Uttarakhand-based DMC operating since 2003, with teams in Haldwani and Dehradun. To compare all routes, see our Haridwar trip packages.

🧭 Rishikesh First, Haridwar Second
Why the trip runs in this order
- Shortest first drive: Jolly Grant to Rishikesh is about 30 minutes, so you check in before dark.
- Yoga works best early: A full Day 2 in Rishikesh gives you a calm sunrise session before the town gets busy.
- Haridwar’s best moments come later: Two evenings in Haridwar mean two chances at the Har Ki Pauri aarti.
- Easy finish: Haridwar to the airport is about an hour, which fits the midday return flight.

If you’d rather take the train

- From Panvel: The weekly 22659 Superfast to Yog Nagari Rishikesh, which also stops at Haridwar.
- Via Delhi: Pune to Delhi by train, then a Shatabdi or Vande Bharat to Haridwar.
