By bus[edit]
Haridwar’s bus station, a stone’s throw from the train station, is chaotic and has no signage whatsoever in English. There are regular bus services from Delhi (theoretically 4 hours, in practice 6-8 hours), Rishikesh (1 hour) and other important towns of North India to Haridwar. Before booking the bus check the bus condition. Always go for cushioned and push-back seats. The long and bumpy ride will take a toll on your mood and body, as there is the shortage of AC buses during summer vacations, so always go before 1 or 1.5 hours your suitable time so as to get the prior reservation from the ticket window.
