When Haridwar is the better gateway

Haridwar can be useful when the group is already in North India or wants a pilgrimage-first start. It may reduce city handling compared with a Delhi start, but flight connectivity and arrival timing still matter.

Decision Practical guidance
Use Haridwar When the group can reach Haridwar comfortably before the mountain route begins.
Use Delhi When flights, rest nights, or international arrival support are important.
Use Dehradun When the package or helicopter routing makes it operationally suitable.
