Delhi to Haridwar is about 228 km by road — 4–5 hours in a car, most of it on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway, then NH334. A one-way taxi costs from ₹3,200 with us, fixed before you leave. A pilgrimage for most, timed around the Ganga aarti at sunset or a holy day.
How far is Haridwar from Delhi?
About 228 km, measured door to door between the two city centres — the distance the fares below are worked out on. Starting from the edge of either city, or going on to a suburb, changes it by a few kilometres either way.
In a car it takes 4–5 hours. That is worked out at 42 to 55 km an hour, which is what these roads really average once the town crossings, toll queues and a tea stop are counted. A maps app will show less; it is quoting an empty road.
The road from Delhi to Haridwar
Most trips take the Delhi–Meerut Expressway, then NH334. Leaving Delhi, it runs through:
- Delhi
- Ghaziabad
- Meerut
- Muzaffarnagar
- Roorkee
- Haridwar
Coming back from Haridwar, it is the same road with the towns the other way round. The driver picks the road on the day — traffic and roadworks decide it more than the map does — and if you want a particular one, say so when you set off.
On the way
- Roorkee — the last town before Haridwar, home of the old engineering college on the Ganga canal.
- Har Ki Pauri — the ghat at the heart of Haridwar, where the Ganga aarti is held every evening.
- Rishikesh — a short way further up the Ganga, if the trip carries on.
To stop at any of them, add it as a stop when you book. The fare shown is for the direct trip; the desk calls to confirm what a stop adds before you travel. With a round trip the same driver waits while you are there.
Taxi fare, Delhi to Haridwar and back
Every car, both directions one way, and a round trip with the return on the same day. The one-way fares include the driver, fuel and GST. Toll, parking and state entry tax are not in any column — they are paid on the road as they come. Driving after 10 pm adds a night allowance of ₹250.

Staying a night or two
A round trip keeps the same car and driver with you for every day you are away, so it is priced for every day. These are the fares for coming back on the same day, the next day, and the day after, with the return date put into the booking form.
| Car | Same day | 2 days | 3 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hatchback | ₹4,560 | ₹5,000 | ₹7,500 |
| Dzire | ₹5,020 | ₹5,500 | ₹8,250 |
| Ertiga | ₹5,930 | ₹6,500 | ₹9,750 |
| Innova Crysta | ₹8,210 | ₹9,000 | ₹13,500 |
| Tempo Traveller (12 seater) | ₹11,400 | ₹12,500 | ₹18,750 |
| Tempo Traveller (14 seater) | ₹11,856 | ₹13,000 | ₹19,500 |
| Tempo Traveller (16 seater) | ₹13,224 | ₹14,500 | ₹21,750 |
| Force Urbania (16 seater) | ₹15,960 | ₹17,500 | ₹26,250 |
Driver’s night allowance is added for each night away and is not part of these fares. If the stay is long and the car would sit idle, two one-way bookings can come out cheaper — the one way or round trip guide works through when.
