One of the best things about traveling from Haridwar to Delhi is when to go.
If you don’t plan accordingly, you’ll spend several hours stuck in City traffic.
Most People Depart Early in The Mornings (Between 5:00 am-7:00 am)
This is by far the best time to travel from Haridwar to other major cities. Your early morning travel will also allow for you to leave local Greenwood traffic behind and get to Delhi before the evening rush hour traffic is present.
Late Night (9:00 PM onwards)
If you prefer night driving, the roads are empty, and you can reach Delhi in record time. Our drivers are trained for safe night driving.
Seasonal Considerations
- Kanwariya Yatra (July-August): Pilgrims on their Kanwariya Yatra often have to travel on NH334 during the holy month of Sawan; as a result NE334 is sometimes closed or heavily limited/delayed for Kanwariyas. If you’re traveling during this time, expect travel times to be twice longer than normal. Our drivers will find alternative routes via Bijnor or Yamuna Expressway to help ensure you reach home.
- Dense fog (Winter) April will significantly limit your ability to see clearly. Therefore, we do not recommend starting your long-distance journey during December or January until after sunlight breaks the horizon.
Additionally, we do not operate only within the limits of the capital city but provide pickup and delivery services for all locations in the NCR.
1. Haridwar to Delhi Airport (IGI) Taxi
Are you going to fly out? The driving distance between Haridwar and Indira Gandhi International Airport (DiGa) terminals 1 or 3 is about 5.5 to 6 hours, traffic permitting; so leave yourself an additional 60 minutes in case there is an unexpected delay due to traffic in the vicinity of Dhaula Kuan.
2. Railway Station in New Delhi from Haridwar
Are you taking a train? We drop you off directly at the Ajmeri Gate or Paharganj side of the station.
3. (Gurgaon/Noida/Ghaziabad) from Haridwar

Essential Things to Do Before Departing Haridwar
Before you jump into your Chiku Cab to head home, make sure that you have checked off these important things from your list:
- Ganga Aarti: If you’re leaving early enough, you can see the morning Aarti done at Har Ki Pauri.
- Prasad: Take home some authentic ‘Pedas’ or Ganga Jal bottled water as prasad after visiting the temples.
- Local Food: Have yourself a quick breakfast of Aloo Puri at Mohan Ji Puri Wale or Hoshiyar Puri.
India’s travel is full of uncertainty, but we do our best to prepare.
- Traffic congestion around Modinagar is very bad. Solution: Drivers will use an alternative route, the Upper Ganga Canal, if the highway is congested.
- Lines at Toll Booths: Trying to get through the lines waiting at the toll booth takes too long. Our solution is to equip all of Chiku Cabs with FastTag to make crossing toll booths quick.
- Lack of GPS Connectivity: There are areas where the GPS does not work. The solution is that our drivers know the backroads in their communities very well and do not depend upon technology alone to get them where they need to go.
