My Grandparents' Wish to Visit Haridwar Turned into an Unforgettable Family Journey

While some tours are planned many months before, there are times when the journey starts because of a mere wish.

For our family, it was a Sunday evening when our grandfather quietly remarked, "It's been years since I visited Haridwar. I have not seen the Ganga for many years. If my body allows me, I want to visit Haridwar."

A brief silence prevailed in the room.

Our grandmother broke into a smile, our parents shared a glance, and our cousins started searching for possible dates of travelling. Within a few minutes, the simple wish turned into an assignment for the entire family.

In total, there were twelve people with us, ranging from a vibrant six-year-old child to grandparents who were nearing the age of seventy-eight. This time, we knew that this could not be a simple tour. All of us require ample space while traveling and also a comfortable travel experience for our grandparents.

Having compared many alternatives, we booked an Urbania Tempo Traveller on rent in Gurgaon from Livanshi Car Rental. We had read many good reviews about the maintenance of their vehicles and their chauffeurs. We needed a premium travel experience for the family.

It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.

A Calm Beginning to a Special Journey

We departed from Gurgaon before the first rays of sun appeared.

The city seemed to be unusually silent at that hour, and the fresh morning air made the start of our trip enjoyable. While the Force Urbania stopped near our house, all passengers appreciated its stylish look and comfortable interior.

With the help of my father, Grandfather got into the car, looked around, and smiled.

"This is more comfortable than I expected," he said.

These words alone made me sure that we have chosen the right car.

Our luggage was quickly loaded, everybody took comfortable seats, and soon we were moving toward Haridwar.

More Than Just Comfortable Seats

The atmosphere in Urbania underwent a complete transformation within the first hour itself.

The kids began to play travel games.

Grandma handed out homemade snacks.

My uncle played his list of songs through the speakers, and the whole cabin was filled with popular Hindi songs known to all.

Unlike our family trips earlier in different cars, everyone stayed together.

There was no need for frequent calls as to how far anyone had gone.

There was no need to make frequent stops, as someone else had been stuck behind us.

Everyone enjoyed traveling together.

Breakfast Beside the Highway

By eight in the evening, we halted at a roadside eatery that lay close to Muzaffarnagar.

Parathas, curds, tea, and jalebis came one by one to our dining table.

Grandfather started narrating tales of his very first trip to Haridwar some four decades back.

He spoke about the difference between roads in those days and how family outings needed lots of patience in those days, compared to what is needed now.

Such discussions in themselves made the trip worthwhile.

The Road to Haridwar Felt Effortless

As we moved ahead on our journey, the surroundings began to change.

The congested highways were replaced by greener scenery.

Scenic locations of small villages, sugarcane farms, roadside shrines, and faraway mountains formed a beautiful background.

Our comfortable ride allowed everybody to be at ease.

The children would frequently stand next to the big windows to look at the changing scenery around, while the grandparents would stay at ease because of the ample amount of sitting space provided.

Almost midway through our journey, my cousin expressed his experience of traveling in an Urbania Tempo Traveller in Gurgaon and how it was quite different from our previous holidays.

There was an ample amount of space, no tiredness, and enough space to accommodate everyone.

The Moment We Had Been Waiting For

As soon as we arrived at Haridwar, everything seemed holy right away.

The ringing of temple bells could be heard everywhere.

The pilgrims walked calmly towards Har Ki Pauri.

There was a very calming effect brought on by the cool winds of the Ganga River.

Grandfather silently stood there by the river for a few minutes.

He put his hands together, closed his eyes, and prayed.

Nobody disturbed him.

We knew how much this moment meant to him.

Sometimes it is the destination that matters.

Sometimes the feelings associated with it matter even more.

An Evening That Will Stay With Us Forever

On that day, we participated in the world-renowned ritual of Ganga Aarti.

There were many lamps reflecting in the river water.

Chants, bells, and burning diyas all added to the memorable experience.

Even the youngest members of our family became extraordinarily silent watching the ritual.

After it had ended, our grandmother grabbed our grandfather's hand and said,

"Thank God we came."

It was one of those moments that couldn’t be captured in any photograph.

Returning Home with More Than Memories

The next day, we started visiting some nearby temples before beginning our return journey.

Unlike many road trips where all members sleep during the journey back home, this one remained full of fun and laughter.

We talked about our upcoming vacations.

We shared pictures.

We planned for another family get-together.

Even the kids said that they felt like traveling in one car rather than traveling separately in different cars.

Approximately two hours into the return journey, my father said that deciding on the Urbania rental in Gurgaon had made the entire journey very comfortable and enjoyable for every generation of our family.

Indeed, looking around the cabin, it was difficult to deny it.

Lessons We Brought Home

In retrospect, we understood that this was much more than just going to Haridwar.

We realized that family vacations become even more significant because everyone is a part of it.

Kids discovered their family history.

Parents got a chance to escape from their hectic schedules.

Grandparents got an opportunity to fulfill a dream of theirs.

And we all left there with stories, which we are still talking about to date.

Sometimes, vacations come to an end when we are back at our place.

At other times, they don't.

Ours was definitely the latter.
