![]() ![]() The wildlife in the Shyampur reserve forest has traditionally been dependent on the Ganga for their water requirements, and elephants have been known to cross over the river to reach the agricultural fields on the other bank. The left bank of Ganga runs in alignment with the Shyampur reserve forest of Haridwar Forest Division - interspersed with townships of Kangri, Gaziwali, Shyampur, Sajanpur Peeli, and Tantwala. The western boundary of Haridwar town runs along the Eastern boundary of RTR’s Haridwar and Ranipur Ranges. Haridwar also lies in close vicinity of the Rajaji Tiger Reserve (RTR), which is endowed with rich population of elephants, tigers and leopards, in addition to other wildlife. It cherishes supreme religious repute, and holds unparalleled religious significance amongst Hindus across the globe. The township of Haridwar is located along the right bank of Ganga. A large area along the banks of river Ganga has been reserved as Maha Kumbh area, where facilities for lodging and holy-baths will be established and ensured for lakhs of pilgrims. Haridwar is gearing up to host the Maha Kumbh Mela next month, which will witness one of the largest gatherings of people in the country.
