Itinerary

  1. Golden Temple

    3 hours

    The Golden Temple in Amritsar, also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib, is a must-visit for tourists seeking peace, culture, and spirituality. This iconic Sikh shrine is famous for its breathtaking gold-plated architecture and the serene Amrit Sarovar (holy water tank) surrounding it. Open to people of all faiths, the temple offers a unique experience with its warm hospitality and free community kitchen (langar) that serves thousands daily. Don’t miss the peaceful early morning prayers and the beautiful night view when the temple glows under the lights. It’s a perfect blend of devotion, history, and hospitality.

  2. Jallianwala Bagh

    40 min

    Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar is a historic public garden that stands as a powerful reminder of India's struggle for independence. On April 13, 1919, British troops opened fire on a peaceful gathering here, killing hundreds of innocent men, women, and children. Today, the site is preserved as a memorial, featuring the Martyrs’ Well, bullet marks on the walls, and a flame-shaped monument. A visit to Jallianwala Bagh offers tourists a moving insight into colonial history and the sacrifices made for India's freedom.

  3. The Partition Museum

    30 min

    The Partition Museum in Amritsar, housed in the historic colonial-era Town Hall just a 5–7 minute walk from the Golden Temple, is the world’s first museum dedicated to preserving the memories of the 1947 Partition

  4. Katra Jaimal Singh Market

    1 h 10 min

    Katra Jaimal Singh Market in Amritsar is one of the city’s oldest and most famous shopping destinations, known for its rich history and vibrant atmosphere. Located near the Golden Temple, this bustling market has been a hub for traditional Punjabi fashion for decades. Tourists can explore a wide variety of items, including Phulkari embroidery, Punjabi suits, shawls, juttis (traditional footwear), and wedding attire. With its narrow lanes, colorful shops, and friendly shopkeepers, Katra Jaimal Singh offers an authentic shopping experience and a glimpse into Amritsar’s cultural and textile heritage.

  5. Wagah Border

    3 h 30 min

    The Wagah Border Ceremony, held daily at the India-Pakistan border near Amritsar, is a must-see patriotic event for tourists. Known as the Beating Retreat Ceremony, it began in 1959 and symbolizes the rivalry and cooperation between the two nations. Just before sunset, soldiers from the Border Security Force (India) and the Pakistan Rangers perform a coordinated drill with high kicks, salutes, and the ceremonial lowering of both countries’ flags. The energetic parade, patriotic slogans, and enthusiastic crowds make it a lively and emotional experience that reflects the spirit of national pride and unity.
