See All See All See All

The Golden Temple, or Sri Harmandir Sahib, located in the heart of Amritsar, Punjab, is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites for Sikhs and a symbol of universal peace and equality. Its shimmering golden dome reflects beautifully in the surrounding Amrit Sarovar (holy tank), offering a sense of calm and spiritual connection. Visitors from all over the world come here not only to seek blessings but also to experience the Langar, a free community kitchen that serves thousands of meals daily to all, regardless of background. Combined with Amritsar’s cultural richness, historical landmarks, and Punjabi hospitality, this tour offers both spiritual peace and vibrant memories.

Arrive in Amritsar via car or train and check in to your hotel. After some rest, head to the Wagah Border in the evening (about 30 km from the city) to witness the powerful Beating Retreat Ceremony at the Indo–Pak border — a patriotic and energetic performance by Indian and Pakistani soldiers. Return to Amritsar for dinner and overnight stay.
Start your day early with a peaceful visit to the Golden Temple during sunrise, when the temple glows and the morning prayers create a soothing atmosphere. Spend time walking around the sacred tank and participate in the Langar. Later, visit Jallianwala Bagh, the historic site of the 1919 massacre, and Partition Museum to understand India’s history. In the evening, you can explore the Gobindgarh Fort or shop for phulkari, juttis, and Amritsari kulchas in the local markets.
If time allows, make a second short visit to the Golden Temple or Durgiana Temple. After breakfast, check out from your hotel and begin your return journey with peace in your heart and vibrant culture in your memories.
