Amritsar Tour

The Golden Temple

Rising out of the holy waters of Amrit Sagar Lake, the glittering dome of the Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is an awe-inspiring sight. Thousands of devotees and tourists visit this stunning edifice where people of all castes & nationalities are welcomed within its haloed portals. Take a trip to the Golden Temple, soak in its melodious prayers, meditate in the tranquil aura of the temple, and eat the delicious Kara Prasad, for a fulfilling experience.

Jallianwala Bagh Memorial

This moving memorial is built in the memory of hundreds of men, women, and children who were ruthlessly shot dead here during a peaceful protest against the British rule. The bullet-marred walls, the obelisk memorial, & the eternal flame at Jallianwala are poignant reminders of the supreme sacrifice of the Indian freedom fighters.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum & Panorama

This palace-converted-museum of Maharaja Ranjit Singh is home to archives, paintings, miniatures, coins, and weapons prevalent during his reign. The Panorama, built in the sprawling Ram Bagh Gardens near the palace, presents his life through paintings, three-dimensional figures, and multimedia presentations.

Durgiana Temple

Dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Durga, this temple is constructed on the lines of the Golden Temple. Built on a lake, this gold-domed structure is much visited, especially during the Navratri festival, when the country celebrates the nine forms of the goddess.

Wagah Border

If the sad reminders of Jallianwala Bagh moved you, then Wagah Border will definitely be a soul-stirring experience. The lone road border between India and Pakistan, Wagah is the place to watch beating-the- retreat ceremony at sunset, when the national flags are lowered, and border gates are closed for the day.
