Arrive at Amritsar Airport, Railway Station, or Bus Stand, where you will be welcomed and picked up in a comfortable AC Tempo Traveller, Sedan Cab, or SUV Innova/Crysta, depending on your group size and preference. Proceed for hotel check-in and take some time to relax. After lunch, head straight to the iconic India-Pakistan Wagah Border to witness the electrifying Beating Retreat Ceremony, a patriotic display of precision, strength, and national pride performed by the soldiers of both countries. In the evening, enjoy shopping in the vibrant local markets of Amritsar like Katra Jaimal Singh, Hall Bazaar, and Lawrence Road, known for phulkari embroidery, traditional juttis, and Amritsari spices and souvenirs. On guest request, visit the Golden Temple at night, when the shrine glows in full glory and the calm, spiritual ambiance is truly magical. Return to the hotel for an overnight stay.
After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, begin your Amritsar city tour by visiting the spiritual heart of the city – the Harimandir Sahib (Golden Temple). Soak in the peaceful ambiance of this sacred Sikh shrine, surrounded by the holy Amrit Sarovar. Just a short walk away is the Jallianwala Bagh, a poignant memorial that commemorates the tragic massacre of innocent Indians by British forces in 1919. The preserved bullet marks and eternal flame pay tribute to the lives lost. Next, visit the Durgiana Temple, often referred to as the “Silver Temple,” which resembles the architecture of the Golden Temple but is dedicated to Goddess Durga. Continue your tour to Mata Lal Devi Temple, known for its colorful interiors and maze-like pathways, often compared to the Vaishno Devi shrine. Later, head to the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum and Panorama, located in Ram Bagh Garden. This historical site showcases artifacts, weapons, paintings, and a 3D panoramic display of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s life and valor. After a day full of culture, history, and spirituality, return to your hotel for a relaxing overnight stay.
After enjoying a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, it’s time to pack up your memories of Amritsar. You will be transferred to the Amritsar Airport/Railway Station in a comfortable vehicle for your onward journey.
