Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, add a half‑day excursion to the nearby town of Batala to explore its historic forts and enjoy more authentic Punjabi cuisine. To shorten the itinerary, skip the evening market on Day 2 and replace the Wagah Border visit with a relaxed afternoon at the Ranjit Avenue park, which will still give you a taste of Amritsar’s culture while reducing travel time.
