The Golden Temple is the holiest site of Sikhism and a must-visit attraction in Amritsar. Start your day early to witness the Palki Sahib ceremony where the Sikh holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, is carried into the temple. Afterward, take a tour of the temple and learn about the Sikh culture and history. Take a break and have a delightful langar (community meal) served in the temple's dining hall. In the evening, return to the temple to witness the beautiful night ceremony of the Guru Granth Sahib being carried to its resting place.
Start your day with a visit to Jallianwala Bagh, a public garden infamous for the 1919 Amritsar Massacre. Visit the Martyrs' Gallery museum to learn about the tragedy and the Indian freedom struggle. In the afternoon, head to Wagah Border, the only road border crossing between India and Pakistan. Enjoy the entertaining and patriotic flag lowering ceremony. Return to Amritsar for dinner and rest.
Spend your last day exploring the Gobindgarh Fort, a historic fort that has served as a royal residence, a garrison, and a jail. Take a guided tour of the fort, watch the 7-D show, and enjoy the live performances. In the afternoon, visit Ram Bagh, a beautiful garden built by the fourth Sikh guru, Guru Ram Das. Take a stroll, enjoy the musical fountain show, and have a picnic. End your day with some street food and souvenir shopping in the nearby Hall Bazaar.
