The Golden Temple is the holiest shrine for Sikhs. It is an architectural marvel and is visited by millions of people every year. The temple complex is surrounded by a lake and four entrances, representing the openness of the Sikhs towards people of all faiths and backgrounds. In the evening, witness the Palki Sahib ceremony where the holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, is carried from the main shrine to the inner sanctum on a palanquin.
Wagah Border is the border crossing between India and Pakistan and offers an experience of a lifetime. Witness the lowering of the flags ceremony that takes place every evening just before sunset. The ceremony is a show of military might and is a symbol of the sour-sweet relationship of India and Pakistan. Cheer for your country as the soldiers march and perform their duties with utmost splendour.
If you have an extra day in Amritsar, visit Jallianwala Bagh and Durgiana Temple. To explore the local cuisine of Amritsar, visit Kesar Da Dhaba and try their famous stuffed parathas. Make sure to carry sunscreen and water bottles while visiting these places to stay hydrated and avoid getting sunburnt.
