Day 1: Amritsar Arrival at Guru Ram Dass Ji Airport / Railway Station
On your arrival at the airport or the railway station, our cab driver will pick you and drive you to the hotel. Freshen up and later start your Amritsar Local Tour by visiting city’s spiritual centre, the Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple. This remarkable Gurudwara emerges from the Amrit Sarovar, welcoming all who come to its banks. For Sikhs, it is the ultimate place of pilgrimage and their faith’s highest shrine.
It’s best to arrive early in the morning to witness the temple at its most mystical and avoid the worst of the crowds. Join the streams of pilgrims walking across the marble causeway to the inner sanctum, where the Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy scripture) is housed.
Marvel at the gilded domes glittering in the early morning light. Find a spot on the cool marble floor of the inner sanctum to sit and soak up the atmosphere of chanting, prayer and quiet contemplation. You can also enjoy the free Langar meal served to all visitors regardless of faith, caste or creed. You can also help out with the dish washing afterwards!
After enjoying the Langar, you can visit the Central Sikh Museum and Pray at the Akal Takht, the highest seat of authority for Sikhs. And be sure to pause on the causeway for the quintessential selfie with the Golden Temple as a backdrop!
After Golden Temple, delve into the city’s complex history with a visit to Jallianwala Bagh. The site of the horrific 1919 massacre of unarmed Indians by British troops, Jallianwala Bagh memorialises an important – albeit deeply tragic – moment in India’s independence movement.
As you walk through the narrow passageway into the courtyard where hundreds were shot by the British army, envision the chaos and tragedy that unfolded. Pay your respects at the red sandstone memorial erected in honour of those slain. Within the park there is a museum where you can learn about that fateful day through sculptures, photos and placards.
Exiting Jallianwala Bagh through the passageway where many attempted to flee the gunfire provides perspective on the massacre’s brutality. Although a solemn experience, visiting Jallianwala Bagh connects you to Amritsar’s role in India’s path to independence.
End your Amritsar getaway with a patriotic evening at the border closing ceremony between India and Pakistan. Each evening just before sunset, border troops from both nations take part in an elaborate flag-lowering ritual set against a backdrop of cheering crowds.
Arrive early to get a good spot at the stadium facing the border. As the sunset colours fade, the elaborate military spectacle begins with a parade by both sides set to thumping martial tunes. Soldiers strut with high kicks and aggressive gestures meant to showcase their strength compared to the opposing nation. Once the flags are lowered, the gates linking the two countries slam shut. The crowd roars with applause and pride. Attending the Wagah-Attari border closing ceremony allows you to glimpse the legacy of Partition and the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. The ceremony’s theatrical nature also provides entertainment at the end of your Amritsar visit! Return back to your hotel for night stay.
