Amritsar is an enthralling city of Punjab immersed in history and culture. The city has witnessed numerous historic battles which have left lifetime impressions on it. Travelers flock here to see a mix of vibrant cultures, great past, jovial locals, colorful traditions and splendid nature.
No trip to Amritsar can ever end without visiting the Harmandir Sahib, popularly known as the Golden Temple. This is Sikhism’s holiest shrine and is visited by people of all religious. The architecture of this temple is breathtaking shimmering in gold. It is nestling with the holy lake (sarovar) where pilgrims can be seen taking a drip to wash away their sins. Do not miss eating food at the langar organized here which is made and served by the pilgrims only. To walk down the memory lanes, visit the Jallianwala Bagh of Amritsar. This is the place where troops of the British Army soldiers fired into a crowd of unarmed protesters on 13 April, 1919. The walls of Jallianwala Bagh still bear marks of bullets and it remains one of the most significant places underlining the brutal past of Punjab.
