Amritsar Tour
On Day 01:
We commence our journey in Amritsar, receiving guests from their respective locations. Our first destination is the renowned Golden Temple, affectionately known as Harmandir Sahib. This sacred edifice stands on the banks of the sacred lake Hari Kund, adorned with an expanse of pure gold donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab. It serves as the spiritual heart of Sikhism, housing a vast communal kitchen capable of preparing meals for over one lakh individuals daily.
After visiting the Golden Temple, we proceed to explore Jallianwala Bagh, a poignant site steeped in history. This memorial commemorates the infamous massacre carried out by British General Reginald Dyer in 1919, where hundreds were brutally killed. Following this sombre yet significant visit, we embark on the Wagha Border Ceremony near the Amritsar International Airport. This nightly ritual involves the ceremonial salute conducted by the Indian Army, marking the conclusion of our tour.
At the end of the day, we return to our accommodations, ready for a restful night's sleep.

This temple is characterized by its resemblance to the Golden Temple, featuring gardens around its central pond. Dedicated to Goddess Durga, this ancient structure dates back to 1921 and showcases rich architectural and religious heritage.
Following our devotional visit, we delve into the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum. This magnificent palace, now designated as the Summer Palace of the first Sikh monarch, offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the early Sikh rulers. Visitors can marvel at the intricate artworks and artifacts displayed here, providing insight into the historical significance of these relics.
For dinner, we indulge in the vibrant markets of Amritsar, renowned for their bustling atmosphere and diverse offerings. Here, you'll find yourself surrounded by traditional Punjabi attire and cuisine.
