Start your journey in Amritsar with an early morning visit to Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), the holiest shrine in Sikhism. Experience the divine serenity as you take a holy dip in the sacred Sarovar (pond) and offer prayers at the temple. Absorb the peaceful surroundings, listen to the melodious Gurbani (hymns), and embrace the spiritual aura of this revered site.
After seeking blessings, head to Guru Ka Langar, one of the largest community kitchens in the world, where thousands of devotees are served free meals daily. Enjoy the simple yet delicious meal as part of the Sikh tradition of selfless service.
Next, visit Jallianwala Bagh, a historic site that stands as a poignant reminder of India’s struggle for independence. Explore the memorial, see the preserved bullet marks, and pay tribute to the martyrs who lost their lives in the tragic massacre of 1919.
In the afternoon, embark on a one-hour drive (about 32 km) to the Wagah Border, arriving before 2:30 PM to secure a good viewing spot for the famous Beating the Retreat Ceremony. Witness the electrifying display of patriotism as Indian and Pakistani soldiers engage in a synchronized parade, accompanied by loud cheers and nationalistic fervor from the audience. The lowering of the flags at sunset marks the end of this incredible experience.
After an eventful day, return to your hotel in Amritsar for a comfortable overnight stay.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel before checking out. Depending on your departure schedule, you may explore local markets for souvenirs or indulge in a traditional Punjabi breakfast. Later, proceed to the railway station or airport for your onward journey, carrying unforgettable memories of Amritsar’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
