Top places to visit in Amritsar
Golden Temple
The Golden Temple stands as a beacon of spirituality, unity, and service. Floating like a shimmering mirage of gold on the tranquil waters of Amrit Sarovar, the temple is a place of worship and a symbol of Sikh values such as equality, service, and community. It owes its name to the astonishing 400 kilograms of pure gold leaf adorning the dome.
Wagah Border Ceremony
The Attari-Wagah border is a crossing between India and Pakistan that is known for its Beating Retreat ceremony, which is held each evening as the border closes. Visit at the end of the day to see the guards from both sides march in elaborate military costumes and face-off across the border in front of packed crowds.
Jallianwala Bagh
This garden houses a memorial to commemorate the massacre of peaceful celebrators by the British forces. Spread over 6.5 acres of land, it is associated with one of the saddest days in Indian History when thousands of innocent people were killed on the orders of General Dyer as they gathered for a peaceful celebration of Baisakhi.
Heritage Walk
Explore Amritsar's historic old city with an expert local guide, discovering atmospheric lanes, traditional bazaars, historic havelis and centuries-old shrines. Learn about the city's Sikh and Punjabi heritage while observing everyday life beyond the main tourist sights. The walk can be combined with local food stops, offering a more intimate perspective on Amritsar's living culture and traditions.
"We recommend visiting the community kitchen at the Golden Temple, where thousands of meals are prepared and served each day by volunteers as part of the Sikh tradition of langar. With a private local guide, you can learn about the principles of seva (selfless service), witness the remarkable scale of the operation and, where possible, spend time observing or participating in the service. It offers a rare and meaningful insight into the spirit of equality, generosity and community that lies at the heart of Amritsar."
