The tour begins as you arrive at Amritsar in the state of Punjab. Our tour representative escorts you to the booked hotel.
Rest for some time and then visit the brilliantly designed Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) where the Sikh Community worship the Holy Scripture called Granth Sahib as their Guru. The reflection of the grand golden dome in the crystal clear Sarovar (pool) and the infinite mysticism spread all around should instantly attract your attention. Pray at the shrine and spend few minutes drinking in the serenity near the pool.
Later, visit the historical Jallianwala Bagh where hundreds of innocent Indians were massacred by the British during colonial rule. It is heart-wrenching to see the bullet marks and blood stains at the memorial. Your next destination would be Wagah Border which marks the international boundary between India and Pakistan.
