Start your day with a visit to the Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib. This sacred site is not just a place of worship but also a symbol of peace, humility, and the rich Sikh heritage. Its stunning golden facade reflects the spirituality and devotion that draws millions of pilgrims and tourists from around the world. Spend some peaceful moments inside, marveling at the architecture, the divine atmosphere, and the holy Guru Granth Sahib.
After experiencing the tranquility of the Golden Temple, head to Jallianwala Bagh, a historical park located just a short walk away. This site is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during India’s struggle for independence. On April 13, 1919, a brutal massacre took place here when British forces opened fire on a peaceful crowd. Pay your respects and explore the memorial, which includes the preserved well where people tried to escape and the bullet-marked walls that still stand as a testament to the bravery and suffering of that time.

From Amritsari kulchas and lassi to chole bhature, the local food scene will leave your taste buds craving for more. Explore the vibrant food hubs around the city and savor the authentic flavors that make Amritsar a food lover’s paradise.
After a satisfying lunch, spend some free time shopping for traditional crafts and souvenirs. Amritsar is known for its colorful markets offering a wide range of items from Phulkari embroidery, juttis (traditional shoes), and Kangans (bangles) to beautiful religious artifacts. Visit Hall Bazaar and Katra Jaimal Singh Market for the perfect Amritsari shopping experience.
End your tour with a visit to the Wagah Border, located around 30 km from Amritsar. This border, between India and Pakistan, is famous for its ‘Beating Retreat’ ceremony that takes place every evening at sunset. Watch the soldiers of both countries perform a highly disciplined and dramatic ceremony, including a fierce parade, the lowering of flags, and the closing of the border gates. The ceremony is filled with patriotism, energy, and national pride.
After experiencing the history, culture, and spirit of Amritsar, your one-day tour will conclude, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this vibrant city.
