India · AMRITSAR AND THE GOLDEN TEMPLE
50 reviewed
Amritsar is a one-day city with three fixed points. The Golden Temple and its langar, which serves free meals to tens of thousands of people a day. Jallianwala Bagh, the walled garden where troops fired on an unarmed crowd in 1919. And the flag ceremony at the Wagah border in the late afternoon. Below are the 15 tours covering them, what each includes, when they start, and how the timing works if you want all three. Heads are covered and shoes left outside at the temple, and visitors are welcome in the langar.

“We had an incredible day with our guide Ajit Singh in Amritsar. He was a great guide and in a very relaxed and calm style explained in very clear english about the historic events that happened at Jallianwalla Bagh. He took us around the uncomparable Golden Temple and showed us around in the Temple's Community Kitchen, an unbelievable place where people can eat for free 24hrs a day. We also had the opportunity to spend enough time in the Partition Museum, a must when visiting Amritsar. After an excellent lunch Ajit and his driver took us to the indo-pakistan border for the unique flag lowering ceremony. We will never forget…”
