Amritsar Sightseeing

Excursions

Golden Temple
The Golden Temple, or Harimandir Sahib, is the holiest temple of the Sikh religion. Built under the guidance of Guru Arjun Dev, the foundation was laid down on January 1589 by Mian Mir, a muslim saint and the temple was completed in 1601. This historical and beautiful temple with gold exterior is a must see for any visitor to Amritsar. Approached through the old city (walled city), and only a ten-minute drive from Ranjit's Svaasá, we highly recommend the night visit to experience the 'Night Palki' ceremony.

Jallianwallah Bagh
The garden in close proximity to the Golden Temple where pre-independence, the most gruesome massacre took place. Over 300 Indians were killed when General Dyer opened fire on a peaceful gathering leaving no scope of escape or protection by blocking the one and only entrance/exit gate.

Durgiana Temple
This is the largest Hindu temple in Amritsar that is very similar to the Golden Temple. Made by a Hindu priest, it houses all the idols of the Indian Gods & Goddesses that were uprooted from the 'Parikrama' of the Golden Temple complex.

Ram Bagh Garden
Once the royal gardens of Maharaja Ranjit Singh sprawling in the heart of Amritsar, today is it open to all. Here, in the middle lies the Museum that use to be his summer palace. Also admist the fountains stand his statue of riding a horse. Visited by hundreds of Amritsari's each day for morning & evening walks and other activities.

Khalsa College
An enormous red brick building with influences of Mughul architecture on the main Grand Trunk road en-route to Pakistan is the Khalsa College. Over a 100 years now, it was started to be an institution to educate the farmers children and today it runs as a full fledged college for girls and boys.

Wagah Border
Odd 30 km outside of Amritsar towards Pakistan is the Indo-Pak Border known as the Wagha Border. Every evening since the laying down of the Flag staff in October 1947, the 'Retreat Ceremony' takes place. Join hundreds of people from both sides of the border to see the dramatic ceremony and hear the cheers of "long live India" and "long live Pakistan" hollered across the border. Take a front row seat, right by the gates, or mingle in the crowd by the back. A trip to one of the most controversial borders in the world is a must for any visitor to Amritsar. Recently the ceremony has been seen by many people through Michael Palin's TV series. But we strongly recommend seeing it firsthand.
