Amritsar Tour Packages

About Amritsar Tourism: The “Gateway to Punjab,” Amritsar is a spiritual city renowned for the magnificent Golden Temple. Amritsar is an ideal holiday destination for you if you are a history and culture buff since it is quite famous for its beautiful gurudwaras, museums, historical sites, and food. Holidify has a bunch of fantastic Amritsar tour packages that are customisable and suitable for all kinds of travellers.

The Golden Temple, a stunning edifice made of gold and marble, is the holiest pilgrimage site for Sikhs that draws countless pilgrims and tourists. Perhaps of more spiritual significance is the Amrit Sarovar, a massive tank where visitors bathe to rid themselves of their sins. Furthermore, you mustn’t forget to visit the Langar, where visitors are served free nutritious food throughout the day.

You must pay a visit to the Akal Takht, the centre of Sikh political and administrative power, and Guru ke Mahal, established to provide shelter to Sikh gurus. Amritsar travel packages include other religious sites like the Gurdwara Mata Kaulan, Durgiana Temple, Goindwal Baoli and Tarn Taran Sahib. The 18th century Gobindgarh Fort is also a must-visit; the museum has exhibitions on various aspects of the Punjab culture.

One of the most prominent places to see when travelling to Amritsar is Jallianwala Bagh, where General Dyer open-fired at hundreds of peaceful protestants in April 1919. It carries traces of the bullet marks on the walls and still comprises the well that people jumped into to save themselves. Another attraction to visit is the Partition Museum that showcases the traumatising effects of the Partition 1947.

Amritsar is known all around for having some of the most delectable food. Dishes like Amritsari kulcha, Amritsari fish, tandoori chicken, lassi, chole bhature, and so many others are delicious! You can have some of these popular dishes at eateries like Makhan Fish, Kesar da Dhaba, Astoria Food Pavillion and Gurdas Ram.

The best time to plan your trip to Amritsar is between September to December and February to March since the weather is suitable for sightseeing. There are 5-star hotels, resorts and B&Bs that provide accommodation. To see the most of what Amritsar offers, you need to spend about 2 to 3 days. Dalhousie and Dharamshala are often part of Amritsar tour packages.

Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh is famous for its Buddhist culture and being home to the holy Dalai Lama.
