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!
