Day 1- Full Day Amritsar City Tour

After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, begin your full-day Amritsar city tour by seeking blessings at the Golden Temple — the most revered Sikh shrine, also known as Harimandir Sahib and Darbar Sahib. After spending time at this spiritual heart of the city, proceed to Jallianwala Bagh, the historic site where hundreds of unarmed civilians were killed in the brutal 1919 massacre ordered by British general Reginald Dyer. After paying your respects, enjoy a mouth-watering traditional Punjabi lunch.
In the afternoon, visit the Durgiana Temple and the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum, followed by a visit to the Indo-Pak Wagah Border to witness the electrifying Beating the Retreat ceremony — a daily military tradition where soldiers from both India and Pakistan showcase precision drills and marches in a display of national pride.
Late evening, return to your hotel or designated drop-off point.
