Amritsar: Sacred Heritage & Flavours — Guides, Itineraries & Tour Packages
Amritsar is Punjab’s spiritual and culinary heart, best known for the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, the Wagah–Attari border ceremony and generous Punjabi food. It suits pilgrims, history enthusiasts, families, photographers and travellers seeking a lively short break. October brings cooler, comfortable days and is a strong time to visit, though evenings can turn crisp and winter haze may begin later. Most visitors arrive by air at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, or by direct train from Delhi and other major North Indian cities.
