You will be taken from your accommodation in Amritsar town in the morning and transported to the revered Golden Temple of Amritsar, often referred to as Gurudwara Sri Harmandir Sahib. Millions of people visit here, one of the most popular Sikh holy sites in India, each year. You may also tour the largest kitchen in the world, which serves free meals to about a lakh people every day inside the campus.
The next place you will see is Jallianwala Bagh, a nationally significant historic garden and memorial. After that, have lunch and indulge in the world-famous Punjabi food that the streets of Amritsar have to offer.
You will stroll around the streets and enjoy shopping after lunch, since Amritsar is renowned throughout the world for its shopping opportunities. It has been prearranged for your evening to attend the beating retreat ceremony, which takes place at the Indo-Pakistani border every evening.
The Indian Army's performances are sure to excite you, and people love to dance to the rhythms of nationalistic music. Your journey comes to a conclusion here as you return to your Amritsar hotel after the ceremony.
