Begin the full-day city tour of Amritsar with a visit to the Golden Temple (Harmander Sahib), renowned for its stunning golden dome and revered as a sacred site for Sikhs. The temple is situated on a marble platform and features intricate gold leaf work on the upper structure, surrounded by other significant Sikh and Hindu temples. The central Sikh Museum, located atop the Clock Tower, offers insight into Sikh history, and the ‘Guru Ka Langar’ provides free meals to thousands daily.
Proceed to the Durgiana Temple, which mirrors the architectural style of the Golden Temple despite being a Hindu shrine. This temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga, and also houses idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu, celebrated for their roles in Hindu mythology.
Visit the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum, a tribute to the legendary Sikh ruler known for his expansive empire. The museum showcases an impressive array of historical artifacts including paintings, weaponry, armors, manuscripts, and coins, reflecting the cultural and historical significance of Ranjit Singh’s reign.
Explore Gobindgarh Fort, originally constructed in the 18th century and later expanded by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The fort is notable for its historic cannons and the treasure it housed, including the Koh-i-Noor diamond. The fort's capture by the British in 1849 led to various modifications, making it a significant site of both Sikh and colonial history.
Conclude the tour with an excursion to the Wagah Border, located 30 kilometers from Amritsar. Witness the dramatic Wagah border ceremony, performed by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) and the Pakistan Rangers, which takes place just before sunset and is a popular attraction for its display of national pride and military precision.
