Day 02: Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, and Wagah Border

After breakfast, begin your day with a visit to the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib), the most revered Sikh shrine. Spend time exploring the temple, walking around the Amrit Sarovar (holy pool), and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. You can also take part in the Langar, the community meal served to everyone regardless of background. Next, visit Jallianwala Bagh, the site of the 1919 massacre, and reflect on the significance of this historical event. See the Martyrs’ Memorial and the preserved bullet marks on the walls. In the afternoon, drive to Wagah Border (about 30 km from Amritsar) to witness the Beating Retreat Ceremony. This evening flag-lowering ceremony, performed by the Indian and Pakistani border forces, is an emotional and dramatic display of patriotism. Return to Amritsar for dinner and a relaxing evening. You may choose to visit Guru ka Langar at the Golden Temple or stroll along Mall Road. Overnight stay in Amritsar.

Day 03: Amritsar Local Sightseeing and Departure

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and visit Durgiana Temple, an important Hindu shrine similar in architecture to the Golden Temple. Then, head to Mata Lal Devi Mandir, known for its colorful design and labyrinthine corridors. If time permits, explore the Partition Museum, which provides a poignant look at the impact of the 1947 partition on families and the nation. You can also visit Ram Bagh Gardens and the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum. Afterward, depart for Chandigarh to catch your flight or train back home.
