Amritsar

About Amritsar

Amritsar, literally a Pool of Nectar, is the spiritual and cultural center for the Sikh religion. This important city in Punjab contains the Sri Harmandir Sahib, known globally as the Golden Temple, drawing millions of visitors with its shimmering gold facade.

The Surroundings

The city borders Pakistan, and a trip to the Wagah Border for the daily retreat ceremony is deeply patriotic. The surrounding lush agricultural fields of Punjab provide a scenic and rustic charm, representing the breadbasket of India.
