Package holiday to Amritsar

Amritsar is the spiritual capital of the Sikh religion and is home to the Golden Temple — one of the holiest and visually stunning religious buildings in the world. The city in northwestern Punjab, just 30 kilometers from the Pakistani border, pulses with spirituality, history, and the best food in North India.

The Sri Harmandir Sahib — the Golden Temple — reflects in a sacred pool (Amrit Sarovar, "Pool of Nectar"), surrounded by a white marble complex. The temple is open 24 hours, admission is free, and daily up to 100,000 people are served free vegetarian meals in the Langar (community kitchen) — the largest free restaurant in the world.

The Wagah border ceremony — just 30 kilometers away — is one of the most theatrical spectacles in the world: Indian and Pakistani soldiers in magnificent uniforms perform a choreographed flag-lowering ceremony, accompanied by the cheers of thousands of spectators.

The Jallianwala Bagh — a memorial park for the massacre of 1919, where British troops fired on a peaceful crowd — is a moving place of remembrance. The narrow Heritage Street leads from the Golden Temple through colorful markets filled with Punjabi juttis, Phulkari embroideries, and spices.

Amritsar particularly impresses with fascinating culture, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
