Hotels in Amritsar

The Golden Temple's shimmering dome reflects in sacred waters, drawing pilgrims who circle its marble walkways in reverent silence. Join the communal kitchen where volunteers serve free meals to thousands daily – an experience in Sikh hospitality that transcends tourism. The Partition Museum tells heart-wrenching stories of India's division through personal artifacts and testimonies. At dusk, head to Wagah Border for the famous ceremony where guards from both nations perform an elaborate, theatrical changing of the guard. Hall Bazaar buzzes with shoppers haggling over phulkari embroidery and juttis (traditional footwear). Save room for kulcha, a local bread stuffed with potatoes and served with chickpea curry from streetside vendors who've perfected recipes over generations.
