Start your journey with a quick hotel pickup. Following a brief introduction from your guide, proceed to your first destination, Jallianwala Bagh, a moving memorial honouring General Dyer's 1919 massacre that claimed over 1,000 lives.
After that, pay a visit to the Saragarhi Memorial Gurudwara to gain knowledge about the famous Battle of Saragarhi, which took place between the Afghan Orakzai tribesmen and the British Indian Army. Your guide will narrate the epic tale of this valiant final stand.
Explore Amritsar's colourful lanes to get to the Golden Temple, the most revered Gurudwara in Sikhism. Established in 1577 by Guru Ram Das, the fourth Sikh Guru, the current temple was reconstructed in 1764 by Jassa Singh Ahluwalia with assistance from other Sikh Misls. Maharaja Ranjit Singh gave the temple its famous aspect and English name by fortifying the Punjab region and embellishing it with gold at the beginning of the 19th century.
Explore the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum, which honours the Sikh Empire's founder, after that. The Punjab region was split up into warring missiles before his rule. By bringing these factions together, Ranjit Singh grew his dominion, effectively fending off invasions and building cordial ties with the British. Further understanding of his life and legacy is provided by the museum.
Finish your journey with a taste of the local cuisine by indulging in a refreshing lassi and the renowned Amritsari kulcha at a well-known restaurant.
