• 5Amazing Day Exploring Amritsar

  What a day!! Absolutely enjoyed every minute we spent with Ram, our guide for the day. An early start meant we got to explore the Golden Temple first thing and see it shining brightly against the dark sky. We will remember this view forever! We were fortunate to see the ceremonial transfer of the holy scripture to the temple. We had hoped to take a peek at the community kitchen, however Ram went the extra mile and we had a full tour! It was too early for me but my husband ate a meal there too! The kitchen serves over 100,000 meals a day. By the time we’d finished that part of the tour, the sun has risen and we were able to appreciate the temple in the daylight. Ram gave us so much info on the Temple, the Sikh religion, Ram gave us lots of history of the Sikh religion, The Temple, The Partition of India, Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, the history of Amritsar and the region of Punjab. We went for a local breakfast of Kulcha before continuing on with the trip. Next we visited a local village & farm, hopped on a tractor and visited the fields, where it was explained about the farming methods in the local area & Punjab. It was different to what we’ve done before but thoroughly enjoyed it. We then had a delicious home cooked lunch, all using local produce. Next we set off for the drive to the Attari - Wagu border for the flag lowering ceremony. What an experience. Once the ceremony was over, Ram dropped us back to the hotel after a long but very exciting and enjoyable day. We are so glad we chose Planet Amritsar to explore the area and even more fortunate to have Ram as our guide.

• 5Knowledgeable day about Sikh history and Pakistan separation

  Ram showed me the golden temple, jallianwala square, and the border between Pakistan and India. He taught me about the Sikhs, Amristar, and India itself. He is very wise and answered my questions masterfully. He's extremely friendly and a very good company to talk about random things as well, I hope people get the chance of knowing Amritsar with him ✌️

• 5Amritsar day tour and Wagah Border ceremony

  Amritsar day tour and Wagah Border Ceremony. Had a fantastic tour with our guides Ram and Amrit. From start to finish the day was amazing. Both guides were a wealth of knowledge and we learnt so much on this tour. We had an amazing lunch with our guide Amrit. Both Ram and Amrit were in constant contact to keep us updated on pick up times and location, making sure the day ran smoothly. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Amritsar to do this tour.

• 5Fun Day in Amritsar with Ram Singh

  Ram Singh did a great job of showing us Amritsar. His knowledge of the Golden Temple grounds and the Partition Museum gave us a much better appreciation of the tenets of Sikh religion and the horrors encountered by ordinary people that accompanied the creation of Pakistan and India. Watching the pomp and ceremony of the lowering of the Indian and Pakistani national flags at the border crossing, especially in a time of increased tension between the 2 countries, was both entertaining and also clear demonstration of the pride Indians and Pakistanis have in their respective countries. It was a terrific tour!

About Amritsar

Amritsar is the Sikh holy city of Punjab, built around the gold-domed Golden Temple and its community kitchen, close to the Pakistan border.

Amritsar was founded in 1577 by Guru Ram Das around a sacred pool, and at its centre the Harmandir Sahib, known as the Golden Temple, rises from the water with a gilded dome. Pilgrims of every background walk the marble causeway to the shrine and eat in the langar, a free kitchen that serves a very large number of meals every day. The lanes of the old city lead to the temple's gates.
