Best time to fly

October to March is the best time to visit Amritsar, with pleasant weather ideal for sightseeing. Avoid the summer months (April to June) due to the intense heat. Baisakhi, usually in April, is a major festival in Punjab, but it will be very crowded.

Getting from the airport to Amritsar

Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ) is about 11 km from Amritsar city center. Taxis are readily available and cost around ₹300-₹500. You can also find auto-rickshaws, which are cheaper but require good bargaining skills.

Things to do in Amritsar

Visit the Golden Temple: The holiest shrine in Sikhism, known for its stunning architecture and spiritual significance. Explore Jallianwala Bagh: A historical garden that commemorates the victims of the 1919 massacre. Witness the Beating Retreat Ceremony at Wagah Border: A daily military practice that marks the border between India and Pakistan. Shop at Hall Bazaar: A bustling market offering a variety of goods, from textiles to traditional handicrafts.

Food to try

Try the Amritsari Kulcha, a flaky bread stuffed with potatoes and spices, served with chole. Indulge in a hearty Punjabi thali, featuring dal makhani, sarson da saag, and lassi. Have langar at Golden temple, free community kitchen serving simple, vegetarian meals to all visitors.

Local tips

Dress modestly when visiting religious sites like the Golden Temple; cover your head. Bargain respectfully when shopping in local markets. Be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas.
