Best time to fly

The best time to visit Amritsar is during the winter months, from November to March, when the weather is pleasant. Avoid the summer months (April-June) due to the intense heat. Baisakhi, usually in April, is a major festival in Punjab, but be prepared for crowds.

Local tips

Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, especially the Golden Temple; cover your head with a scarf. Bargaining is common in local markets, so don't hesitate to negotiate prices. Be aware of your belongings in crowded areas.
