Many pilgrims travel from Khajuraho to Amritsar to visit the Golden Temple, one of Sikhism's holiest sites. Others travel for business or to experience Amritsar's unique culture and cuisine. The journey connects the ancient temples of Madhya Pradesh with the vibrant heart of Punjab.

Best time to fly

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

Getting from the airport to Amritsar

Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ) is about 11 km from the city centre. You can take a pre-paid taxi for approximately ₹400-₹500. Alternatively, a local bus service is available, costing around ₹50, but it can be crowded.

Things to do in Amritsar

Visit the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib), a stunning Sikh shrine. Explore the historic Jallianwala Bagh, a memorial site. Witness the Beating Retreat Ceremony at the Wagah Border. Shop for traditional Punjabi items at Hall Bazaar.

Food to try

Try Amritsari Kulcha, a flaky bread stuffed with potatoes and spices, served with chole. Have langar at the Golden Temple, a free community kitchen serving simple, vegetarian meals to all visitors. Sample lassi, a creamy yogurt-based drink.

Local tips

Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, especially the Golden Temple; cover your head with a scarf. Be prepared for security checks at the Golden Temple. Bargaining is common in local markets.
