Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower during the summer months (April-June) due to the heat. Book in advance during major Sikh festivals like Baisakhi and Gurpurab, as the city gets very crowded. Look for hotels with air conditioning, especially during the hotter months.

Food to try

Don't miss the Amritsari kulcha, a flaky bread served with chhole. Try the langar at the Golden Temple for a simple, communal vegetarian meal. Explore the local dhabas for authentic Punjabi dishes like butter chicken and sarson da saag.

Getting around

Auto-rickshaws are readily available for short distances. App-based cabs are convenient for longer trips. Consider hiring a local driver for a day to explore multiple sites efficiently. Be sure to agree on a fare beforehand with auto-rickshaws.
