Honest Travel Advisory
Who this Amritsar: Golden Temple & Wagah itinerary is NOT for
- •Dress and timing for the Golden Temple: Heads are covered and shoes left at the counter; scarves are available at the entrance. It is open through the day and most moving at dawn and after dark. The langar runs around the clock.
- •The Wagah ceremony fills up: The Beating Retreat is a popular evening event with open seating. We leave early so you are seated before it starts; it does not run in the same form on a few national days, and we tell you if your date is affected.
If any of these apply to your party, speak to us and we will adapt the route.
Before you book
Questions on this itinerary.
How many days do I need for Amritsar?
Two nights covers the Golden Temple morning and evening, Jallianwala Bagh, the Partition Museum and the Wagah ceremony without rushing. One night is enough only for a quick darshan and the border: see Amritsar Golden Temple, in a night.
Can we add Vaishno Devi or Kashmir?
Yes. Amritsar is the usual road start for both: see Amritsar and Vaishno Devi or Amritsar, Vaishno Devi and Kashmir.
When is the best time to visit?
October to March is comfortable. April brings Baisakhi; summers are hot. The Golden Temple and the Wagah ceremony run all year.
