Amritsar is a sacred place for Sikhs because it was founded in 1574 by our 4th Sikh Guru, Guru Ramdass Ji. If you are planning to explore this city, then maybe this tour package can be the best fit for you. To explore Amritsar, 2 days are enough. As it’s a place for spirituality, it plays an important role in Indian history, too. The name of Amritsar is the name of the pool around the Golden Temple, which is Amrit ka Sarovar, which means pool of nectar. So this Amritsar 2 Days Tour is tailor-made for those who want to know about history, culture, and some hidden gems of the city.
This tour will start at 9:30 AM and will take blessings from Golden Temple. During Golden Temple Walk, you will learn about the origination of Sikhism, its culture, and its great contribution to society. If we are talking about society, then how could we forget the Jallianwala Bagh massacre? On this tour, you will learn more about Jallianwala Bagh and some famous freedom fighters.
In this 2days tour of Amritsar, you will see the Attari Border Indo-Pak retreat ceremony. India's border is Attari, and Pakistan's Border is Wagah. In this retreat ceremony, you will know that they are lowering the flags together on both sides of the border. During this ceremony, you will see the love of the people for the country too. If we are talking about the Attari Border, then how can we forget about the Partition Museum? This is the world's first and last Museum, which is based on migration or partition. During the tour of this Museum, you will get to know more about Indian history and the struggle for independence, too.
After diving into Indian history, I see that we are just like that era. To make it more authentic, you will go through a heritage walk. This will help you get back to us in time. Also, one more place to visit in Amritsar is Gobindgarh Fort. In this fort, they have an amazing light and sound show, which is recommended by Walk and Explore.
