Day 2

Amritsar ❤️
City in geographical area
Amritsar is a town within the northwestern Indian state of Punjab, twenty eight kilometers from the border with Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

At the middle of its walled old city, the gilded Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) is the holiest gurdwara (religious complex) of the Sikh religion. It’s at the tip of a causeway, enclosed by the sacred Amrit Sarovar tank (lake), where pilgrims bathe.
Within the Golden Temple complex, the Sikh museum contains paintings, manuscripts & weapons. A free langar (kitchen) feeds tens of thousands a day. Stalls within the neighboring lanes sell ancient decorated wear and shoes.

Jallianwala Bagh is a memorial garden Remembrance of  the victims of a 1919 British army massacre. The Rambagh Gardens surround maharajah Ranjit Singh’s summer palace, currently a museum.

The Durgiana Mandir Hindu temple resembles the Golden Temple and has elaborately graven silver doors. the elaborate daily changing-of-the-guard ceremony at the Wagah border with West Pakistan has become a popular spectacle.

Within a living museum of a traditional Punjabi village, this relaxed hotel is 8 km from Amritsar train station and 12 km from the Golden Temple.

Warm rooms featuring regional decor and furnishings have Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs and minifridges, plus tea and coffeemaking facilities. Suites add living areas. All offer patios or balconies.
