Me and my friend planned to go to The Golden City Amritsar this time. As we are from Bhopal so we got the tickets for the direct train from Bhopal to Amritsar (it was the wrong decision to get on this train ,we should have boarded from delhi to get there 6-8 hours faster).
We reached Amritsar by evening at 5 o'clock. As we were not having any prebooked hotel's room..our first challange was to get one,we asked our auto wale bhaiya for the same.
(Believe me Dude you have be aware about exactly where you wanna stay or at how much distance from the GOLDEN TEMPLE you wnna stay). He took us to a hotel and asked us to check the room there.
it was available and the hotel staff told us that the Golden temple is at the walking distance from their hotel.
but we asked other nearby people, they told us its very far from the temple..and they also informed us that we will get many hotels near the temple...so we asked our auto wala to take us near the temple.
As we reached there,we got a hotel at the main square near temple at affordable price.
We were also hungry so ate at The Brother's dhaba which is famous there and was just next to our hotel.
Later on that evening We went for the sight seeing and decided to go for Shri Harmandir sahib ji or The Golden Temple..as the view at night is amazing.
Our hotel mnager told us about the facility they have for going to the wagah border,Govindgarh fort Khalsa university, Ram tirath and Durgiana mandir, these are the plces to visit in Amritsar.
So on our second day there, we booked a cab from our hotel on share basis it was for Rs.400 for both of us.
which was quite cheap ..but comfortable journey..our driver was there @ 11 o'clock and we started our journey at 12 o'clock in the aftrnoon.He was driver cum guide
∆ Ram tirath- A temple where Luv kush were born and sita mata stayed .
∆ Govindgarh fort - old fort which was attacked several times by Mughals and Britishers later Maharana Ranjeet singh captured it . Entry here is 180 to 360 rs. You can any time enjoy folk dance here.
∆ Khalsa university - it was a palace before which was turned into a university.
∆ Durgiana tirath - a temple older than Golden temple(or its said like this).Built like golden temple.
∆ Wagah Border - border between India and Pakistan famous for its beating retreat.. ❣️
This place is beautiful everytime..whether its a day or night..24*7 langar and so many sevadars to provide you the cleanliness nd food and water to drink and mats to walk and what not ! One can never come hungry from Gurudwara.
We went for sight seeing...but unfortunately as there was some construction work going on th Jalianwala bagh,we could not see it..may be Next time.
What we covered this day was -
° The partition museum
° Central Sikh museum (inside Golden temple)
° Langar
° Local Market
Budget for two :
HOTEL - Rs.2000 to 3000 for 3 nights
FOOD - rs 2000 for 3 days...but it cost us half the price as we ate at langar for one day.
SIGHTSEEING-- rs.400-1000 depending on how you wanna go..there are taxis as well as autos and bus for local sightseeing.
