Amritsar Tour Packages

Amritsar is an important part of Punjab. This city is one of the topmost pilgrimage spots for the Sikhs. It houses, Golden Temple an iconic Gurudwara with dome covered in gold, which every year is visited by Sikh as well as Hindu followers in huge numbers. Indian Holiday through well-planned Peaceful Amritsar Tour offers you a chance to pay homage at the Golden Temple.

This is the ultimate Sikh bastion. Little wonder, the city draws practically everything from the Harmandir Sahib or Golden Temple, as it has popularly come to be known. It derives its name from the templeâs water pool - the Amrit Sarovar or 'Pool of Nectar'. And the city literally sprang to life around this pool. In 500 years since Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru, visited this place, the Sikh faith has revolved around the beat of this place. For the contemporary traveler, beyond the tranquility of Harmandir Sahib lies a throbbing city. Bustling traditional bazaars with a maze of narrow streets selling everything from delicious kulcha-chholas to beautifully handcrafted kirpans, give a glimpse of its bygone importance as a medieval trading post.
