Suggested Itinerary:

1. Start Early with a Visit to Golden Temple

2. Walk to Jallianwala Bagh

Time to visit: 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Located just a short walk from the Golden Temple, this historical garden is a moving reminder of India’s freedom struggle.
Spend time exploring the well, the bullet marks, and the eternal flame memorial.

Enjoy authentic Amritsari breakfast – try kulcha-chole, lassi, or paneer bhurji from nearby dhabas or cafés.

You can shop for Phulkari dupattas, Punjabi juttis, or spices at Hall Bazaar or Katra Jaimal Singh.
