Top Amritsar Half-day Tours - page 2

will describe an overview of the history of the site, the four gates and thier significance, and then give you an expert led tour of the introductory museum. Then, we all will proceed on the traditional walk around the temple, visiting the significant monuments and sub-temples along the way. After this spiritual and energy filled walk, we will start to go beyond what any normal tourist is allowed to see. Our 10+ years of volunteering has given me access to places no tourist can enter, and I offer you an inside look into the behind the scenes miracles keeping the temple running. We will visit the kitchen which is one of the largest in the world, where you will get the opportunity to cook for up to 100,000 people, making chapatis, stirring massive cauldrons, and washing dishes with hundreds of Sikhs. We will journey deep into the inner areas as well as see the surface of the site on what I promise this will be the most unforgettable and Authentic Golden Temple experience you can have.

Attari, an army post on the Indo-Pakistan border and venue for the flag lowering ceremony which takes places every day during sunset. Soldiers from both countries march in perfect drill, going through the steps of bringing down their respective national flags. As the sun goes down, nationalistic enthusiasm rises and lights are switched on marking the end of the day amidst thunderous applause. The National Anthem chanting, rounds of applause and tremendous energy in the air make this an unforgettable experience.
