The city of the majestic Golden Temple, Amritsar attracts thousands of pilgrims, tourists and foodies every year. Amritsar loosely translates to “pool of nectar” and the city derives its name from Amrit Sarovar which was built by Guru Ram Das in the village of Tung. The most recommended way to experience the spiritual and cultural centre of the Sikh religion is with our one day Amritsar local sightseeing tour by private car.
Amritsar is also known for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre that took place here and its proximity to Wagah Border. Despite seeing some of the worst tragedies in the recent decades, Amritsar today triumphs as a thriving city with commerce and tourism centres.
The region also lies in one of the most agriculturally productive belts of India. It is easily accessible for everyone since it is well connected to the most important cities in India.
Visiting this city during the festival of Baisakhi is a must because at this time, Amritsar showcases its finest food, clothes and traditions, making it ideal for a one day sightseeing tour.

This beautiful temple dedicated to Goddess Durga was built by Guru Harsai Mal Kapoor and its foundation stone was laid by one of India’s most important political leaders, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya.
