    Golden Temple

    Today you will visit the Harmandir Sahib, famously known as the Golden Temple, the most sacred place for Sikhs in the world. The gardens are verdant, well-manicured and blooming with color. It’s hard to imagine that this beautiful place once was the scene of such a tragedy. Later, you will enjoy time in the old city bazaar. You will proceed to Qila Ahluwalia and Jalebiwala Chowk - home to some of the most famed jalebi (sweets) shops and other eateries in Amritsar. Admire the food presentations and local delicacies in this part of town. Following, we’ll wander through busy bazaars selling a mix of Fulkari textiles, colorful turbans, hair accessories, antiques, and more. Strolling through, we’ll soon reach the chitta akharas, 250-year-old hostels for spiritual seekers and saints. From there, we’ll head to a local turban shop and you will learn the tricks and techniques for tying a 9 foot turban. Overnight stay: Hotel Shiraz Regency (Luxury) (B)
