Amritsar is an important tourist destination in Punjab. The politico-religious turbulences have hit the city time and again. But the intrinsic charm of the land continues to lure the visitors in huge numbers every year.

Scared shrines, mute witnesses of history, exotic food and a heart-warming hospitality to cap it all mark your travel to Amritsar.

Travel to Amritsar to see the Golden Temple (link to Tourist Attractions in Amritsar page), where the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhism lies. An ambience of serenity and tranquility still prevail around it. Witness the removal of the Guru Granth Sahib from the Hari Mandir to the Akal Takht for the night in a solemn procession.

Be sure to pay a visit to the monument of Jaliwanwala Bag (link to Tourist Attractions in Amritsar page) in your travel to Amritsar. The monument is erected in memory of those died in a ruthless firing by the Colonial rulers for raising voice for freedom.

Lastly, don't give a miss to an evening visit to the Wagah Boder (link to Tourist Attractions in Amritsar page) as you travel to Amritsar! During the Sunset when the two national security forces change guard and bring down the national flags with the beating retreat is an enchanting spectacle.

Another interesting aspect of a travel to Amritsar is its excellent food. Several food joints literally punctuate the cityscape along with numerous restaurants inside the hotels. Though slightly erred on being spicy, this northwestern cuisine would leave you licking fingers if you can do with a little of spice.
