Golden Temple + Wagah Border in 3 days.
Highlights
Logistics
Shatabdi from Delhi 6hrs or fly 1hr.
Day by Day
Morning flight or early train. Arrive by noon. Afternoon: Jallianwala Bagh (sobering, important). Walk to Golden Temple. First darshan. Evening: Golden Temple lit up at night — this is the moment. Eat langar (free, no questions asked, everyone sits equal).
Early morning: Golden Temple sunrise (4AM palki sahib ceremony if you're dedicated). Partition Museum (excellent, allow 2hrs). Afternoon: drive to Wagah Border. The flag-lowering ceremony is part military parade, part cricket match energy. Loud, patriotic, unforgettable. Return to Amritsar. Street food: Kesar da Dhaba, Beera Chicken, Amritsari kulcha.
Morning: one more Golden Temple visit (it pulls you back). Gobindgarh Fort if time. Flight or train back to Delhi.
