Amritsar with Kids — Family Travel Guide
Punjab, India · 234m · easy difficulty
Suitable for families with children
Go with kids 3+—the Golden Temple's langar and Wagah Border ceremony are genuinely engaging for children, and the city has excellent North Indian food. Skip visits during May–June when heat exceeds 45°C, and avoid peak weekends at the Temple due to crushing crowds. Plan the Wagah ceremony early morning and arrive 2 hours ahead for decent seating.
