Highlights
- Jallianwala Bagh - This historic garden is a memorial to the 1919 massacre where British troops, under General Dyer, killed over 1,000 unarmed Indian civilians. It stands as a poignant reminder of India’s struggle for independence.
- Golden Temple - The holiest site in Sikhism, the Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is renowned for its stunning golden architecture and serene atmosphere. It was founded by Guru Ram Das in 1577 and later adorned with gold by Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
- Saragarhi Memorial Gurudwara - Firozpur District, Punjab, India - This Gurudwara commemorates the Battle of Saragarhi, where 21 Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army bravely fought against thousands of Afghan tribesmen in 1897, making it one of history’s most heroic last stands.
- Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum - This museum is dedicated to Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the founder of the Sikh Empire. It houses artifacts, paintings, and exhibits that highlight his life, military prowess, and the unification of the Sikh misls into a powerful empire.
- Wagah Border - The Wagah Border is famous for its daily military ceremony, the Beating Retreat, performed by Indian and Pakistani soldiers. It’s a vibrant display of patriotism and a unique experience of the border dynamics between the two nations.

Interesting tour. - We had a morning trip in the city, the highlight being the Golden Temple. Then a break in the afternoon followed by the trip see see the Border Guards at the Pakistan border.
Guide was excellent. Drivers good too.

One of the worlds most sacred place of Sikhism. - Thousands of devotees visit this place daily. At least one lack people eat langar here without any discrimination of cast and creed. Hundreds of Kar Sevaks clean the temple floor for the comfort of visitors regularly non stop.
