Golden Temple Amritsar From Delhi

Today after breakfast, head for sightseeing tour of Amritsar. The Golden Temple, not with its elegance standing at night, is equally magnificent and charming during the day. See the reflection of this magical temple in its huge, consecrated pool wrapped in a series of marble walkways. Enjoy the architecture of this religious site and savor langar at the community kitchen. Continue your tour with visit to Jalianwala Bagh which is a famous tourist attraction in Amritsar. The Vaisakhi festival in Jallianwala Bagh garden was peacefully celebrated by men, women and children in the thousands at this somber location in 1919 and this when the British soldiers gunned down 379 and 1000 people. This massacre changed India's landscape in terms of politics, and was a major contributing factor to India's end of colonial rule and independence. You will then proceed to Wagah Border where you can witness the famous flag lowering ceremony which is also popularly known as the Beating Retreat Border Ceremony that takes places every evening before sunset. The Indian Border Security Force and the Pakistani Ranger have observed this military practice on a daily basis since1959. The Wagah border parades on both sides that once was the only road to both countries are fast and a sight to behold. With tall, commanding figures the soldiers from Pakistan and India conduct every mission in perfect unison. The infantrymen are vigilant, gates are opened, and the flags of both nations are lowered, all together exactly as the sun sets. Return back to your hotel by the end of the day for overnight stay.

Today you will leave early morning departure from Amritsar to Delhi where your tour will come to an end. You will be dropped back at the Delhi airport for your onward journey.
