Amritsar in 2 days — FAQ

Is 2 days enough for Amritsar?

Two days covers the Golden Temple and Wagah border on day one, and a Punjabi food walk and the old city on day two — a great mix of faith, spectacle and flavour.

What should I not miss in 2 days in Amritsar?

The Golden Temple, the Wagah border ceremony, Jallianwala Bagh, and an Amritsari food walk.

Is the Golden Temple worth seeing twice?

Yes — it’s magical by both day and night, so many visitors return for the evening glow and the moving palanquin ceremony.
