Itinerary
Golden Temple
2 min
Visit the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib), the holiest shrine of Sikhism, located in the heart of Amritsar. Built in the 16th century by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the temple is partially covered in gold and surrounded by the sacred Amrit Sarovar (holy tank). Explore the spiritual and historical highlights of the complex, including the Akal Takht, the highest seat of Sikh temporal authority; the Dukh Bhanjani Beri, a sacred tree believed to relieve suffering; and the Langar Hall, where free meals are served daily to thousands of visitors. Take a peaceful walk along the parikrama around the holy tank, admire the architectural beauty of the temple entrances, and see statues and memorials, including that of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, celebrating the rich Sikh heritage. This visit offers a unique opportunity to experience Sikh spirituality, history, and hospitality in one remarkable setting.
Dukh Bhanjani Ber Tree
Pass by
Dukh Bhanjani Beri is a sacred berry tree (Jujube tree) located in the Golden Temple complex, Amritsar. The name means “Tree that Dispels Suffering”. According to Sikh tradition, the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, blessed this tree, and it is believed that devotees who pray here are relieved of their pains and sufferings. Pilgrims often touch the tree and offer prayers, making it an important spiritual spot within the Harmandir Sahib complex.
Akal Takht
5 min
Akal Takht is one of the five Takhts (seats of authority) of Sikhism and is located within the Golden Temple complex, Amritsar. Its name means “Throne of the Timeless One”. Established by Guru Hargobind Ji in 1606, the Akal Takht serves as the highest temporal seat of Sikh authority, where important religious and political decisions are made. It symbolizes justice, sovereignty, and the unity of the Sikh community, complementing the spiritual role of the Golden Temple.
Jallianwala Bagh
30 min
Jallianwala Bagh is a historic public garden in Amritsar, located near the Golden Temple. It is remembered for the tragic Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 13 April 1919, when British troops opened fire on a peaceful gathering, killing hundreds of innocent civilians. Today, the site stands as a national memorial, preserving bullet marks and the Martyrs’ Well, and serves as a powerful symbol of India’s struggle for freedom and sacrifice.
Khalsa College

Khalsa College, Amritsar is one of the most prestigious and historic educational institutions in India, established in 1892. Renowned for its stunning Indo-Saracenic architecture, the college was founded to promote modern education while preserving Sikh values and Punjabi culture. Spread over a large, beautifully landscaped campus, Khalsa College has played an important role in India’s freedom movement and has produced many notable leaders, scholars, and professionals. Today, it remains a symbol of academic excellence, heritage, and pride of Punjab, and is often admired by visitors for its architectural beauty as well as its historical significance.
War Memorial & Museum

The War Memorial in Amritsar, officially known as the Punjab State War Heroes’ Memorial and Museum, is a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of Indian soldiers.

Great location, great tour
Amritsar Tour (2 Days)
Arranged by our daughter in Delhi.
We have lived in India and have visited most places with Amritsar being the missing piece.
We had the two day tour taking in:-
Golden Temple
Jallianwala Burg
Partition Museum
Order Ceremony
Extremely good value for money in A/C car with (safe) driver.
Our guide Deepak is an articulate young man with deep knowledge of subject matter and a nice way about him.
We can highly recommend the location and the company/guide.

Highly recommend. Excellent guide made our holiday!
We had an amazing experience because of our fantastic guide Deepak. Deepak was an exceptional guide for our day in Amritsar covering the Golden Temple and the Wagah Border. Highly knowledgeable, perfectly punctual, and wonderfully organized, he kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. He also arranged an excellent driver who made the travel seamless. Deepak’s insights and friendly demeanor truly made our day special—cannot recommend him enough!

The best guide in Amritsar
Deepak communicated with me several times prior to the trip to iron out all of the questions I had.
Deepak showed us all the best sights taking into account our needs.
We had a good idea of our itinerary but Deepak made it 100% better.
He even sorted our taxi at Delhi airport.

Great team!
Deepak is fluent in English & Punjabi and perfectly describes the events that took place plus the history behind it so everyone in the group can follow.
Only thing Viator had said there would be water provided but there wasn’t and it was a very hot day.
Good to see the border ceremony once but I wouldn’t go again. Makes you realise that people on the ground have a lot more compassion & forgiveness than the leaders running the country.
Deepak & Aman were great though and 100% recommended booking with them if you’re interested in this experience.

great experience
Bhavdeep was an incredible guide, adding his personal touch alongside his deep understanding of Amritsar’s history. He was super enthusiastic, understood our likes instantly and charted a curated experience for us. He was also very generous to guide us to the Golden Temple despite late/early hours and bad weather! Definitely book an experience with him and Deepak :)

Amritsar
Deepak gave us an excellent tour of the Golden Temple. We visited the temple at sunrise and at sunset. Both moments were outstanding experiences thanks to Deepak’s engaging explanations.
He also took us to nice restaurants and a great coffee bar.

Amritsar for Lohri Festival
I had an incredible experience with Bhav. The visit to the Golden Temple was truly unforgettable—he explained the history and spiritual significance in a clear and respectful way, which made seeing the holy book even more meaningful. He explained the traditions, the atmosphere, and what to expect, which really enhanced the visit.
Afterward, we explored the local markets, where Bhav showed the bustling streets, shared insights about local life, and pointed out great places for shopping and food. It felt authentic, well-paced, and never rushed.
I was also lucky to be there during Lohri, and seeing the sky filled with colorful kites was such fun and a real highlight of the trip.
Overall, the tour was thoughtfully organized, informative, and deeply enriching. I would highly recommend Bhav to anyone visiting Amritsar who wants a deeper cultural and spiritual experience, not just sightseeing.

Explore Amritsar
India is a country of contrasts and experiences for life. The Bhav guide was excellent and literally provided to put the hand in the pasta and have a turbante.
Thank you 🙏

An Unforgettable 2-Day Amritsar Experience with Deepak Kohli
Our 2-day visit to Amritsar turned out to be an incredible and memorable experience, all thanks to Deepak Kohli and his exceptional support throughout the trip. From the very beginning, he planned everything seamlessly and ensured that we explored the city in the best possible way.
Deepak helped us cover all the major attractions, including the iconic Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, and other important landmarks, while also sharing the history, stories, and cultural significance behind each place. His deep knowledge of Amritsar and its traditions truly enhanced our understanding of the city.
One of the absolute highlights of the trip was the food tour, which was simply outstanding. Deepak took us to authentic local spots that we would never have discovered on our own. From street food to traditional Punjabi delicacies, every bite was delicious — we genuinely believe this was some of the best food we have ever had. The food tour alone made the trip worth it!
What really stood out was Deepak’s warm nature, professionalism, and attention to detail. He made sure we were comfortable at all times, adjusted the itinerary to our pace, and shared great local tips that made our experience even more special.
If you are planning a visit to Amritsar and want a well-organized, authentic, and memorable experience, we highly recommend Deepak Kohli. He truly made our trip unforgettable.
