Punjab
We invite you to explore the Land of Fiver Rivers, that is Punjab through our Punjab Tour Packages. Most of us view Punjab as the land of Gurudwaras and Sikh religious places and shrines. Amritsar is the one city that reminds us of Punjab. But there are so many other places in Punjab that are equally exciting and adventurous as Amritsar. You will be amazed when you visit these tourist places in Punjab and explore its diversity of landscapes and culture. You will come to know that Punjab is more than just Amritsar and the Golden Temple.
Some of the amazing tourist destinations in Punjab include its heritage cities. Amritsar is without a doubt, one of the greatest cities in Punjab. Here you can visit the Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara, better known in India as the Golden Temple. Amrit Sarovar in the Golden Temple is a big water pond whose water is so pure that having a dip here is said to purify you of all your sins. Having a langar meal is the best thing to do in Amritsar. Jallianwala Bagh, Durgiana Mandir, and Gobindgarh Fort are the other places you can visit in Amritsar. A trip to Attari-Wagah Border is an essential thing to do on any tour of Amritsar. You must try the dhaba food here and some dhabas are famous in the whole of India for their authentic chole, kulcha, and other North Indian street food.
Equally exciting is the capital city of Chandigarh. The planned city of Chandigarh has a cosmopolitan vibe to it. It has some spectacular architectural heritage monuments and the famous architect Le Corbusier designed some of the best monuments in Chandigarh. You must visit the Capitol Complex, the Open Hand Monument, and other buildings. These are masterpieces of modern architecture. Some other places in Chandigarh are the Rock Garden, Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, Sukhna Lake, Pinjore Gardens, and Chhatbir Zoo.
