Amritsar Experience: Amritsar... a city of hussle and bussle but a very rich experience as far as culture, food, sight-seeing and relegious activities are involved.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: I have mentioned this in my opinion for activities.
Activities & things to do: A lot to do - sight seeing which involves visit to the Golden Temple, Jalianwala Bagh, Temples in and around the city, Wagah - Atari Border, Shopping for Punjabi Juttis, Clothes, Eatables like Amritsari Papad and Wadiyan... umm if you like it all spicy and masaledar ! Well how can you forget the Dhaba food and Makhan wali lassi when U R at Amritsar... and remember to eat the prasad and langar when u r at the Golden Temple... If you have ample time... be there for the 'Palki' and do 'Seva' at the Temple...
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Well... we used the train mode of travel from Delhi. Train is a good option if you like to be comfortable, spend economically on your travel and love to spend quality time with friends and family even during the journey. Amritsar has a good airport, good connectivity by road and trains with different parts of India. As usual be aware of what should be the acceptable charges of cabs and 3-wheelers or else be ready to get overcharged... this is a particular travel tip for any place you visit in India. Do not get hassled by drivers... just be firm and decisive when they approach you.
