About the trip

Amritsar is the spiritual heart of Sikhism and home to the Harmandir Sahib, the Golden Temple, with its free community kitchen open to all. Visitors also come for Jallianwala Bagh, the Partition Museum and the flag-lowering ceremony at the Wagah border. From Chandigarh the drive crosses Punjab via Kharar, Ludhiana and Jalandhar, joining NH 44 for most of the way.
