The last major stop on the India’s venerable
Grand Trunk Road to the side of Wagah Border is Amritsar, the most sacred city
of Punjab. Most of us know this city as home to Golden Temple, the most sacred
shrine for Sikhs in the world; however spicy papad and rich Mughal history of
this city is also a worth mention. Over the
centuries, the city has been desecrated and damaged innumerable times by
Afghans and Moghuls. Yet each time, Amritsar rebuilt itself with unshakable
determination. The city has changed many shapes, but by it’s same. Even today,
the dera of Guru Ram Dass is the heart of Amritsar, while matchless Golden
temple is its soul.
Among several holy shrines
and gurudwara, the sparkling Golden temple is the main and the identity of
Amritsar. Situated in between a lake, the temple is artistically designed and
well maintained for visitors. Make your prikrama of the Harminder Shahib, enjoy
guru Prasad (langar) and soak up the
lesson of brotherhood and humanity which is the greatest gift to the visitors
from the temple. Amritsar hotels are available in
various classes and categories, and serve each visitor as per their profile.
Ranging from luxury hotels to budget friendly inns, accommodations here are for
every need and budget.
Another historical city in
North India is Jaipur: Sawai Jai Sing’s beloved creation in Indian state of
Rajasthan. Today the capital of state and fondly known as the ‘Pink City’,
Jaipur enjoys the reputation of being the beautiful and India’s first-planned
city. Magnificent forts & palace, beautiful gardens and hill-side scenery
and lively cultures in the city make it one of the most visited tourist spots
in North India. Jaipur hotels and mysore hotels, especially the
heritage hotels always leave a mark on visitor’s mind.
