The Golden Temple or Sri Harmandir Sahib is one of the most celebrated Gurudwaras in the world, frequented by people of all religions and cultures. Watching the sun-rise as you quietly sit alongside the ‘Amrit Sarovar’ will be an experience etched in memory forever.

10 am : As you step out of the bustling streets that lead to the Golden Temple, it’s time to step back in history and visit the wide sprawls of  the Jallianwala Bagh, which even today houses the bullet marks of the shots that were fired and the Well where the victims jumped into, in a desperate act to save their lives. Along with them, now also stands a red-hued Martyr's Memorial built in the shape of a flame, saluting the horrific loss.

3 pm : The War Heroes Memorial Museum on the way to Attari on NH1 is also one of the popular attractions that should definitely not be missed.

There is also a 7D theatre screening films from the wars fought.

The Museum is open from 9:30 am – 6 pm

People in huge numbers come to witness the patriotic revelry and watch the ceremony of closing the border gates and lowering the flags on both sides.
