You will be transferred from your hotel to the Town Hall where your tour starts. We’ll first move towards Gurudwara Saraghari. We’ll then proceed to Qila Ahluwalia and Jalebiwala Chowk – home to some of the most famed jalebi (sweets) shops and other eateries in Amritsar. Following, we’ll wander through busy bazaars selling mix of Fulkari textile. Strolling through, we’ll soon reach the chitta akharas, 250-year-old hostels for spiritual seekers and saints. We’ll pass through Taksal Chowk and reach the infamous “Crawling Street ” where a 1919 military order issued by General Dyer (nicknamed “the Butcher of Amritsar”) required people to crawl for 150 yards if they wished to cross the main street. From there, we’ll head to a local turban shop and you will learn the tricks and techniques for tying a 9 foot turban.
We’ll finish up at the Harmandir Sahib, famously known as the Golden Temple, the most sacred place for Sikhs in the world. From here you will be transferred back to your hotel.
