Shimla to Amritsar Golden Temple by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Shimla to Amritsar tempo traveller journey bridges the Himachal hills with Punjab's spiritual heart. Descend from Shimla through Kalka to Chandigarh, then cruise the Punjab plains on NH44 through Ludhiana (industrial capital, Punjab Agricultural University) and Jalandhar (sports goods hub). Arriving in Amritsar, the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) is a life-changing experience — the gold-plated sanctum reflected in the Amrit Sarovar pool, the world's largest community kitchen (langar) serving 100,000 daily, and the spiritual calm amidst marble walkways. The Wagah Border flag-lowering ceremony at sunset is a patriotic spectacle best experienced as a group. Jallianwala Bagh's bullet-marked walls and the Partition Museum add historical depth. Amritsari kulcha-chole, fish fry at Makhan Fish Corner, and lassi at Ahuja Lassi are legendary group meals.

A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
