Chandigarh to Amritsar Same Day Tourby Private Car
Visit the Golden Temple and Wagah Border in a single day with our same day Amritsar tour from Chandigarh. The 230 km drive on the historic Grand Trunk Road (NH44) brings you to one of India's most spiritually powerful and historically significant cities.
The Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) is a sight that transcends religion -- its gold-plated dome reflected in the sacred pool is one of the most beautiful views in India. Combined with the solemn Jallianwala Bagh and the patriotic Wagah Border ceremony, this day trip is an emotional and inspiring experience.
Our itinerary is carefully timed so you can visit the Golden Temple in the morning calm, enjoy Amritsari cuisine for lunch, and reach Wagah Border in time for the flag-lowering ceremony.
