    Day 2, Amritsar
    Amritsar is one of Punjab's principal cities and is renowned for it's world famous Golden Temple, the seat of Sikh religion built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1803. The religion's adherents don't cut their hair. The men are easily identified by their turbans, beards and silver bracelets. The women by their salwaar kameez, a dress-and pants combination that has become popular throughout India.

    This morning we enjoy a sightseeing tour of historic Amritsar, including the Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh. Amritsar's main attraction - the beautiful Golden Temple, is made of white marble, bronze and gold leaf. To enter the temple itself, you must don a traditional headscarf, wade through a shallow pool (a purification ritual) and merge with the mass of bodies that circle the embankment around the holy structure.

    The lower half of the Golden Temple is covered with marble and the upper with copper, overlaid with pure gold leaf, thus the name "The Golden Temple". The Golden Temple has four entrances and the walls are inlaid with semi-precious stones in floral patterns, frescoes and glasswork.

    Situated on the northwestern border of India, the city is also the gateway for travellers on the overland route through Pakistan. The Jallianwala Bagh is a particularly sacred place for all Indians today, as it is associated with a poignant episode in India's freedom struggle. Besides a thriving industry, Punjab is also known for handicrafts and handlooms. This evening is at your leisure.
    1 breakfast, no lunch, no dinner included.
    Day 3, Wagah Border - pomp & performance
    Enjoy a free morning to relax or explore Amritsar independently. This afternoon travel approximately 28km to Wagah, which is the only border crossing between India and Pakistan. Visiting Wagah is an interesting experience especially at sunset when the 'Retreat' ceremony takes place with the BSF on the Indian Side of the Border. The changing of the guards and the ceremonial lowering of the flags ceremony is carried out with great pomp.
    1 breakfast, no lunch, no dinner included.
    Day 4, Delhi
    Amritsar - Delhi. Free time today to independently explore, shop or simply relax and soak up the atmosphere. This evening we transfer to the railway station to board our train back to Delhi, arriving shortly before midnight. You will be met upon arrival and transferred to your Delhi hotel or to the airport to meet your onward flight.
