Egalitarianism & Humility

Golden temple Amritsar tour is organised over 2 days by road from Delhi. The experience commences with a drama at the international border between India and Pakistan. The highlight of the tour is a visit to the most famous Sikh temple, Sri Harimandir Sahib which is popularly called the Golden Temple. We will also visit a langar or public kitchen of the Gurudwara. The last experience in the tour is at Jallianwala Bagh, the site of the most barbarous act by the British during the colonial times.

Golden Temple

The Golden Temple tour takes us to Sri Harimandir Sahib which is not only a central religious place of the Sikhs, but also a symbol of human brotherhood and equality. The temple follows a unique Sikh architecture. The fact that it is built at a level lower than the surrounding lands, teaches the lesson of egalitarianism and humility. The four entrances of this holy shrine from all four directions, signify that people belonging to every walk of life are equally welcome.

"Langar" Public Kitchen

Llangar or public kitchen of the Gurudwara is a unforgettable experience. The langar here serves free hot meals daily to 50000-100000 people.

Jallianwallah Bagh

We will visit the site of the most barbarous act by the British during the colonial time. On April 13, 1919, 20,000 people comprising Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs had gathered at the Jallianwala Bagh in answer to Mahatma Gandhi’s call for public non-violent protest against the Rowlatt Act. General Dyer marched to the venue with 50 soldiers and fired 1600 rounds and killed thousands of peaceful protestors.

Wagah Border

Wagah Border is the boundary between India Pakistan. We will get to see the closing of the India-Pakistan border gate in the evening. The Beating Retreat Ceremony is about closing of the gates and the lowering of the flags of both the countries. We will witness soldiers from both Indian and Pakistani march towards the gates and after the gates are open, they salute each other. The ceremony concludes with the soldiers returning to the border line for a handshake. The bugle blow brings an end to this spectacular border drama.

 Serene Golden Temple at Amritsar I had a weekend free at Delhi and tried the tour company, Five senses again for my tour of Amritsar. I had heard a lot about the glittering golden temple. In reality, it was truly magnificent and tranquility personified. The kitchen experience was mind-blowing and will leave me with a lifetime of memories. It is a must do if you are around Delhi and have 2 days of free time.

 Amazing journey This was an incredibly easy, safe and wonderful way to get from New Delhi to Amritsar. If you have the time for an overnight stop there are many incredible places to visit and it was well worth the extra time. We were fortunate to have Balwinder Singh as our travel ambassador. His polite, professional personalized service ensured that we stopped as often as we wanted and saw some incredible sites such as local temples, architecture, great tea shops and other points of interest that you won’t see from a bus or train. We spent the night in Chandigarh which was an easy four hour drive from New Delhi and allowed us plenty of time to see some last minute sites in Delhi before hitting the road. Next morning Balwinder arranged a fantastic tour of Chandigarh, India’s first planned city designed by the architect Le Corbusier. The highlight was a visit to the Capitol Complex, a World Heritage site and an architectural wonder. Balwinder lives on a farm with his family in the Punjab and we were honored to stop and meet them and share a meal and their wonderful hospitality. We also toured a few farms in the area to gain an understanding of the joys and challenges of farming and rural life in the Punjab, the bread basket of India. There are lots of ways to travel between New Delhi and Amritsar. But none of them come close to the amazing, one-of-a-kind adventure this turned out to be. Highest recommendation!

 Great tour with 5 Senses We very much enjoyed our two day tour of Amritsar with Balwinder, one of 5 Senses’ excellent cultural ambassadors. He is Sikh himself, and was a fantastic guide. The visit to the Golden Temple and other Amritsar attractions was fascinating. On the way from Delhi we visited Balwinder’s rural village, outside of Chandigarh. His charming wife served lunch made with fresh produce from their fields. We loved interacting with the family, including his young daughter and niece. This was our second tour with 5 Senses—in 2020 they hosted us for three weeks in the South. It is a highly recommended operation.
