Overview of the tour in Amritsar

Golden Temple Walking Tour by Globe Trek Tours and Sightseeing starts at the Partition Museum, located inside Amritsar City Hall. There, our English language speaking guide will tell you all about the background behind the disturbances which led to British India breaking into two different countries, India and Pakistan. This is the perfect location to learn more about both Amritsar and the country in general.

As we explore the narrow, bustling streets of the Old Town, you will see a replica of the Indian Parliament and a statue of Babasaheb Ambedkar, a famous social reformer .

Continuing our journey through the history of Amritsar and Sikhism, the Akal Takht, the highest seat of religious authority for Sikhism

The next point on our tour is Amritsar's symbolic icon, the Golden Temple. This impressive place of worship is captivating not only for its beautiful architecture but also the ambiance of respect and spirituality that is felt in its vicinity.

Things to note

The Golden temple is open to everyone – regardless of religion, caste, colour or sex. But there are a few stringently enforced rules that a visitor must observe – at the risk of being publicly and at times, rudely reprimanded by the burly temple guards who roam the complex ticking off offenders.

1. Remove your shoes before entering the temple complex.

2. Wash your feet in a small pool of water at the entrance.

3. Keep your head covered at all times – the gurudwara provides a head covering for those who have not carried a scarf.

4. Dress appropriately.

5. Do not carry or consume alcohol, drugs, meat or cigarettes while in or around the shrine.

6. Do not break the line.
