The Golden Temple, Amritsar
This is a top pick! ... I was bewildered, therefore, to wake at 3.40 and have a helpful policeman in the carriage inform me that we were just leaving Amritsar! So much for schedules... Arriving in an insignificant wee station in the arse-end of the Punjab at 4.30 a.m., ...
To Amritsar on the Shababti Express
This is a top pick! ... into the open country. We arrive in Amritsar to 42 degC heat and a bustling station so we were pleased find 'Our man in Amritsar' waiting at the Station Entrance. We stay in Hotel Grand - it certainly does not live up to its name with its rather seedy ...
Leaving Delhi for Amritsar and our first Train
This is a top pick! ... sit down without attracting a crowd and were a little too tired to see the funny side! That night we went to the India-Pakistan border to watch the ceremonial closing of the gates. There were thousands of people all cheering and clapping and chanting as ...
The Half Century!!
This is a top pick! ... we declined. It wouldn't look good turning up to the Golden Temple stinking like a brewery. We negotiated a vehicle to get us to Amritsar and off we went. David and his Sikh friends in London had been talking about the Golden Temple for ages so I was ...
From hills to smells...
This is a top pick! ... Grudgingly, we waved goodbye to our friends Dolma and Dorjee, and headed back to Pathankot, where we caught the train to Amritsar. Although the town itself brings to mind (the nightmare of) Ahmedabad, it is the location of the Sikh religion's holiest ...
To the Pakistan Border We Go...
This is a top pick! ... The Indian women danced in the street in a makeshift mosh pit while the men chanted something about Hindustan, referring to India's northern region. This was great fun and contrary to common perception, it is not dangerous to be ...

Welcome to the Punjab and Sikhism
This is a top pick! Woke up on the train - had set an alarm to go off 1 hour before we were due to arrive - 06:30am however we sat and watched station after station go by abd eventually ended up arriving 4 hours late. We had planned to stay at the Golden Temple itself which ...
India, over, and out
This is a top pick! ... tin top into the noggin top. No fun. The only reason for Lucknow is to catch the 16-hour train ride to Amritsar, on India's western boundary. And 'the Residency' - site of a legendary siege against the British administration and forces, also deemed the ...
Turbans Galore!!!
This is a top pick! ... Delhi on a morning train to Amritsar, the capital of the state of Punjab and the spiritual home to the Sikh religion. I visited Amritsar during my previous trip and had a few of my fondest experiences here. I was really looking forward to bringing Katie ...
Golden Temple
This is a top pick! ... at Amritsar was sitting (occasionally unaccompanied) and watching the sun go down at the Golden Temple - beautiful! Amritsar was an easy "in" for me into India. It is possibly the least stressful arrival point into the country. It is also helped by ...
Getting Our Sikh On In Amritsar
This is a top pick! ... in turbans. Throughout our travels in India, we have found Sikhs to be consistently welcoming and honest people, and our time in Amritsar was no exception. Upon arriving at the bus station, we took a rickshaw to the Golden Temple itself, as we had ...
The internet, isn't it good?
This is a top pick! Got up early and went to the Golden Temple again to catch it at dawn (it was later than this but oh well), wandered around taking it all in again then queued for about 1.5 hours to get in the temple itself. Another fantastic Indian queueing experience ...
Showering At The Golden Temple..
This is a top pick! ... the spectacle and the Indian audience really gets into it, dancing and singing like they're in the latest Bollywood blockbuster. Amritsar, certainly a great place to visit and spend a couple of days. Just watch out for the food at the Golden Temple. ...

This is a top pick! ... the next diners. In this way, and through volunteers and free of charge, over 40,000 people a day are fed. I had arrived in Amritsar on the train from Delhi. Walking out into the parking lot of the train station, a bus pulled up; a free shuttle to ...

Silly hats and glowing temples
This is a top pick! ... beautiful, inspiring, and fascinating place to visit, and everything about it was in contrast to our other pivotal experience of Amritsar: The Wagah border crossing ceremony. Wagah, a small village, was divided down the middle during the partition ...
Golden temples and bizarre border behaviour....
This is a top pick! ... turbans to their shirts and others were considered to be more holy, black and low key. A visit to Amritsar would not be complete without a trip to the India / Pakistan border where in pomp and ceremony the borber is closed each evening before a crowd ...

Desparately Sikhing Amritsar
This is a top pick! This time a 7 hour bus journey was unavoidable as we made our way into Amritsar, the holy Sikh city. It was a bit of a shock to be back in a noisy, dusty city but the rickshaw-wallers were well set up for the tourist market, at least for visiting the ...
Sihkhsville
