Amritsar Hotels - Reviews and Rates

How nice to be on an air conditioned train for 3 hours just sitting back and relaxing reading the Times of India and eating the complementary food, all for just a couple of quid. Arrived in Amritsar in the absolute heat of the day and managed to find a rickshaw to the Golden Temple. It was officially 50 degrees celsuis and even the locals looked...

Rose: Monday 19th November - arrived by train in Amritsar - a snip of a journey at 7.5 hours with a delay of a mere 30 minutes. Trains are really nice - chair class is quite spacious with aircon But travelling, despite doing nothing, is invariably tiring. We found a really nice hotel and bargained a decent price of just over 5 pounds a night aft...

Once in Manali I was at a junction where I could journey in any possible number of directions so the decision was made to go downhill out of the mountains, to the western end of the country. I hopped a 15 hour bus to Amritsar, the site of the Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest site. As more than half of the ride involved leaving the Himalayas ther...

I departed from New Delhi station at 720am. The train ride was heaven compared to the bus rides of my first few legs. They gave us tea, newspapers, a bottle of water, and breakfast. I went 400 kilometers north. Amritsar is a bustly cement city in Punjab north of Delhi, near the Pakistan border. It is most famous for being home to the Golden Temp...

El aire acondicionado de mi tren (decidi ir de "lujo", pero en segunda clase cuidado, en el Shatabi Express, que solo se detiene lo imprescindible y ademas va con aire acondicionado. Eso si, los retretes dan directamente a la via, asi que mientras uno esta en ello, ve pasar las traveseras...) Desayuno in...

Really hope you all are well and that work and life is good. I hope your sitting comfy and ready for the next intallment as i'm feeling descriptive! Our last night in Delhi and we decide to step it up a notch and blow the daily budget. We decided to go to Rhodio, a Mexican style place with bad music, tall dark waiters in cowboy outfits and lots ...

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 Golden Temple. The pollution and weather conspired to provide a less than ideal grey backdrop, b...
