Attractions of Golden Temple
Hari Mandir
An exquisite golden structure standing elegantly at the centre of the lake, Amrit Sarovar, is the major attraction of the Golden Temple complex. This astonishing gold plated building flaunts copper cupolas and white marble walls crafted with precious stones.
Dining Hall
Also known as Guru Ka Langar, is a huge hall where thousands of people irrespective of their status and caste are fed daily with the holy food made by the volunteers. People sit on the floor to taste the divine meal of the God.
Other Attractions
The magical way to the temple gives a glimpse of the spiritual tour that one is about to experience. The temple can be reached by following the Parikrama, circumscribing the sacred pool in clockwise manner. The magnificent silver doorway leads to the temple through a marble causeway known as Guru’s Bridge. The Central Sikh Museum showcasing different images and remembrance of Sikh Gurus and saints is fairly famous among the tourists. A lovely nightly ceremony called Palki Sahib gives a chance to the visitors to participate in the veneration of the Holy book.

Generally all are good except that in shimla. Silverine hotel is not a suitable hotel for elderly people as they need to walk up and downhill to the hotel….though the place is ideal for shoppers -
Thank you so very much for going above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful trip. I have been telling everyone about your hospitality. I truly had a great time and I especially am thankful for all your organizing and to take time to show us your family and invite us to your home. You have a beautiful family and I think Choti (your little sister) is so adorable -
Hi Gaurav, thanks for following up and for all your efforts in making all the necessary arrangements for my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. A few suggestions on how you might improve your services for future bookings -
Many thanks for putting together a wonderful and memorable vacation for us. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We did not find anything lacking from your side. It was our first visit to India and it seems like we are already planning to be back. The pace was hectic so we did not find much time to visit the local markets which we will have to make up next time -
We reached home safely on Sunday morning (USA time) and slept most of the day. I cannot thank you enough for all your help and efforts in making our trip such a wonderful success. I will never forget the experiences we had and fun time we enjoyed all throughout the trip. I will send you pictures soon.....'not to worry!!!' -
We waited almost two years to meet again and it was well worth it. Everybody had a fantastic time and loved every moment of it. Your friend speaks very good English now and we all wish her well in the future. It seems that shopping with your friend was the highlight of the trip, the ladies would not stop talking about it -
