Amritsar is known for two things: the Golden Temple (Sri Harmandir Sahib) and its mouthwatering food. A day in this holy city is best spent combining both morning prayers at the temple and an afternoon exploring Punjabi flavors.
For travelers looking for a budget-friendly stay near the Golden Temple, NapTapGo pods provide modern, clean, and affordable accommodations just minutes away.
Planning Your Golden Temple Visit
The Golden Temple is open 24/7 and welcomes everyone. The best times to visit are early mornings for Prakash (4:00 AM ceremony) or evenings for Rehras Sahib prayers (6:15 PM onwards) when the temple glows beautifully over the sarovar.
Tips for Visitors:
- Cover your head with a scarf, remove shoes, and wash feet before entering.
- Don’t miss the Langar, serving free vegetarian meals to thousands daily.
- Visit on weekdays for fewer crowds.
Must-Try Amritsari Food
No Amritsar trip is complete without its famous street food. Top dishes include:
- Amritsari Kulcha & Chole – crispy bread stuffed with potatoes or paneer.
- Lassi – thick and creamy, best enjoyed chilled.
- Jalebi – crispy, syrup-soaked dessert.
- Dal Makhani & Sarson da Saag – classic Punjabi comfort food.
