India – Amritsar

For many, the Golden Temple in Amritsar is a worthy rival to the Taj Mahal and could rightly claim to be one of India’s most impressive tourist sites.

Located in the in the north-western Indian state of Punjab, Amritsar is a city of just over 1 million people. The city is inextricably linked with the history of Sikhism and the Golden Temple is the highlight of any Amritsar tour that you take on your holiday in India.

For keen photographers, getting a photo hot of the Golden Temple of Amritsar, especially at night when it is lit up, is worth the journey on its own!
