Also, visit the Golden Temple, where we make sure to remove our shoes, cover heads and wash-down our feet before entering Golden Temple. The temple itself is a unpredictably small building encircled almost wholly by tanks of holy water in which the Sikh pilgrims bathe ( the name of the town itself comes from the AmritSarovar – the Pool of Nectar ).

A selection of styles of hotels/guest houses are included in the tour plan. These hotels / guest houses could not be like what you are used to back home.

Touring in India by train is an experience. Distances in India are long and Indian trains aren’t the worlds best, but journeying in these enhances a mesmerizing new aspect to a visitor’s experience in the country. There is nearly no improved way to get to make friends with the people and see the impressive views of the diverse Indian countryside. The anarchy on the Indian Railway stations is a duplication of the life in India.
We use a combination of AC 2 tier, AC 3 tier and sleeper class (for overnight journeys) and AC Chair car or second-class seats for day trips.
There are no cafeteria or buffet cars on Indian Railways, but on lengthy distance trains an assistant will arrive in your coach and ask if you would like to order food. Routine stops are made at stations where food is also accessible and on some trains many sellers board the train selling chai, cold drinks and crisps and biscuits.
Normally, Indian Railways are very professional, but Indian trains do run late, and occasionally it’s hours relatively than minutes. Make sure you have something to engage your time – a good book, magazine or photos of your home country and family to show the Indian travelers also nearing for the train.
Going by road is definitely not what people are use to in Western countries. Rules are not constantly followed, drivers perform to speed, do not stay in their lanes, overtake in apparently chancy situations. The horn though is used very regularly and can variety from the latest Bollywood tune to Britney Spears! While the government is spending large sums of money refining the road substructure, there is a lot more to be done. Travel time is very long in contrast to Western countries and short distances can take a lot longer than at home.
Prices are not valid from 20th Dec till 10th Jan every year
