Amazing
Jan 2023 • Solo
Peaceful. This place is a must go and worth the wait in the queue to go inside the Golden temple. We went during the day and in the evening. The night time view is amazing with the lights.

wonderful arrangements
Jan 2023
If you have time only to do ONE thing in Amritsar - go to the Golden temple...
allows people of all faiths, is a smooth experience - from the free facilities to leave your shoes at a secure room, to the donations and accepting the prasad....
You would be surprised to know that all tasks are done by people for free - nobody is paid anything!
a sublime experience - stand there and listen to the stories and history told by Sikh historians within the temple by the waters edge...

Golden temple.
Jan 2023 • Friends
We were fast tracked as we did not have enough time. The volunteers were just superb. They were helpful, understanding and above all courteous. Lost for words about the experience of being inside.
