2 Days-Delhi to Amritsar Weekend Tour
Key Experiences
- The Wagah Border Flag Ceremony: A high-energy evening ritual at the India-Pakistan border, just outside the city.
- The Golden Temple's Reflection Pool: A visit to Sikhism's holiest shrine, best experienced in the calm of the morning.
- Jallianwala Bagh's Quiet Weight: A short walk from the Golden Temple, offering a very different, more reflective stop.
- Amritsar's Food Scene: An afternoon set aside for the city's well-loved restaurants and street food stalls.
- A Train Journey Both Ways: Delhi to Amritsar and back by rail, a relaxed alternative to the long road drive.
About This Tour
Are you craving a trip that mixes devotion, history, and genuinely great food? Amritsar, founded in 1574 A.D. by the fourth Sikh Guru, delivers on all three, and this 2-day tour is timed to fit it into a quick getaway.
Beyond the Golden Temple and the Wagah Border ceremony, Amritsar has built a real reputation among food lovers for its street food and classic Punjabi restaurants. To make the journey itself part of the experience, Flag Journeys runs this trip by train both ways instead of a long road drive.
Day By Day Itinerary
Your Flag Journeys pickup gets you to New Delhi railway station in good time, with breakfast served on board as the train heads toward Amritsar. On arrival, a representative meets you at the platform and takes you to your hotel. Later in the day, the Wagah Border comes alive with drums, chants, and a crowd that only grows louder as the flag-lowering ceremony builds toward sunset — it's one of those experiences that's hard to describe until you've stood in the middle of it.
Overnight stay: Amritsar
Start the morning at the Golden Temple, when the light on the water is at its calmest and the crowds haven't built up yet. A short walk away, Jallianwala Bagh offers a quieter, more contemplative pause. The afternoon is yours to explore Amritsar's markets and dig into the city's food scene — this is a place that takes its parathas and lassi seriously. In the evening, board your return train to Delhi, where an Flag Journeys representative meets you on the platform for your final transfer.
Please Note:
Amritsar has good connectivity by both domestic flights and train.
Train timings may shift slightly due to weather or operational conditions.
