Things to do in Amritsar.
The Golden Temple at the centre of everything, the world's only museum of Partition, and the evening theatre of the Wagah border ceremony half an hour away.
Golden Temple, Amritsar
Sri Harmandir Sahib: the gold-leafed sanctum on its holy pool, the Guru Granth Sahib sung through the day, and the langar kitchen serving a hot meal to anyone who sits down, tens of thousands daily.
How to book: Entry is free, and the temple is open almost around the clock. Klook's guided Amritsar tours pair it with Jallianwala Bagh and the Wagah ceremony; cover your head and wash your feet at the entrance, as everyone does.

The Beating Retreat at the India and Pakistan border: rival guards in peacock headgear high-stepping and slamming the gates as the flags come down, with stadium stands on both sides roaring them on.
How to book: The ceremony is free but seats fill fast; Klook sells the trip from Amritsar with transport and dinner, and it is the version most visitors take. It runs every afternoon, earlier in winter.

The only museum in the world devoted to the Partition of 1947, in Amritsar's old Town Hall: oral histories, refugee camp photographs, and the objects families carried across the new border.
How to book: Entry tickets are sold on Klook and at the door. Give it a slow hour; it pairs naturally with the Golden Temple a short walk away.
