My first solo trip - Amritsar
By sheer chance, persistence, and risk did this solo trip became a reality.
Day 1
Train got delayed by good 5-6 hours. It was scheduled to depart at 10 PM on 18th Dec, which it did at 4 AM, 19th Dec.
Monument
After reaching station, boarded a local bus towards Wagah Border reached there at around 2:45 PM for a mere Rs 80.
Restaurant
It is one of the most famous eatery spot in Amritsar, if you have got a sweet tooth. It's Jalebis and Gulab Jamun are a must try for every sweet lover, you'd cherish this experience for long periods ❤️
Worship
It's hard to express what I actually felt when I entered the main compound at around 11 PM. Glistening shine of the gurdwara and the calmness that surrounded it was blissful.
Day 2
Restaurant
Probably the best spot to start your day. It's mixed Kulcha served along with chole/safed chane is worth giving a shot 😍 It'll power you up for hours which can be spent roaming in old streets of Amritsar or visiting a few other iconic spots.
Market
I spent next hour and a half going here and there on the streets of Amritsar. Talking to locals which might tell you stories of 1900s under British Raj and even about Pre British times which will leave you jaw dropped.
Monument
Well maintained and speaks volume of the atrocities committed by the British on the innocent locals on April 4th 1917. It'll make you feel grateful for the sort of lives we've living, without major instances of brutality by outsiders.
