Know Your Destination

Amritsar is known by and large, for its Golden Temple which was initiated by Guru Ram Das. He was the fourth Sikh Guru and the founder of the city. It was completed in 1601 by his successor Guru Arjan Dev Ji. Moreover, Amritsar has tales of freedom struggle attached to its past.The renowned Jallianwala Bagh massacre occurred in 1919. The area where this occurred was a large, open square but walled in on all sides. British troops opened fire on a crowd of demonstrators, and a large number were killed.

For that matter, the Wagah border in Amritsar is famous for the Wagah border ceremony. It also serves as a goods transit terminal along with a railway station between Pakistan and India.In fact, Wagah lies on the historic Grand Trunk Road between Lahore and Amritsar in India. The border is located 24 kilometres from Lahore and 32 kilometres from Amritsar.

Dalhousie is a famous hill station that was founded by Lord Dalhousie in 1850 as a summer retreat. Marvelous forest trails overlook vistas of wooded hills and waterfalls. River Ravi meandering its course adds to the panorama. Mighty Dhauladhars with snow capped peaks complete the horizon. Freedom fighter Subhash Chander Bose stayed here for many months in 1937. Subhash Chowk and Subhash Baoli, spring water fed are named after him.

Dharamshala is home to the Dalai Lama and the capital of the Tibetan Government in exile. It is a beautiful town lying in the shadow of mighty Dhauladhar range. Besides, it also has a world class Cricket stadium which is considered as one of the most scenic Cricket stadiums in the world.
