Stop At: Amritsar, Amritsar, Amritsar District, Punjab

You will be escorted from your hotel in Amritsar with your local English speaking guide in a private air conditioned vehicle to the Bazaar Ram Bagh.

Here you will start your walking tour through the bazaar, where you'll see grocery shops selling food grains, cooking oils and other local products. Go down a narrow lane to see seasonal vegetables and numerous varieties of delicious pickles. See the Sikh Temple.

We'll visit some Akharas (resting places for spiritual ascetics) and see the Chuda Bazaar (Bangle Market), where brides come to shop for red and white bridal bracletts.

Then walk past the Baba Bohar, a centuries-old sacred banyan tree that grows in the middle of the Old City's narrow streets. We'll also see the area of Thakurdwara Dariana Mal with ornate carvings based on Hindu mythology, which contains shrines to Lord Krishna.

From here, we will take a rickshaw again, and exit the market area. To conclude, you will be escorted back to your hotel in Amritsar.

Recorrer todo Amritsar es mágico y un tanto surrealista. Encuentras las cosas más bellas y especiales a precios que no creerías. Frutos y verduras conocidos en abundancia, un colorido bello, aunque, eso sí, deberás aprender a sortear unas cuantas decenas de motocicletas, tuks tuks y rickshaws temerarios que no dejan de tocar sus bocinas, jeje, parte de la diversión
