What are the Things to do in Amritsar?

If you like offbeat experiences take an evening Amritsar ghost tour which explores abandoned colonial buildings and eerie legends that locals still talk about.
When is the Best Time to Visit Amritsar?
The most comfortable months are October to March when the temperature ranges from 10°C to 24°C and is ideal for sightseeing. Winter in Amritsar is magical, misty mornings add to the beauty of the Golden Temple and Lohri in January brings the streets to life.
If you want to experience Amritsar’s cultural fervour then Vaisakhi in April is a must. This harvest festival turns the city into a fairground of folk dances, fairs and grand Gurdwara celebrations. Monsoon from July to September brings a refreshing touch to the city but unexpected showers might slow down your itinerary. Summer from May to June is the least recommended time as the temperature crosses 40°C. But if you are up for an adventure then this is when the city is least crowded and you can get off-season discounts on accommodations and tours.
