In every Indian city, the most interesting things to see are often the ones you’re least likely to come across under your own steam, and Amritsar is no exception. Opt for our tour of the bazaar district and you will be led to some fabulous rooftop viewpoints overlooking the Golden Temple, a banyan tree whose branches grow through multiple households, and a fascinating array of markets devoted to everything from brass pots to papadams. Best of all, you’ll get to taste the definitive Amritsari ‘lassi’, milky yoghurt flavoured with a heavenly blend of cardamom and saffron.

You can add this experience to any tailor-made itinerary that includes a night in Amritsar.
