Local knowledge for Amritsar
Where to stay
Most budget travelers base themselves in the lanes immediately behind the Golden Temple, particularly around Katra Ahluwalia and the alleys off Hall Bazaar. These put you within a 5-minute walk of the temple and close to the rickshaw stands that run to Wagah Border.
Getting around
- Eat at the Golden Temple langar every day you're there. The free community kitchen serves tens of thousands of people around the clock and the food is genuinely good.
- For the Wagah Border ceremony, arrive at least 90 minutes early. Shared autos from Hall Bazaar cost pocket change and drop you close to the gate.
- Avoid booking the Heritage Walk tour from your hostel. The same route from Jallianwala Bagh through the old city toward the temple is easy to walk independently and free.
When to go
Hostels fill up and raise prices from November through February when the weather is cool and pilgrims are thick on the ground. The cheapest beds are in June and July, but daytime heat in Amritsar can hit 45C.
