I recently visited the holy city of Amritsar on my own. This was a budgeted trip and I had done a lot of research on WEB before planning my trip. Over the last few years, Amritsar has risen a lot on the radar as a tourist destination. The Punjab Governement has invested a lot of money in restoring the old architecture and preserving the rich heritage of the city. In fact, when I visited Amritsar this time, I was pleasantly surprised at the new look of the city. This destination has lots to offer to the discerning tourist. There are places to visit, activities to enjoy and rich punjabi cuisine to be tasted.
