Everlasting Safari


The cities of Punjab have many places of interest for the tourists and people from all over the world visit these cities. Punjab fulfills all dreams and aspirations of a traveler. While talking about Punjab’s places one never forgets the name of Amritsar - the supreme sacred pilgrimage destination for Sikhism.
Golden Temple
Amritsar:
lies in the heart of Punjab where one could see the richness of Punjabi culture, arts and crafts, music and dance. It is the place famous for world’s largest gurudwara of Sikhism – Harmandir sahib popularly known as the Golden Temple. Its dome is covered with 400kg gold. I have a very special moment associated with Amritsar. I went there with my school trip when I was in 3rd standard and was chosen ‘best student of the year.’ I must say the langar(sacred food service, or divine dining) which is served there is so yum that one would literally lick her fingers. If you travel to Punjab then the one place you should never ever miss is the world renowned Golden Temple. Here you can watch the video:



Jallianwala Bagh has a remarked history related to it as one of the most gruesome acts of inhumanity on Indian soil was jallianwala bagh massacre. In 1919, during Indian freedom struggle, thousands of people had lost their lives. The marks of bullet are still there on the walls of it. Wagah border is the land point between India and Pakistan. It has its own symbolic importance.

Rock Garden
Chandigarh: Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab, is the first planned city of india. Chandigarh is like my second home. I spent their three years and it was unforgettable part of my life. The main tourist attractions in Chandigarh are the Punjab university, Sec-17 market, Rose Garden, Sukana lake, Pinjore Gardens, and Rock Garden. Here you can see the rock garden:

If one visits Chandigarh one must have a look of the university. Chandigarh rock garden, full of art objects made, human creativity and innovation. How can one forget sec-17 market and sukhna lake while talking about Chandigarh. These are the two most ultimate places in Chandigarh. Sukhna Lake, the best place I found in chandigarh. During sunset it looks more lavish with lights and water all around. Sec-17, was our pet place to go on an outings. It is the most famous place with an ultimate crowd and where even celebrities don’t forget to come once. Pinjore garden is a fascinating Mughal Garden also known as Yadavindra Gardens.
 
Ludhiana: is famous for its hosiery and woolen goods and products from Ludhiana are exported all over the world. For its production of hosiery, Ludhiana is also known as the Manchester of India. It has famous panjab agricultural university.

Jalandhar:
The most ancient cities of Punjab. The most famous places devi talab mandir, rangla Punjab and Jamma Masjid. Rangla Punjab is a Haveli, a traditional Punjabi restaurant following typical Punjabi culture inside it. If you want cheap and best food, you should not miss going there.
