About this Golden Temple guide

GoldenTempleTour.in is an independent guide to visiting the Golden Temple, Sri Harmandir Sahib, in Amritsar: how a visit works, the rules and what to wear, the ceremonies before dawn and at night, the best time to come, getting there, and what to see around the temple, along with the guided tours sold on GetYourGuide. We are not the SGPC, a gurdwara committee, a tour operator or GetYourGuide. We compare what is on offer so you can decide whether you want a guide at all, and if so, which one.

Facts on this site are checked against official and reliable sources (the SGPC, the Government of India's Incredible India, the Amritsar district administration, the Partition Museum, the Airports Authority of India and Indian Railways, and national newspapers for anything recent) and against the live GetYourGuide listings, including recent guest reviews. Ceremony times shift with the seasons and the border ceremony's timing is set by the Border Security Force; when an official source and this site disagree, trust the official source.

We write about a place of worship, and we try to do it with care. If something here reads wrong to you, please tell us: contact us.
