🧳 Arrival in Amritsar — First Feelings, Full of Energy

The moment I landed in Amritsar, there was just one word in my head: vibe.
People were smiling, streets were buzzing, and my nose caught the smell of something being deep-fried — probably amritsari kulcha.

The weather was pleasant, the rickshaw guy was friendly, and I just knew… this trip was going to be different in a good way.

🛏️ Where I Stayed — Thanks to cheQin.ai, I Didn’t Overthink

Usually, hotel bookings are where the headache begins. But not this time.

I opened CheQin.ai, posted my hotel needs:

Near Golden Temple, good Wi-Fi, free breakfast, safe and clean.

In 5 hotels near me responded with their lowest offers.
I picked a comfy room just 10 minutes from the temple, with a soft bed, AC, and hot parathas in the morning.
The best part? No phone calls, no awkward apps, and no hidden charges. Everything felt easy.

✨ Places I Visited — Heartfelt and Historic

Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) — No words can explain the peace here. I just sat by the water, watched the reflection, and felt like time paused for a bit.

jallianwala Bagh — Emotional and powerful. The silence here speaks louder than words.

Partition Museum — Very well done. Every photo and audio clip made me stop and think.

Wagah Border — High energy, loud cheers, and full desh-bhakti vibes. Must watch once.

Gobindgarh Fort — Cultural shows, 3D laser light show, and lots of photos.

Every place gave me a new emotion — and trust me, I’m not usually that deep.

🍽️ Food in Amritsar — Hot, Spicy, and Full of Butter

Amritsari Kulcha — Stuffed, crispy, buttery, served with chole and chutney. Heaven.

Lassi in tall steel glass — More like a meal than a drink.

Tandoori Chicken — Perfectly charred, spicy, and juicy.

Langar at Golden Temple — Simple food, served with pure love.

Jalebi and Pinni — Calories? Yes. Regrets? Never.

I walked a lot — mostly to burn food, but also because the street food smell kept calling me.

🧍‍♂️ People & Culture — Warm Smiles, Strong Values

The people in Amritsar are loud, loving, and super helpful. Every auto driver gives you food tips. Every shopkeeper has a story.

One aunty near the temple told me, “Eat first, shop later. Energy pehle aani chahiye.” I obeyed.

📌 Tips for Amritsar First-Timers (From Someone Who Just Returned)

Use CheQin.ai for hotel bookings — fast, easy, and trustable.

Visit Golden Temple early morning — it’s quiet and magical.

Try local food — skip the diet, trust your taste buds.

Walk a lot — the best views are in the gallis (lanes).

Carry some cash — small shops still prefer it.

💬 Final Thoughts — Amritsar Gave Me More Than I Expected

This wasn’t just a trip. It was peace, pride, and parathas all in one journey.
