Two days is the honest Amritsar shape — the first for the shrine and its history, the second for the border and the food. Checked 02 October 2026.
Day 1 — the temple complex
| Time | Plan |
|---|---|
| Pre-dawn | Palki Sahib Prakash ceremony (reported ~3/4 AM seasonal) |
| Morning | Sarovar parikarma; darshan; karah prasad |
| 12 PM | Langar — eat, then an hour of seva |
| 3 PM | Jallianwala Bagh; Partition Museum (closed Mon) |
| Evening | Heritage Street food walk; Sukhasan ceremony if energy holds |
Day 2 — Wagah and the kulcha trail
| Time | Plan |
|---|---|
| 8 AM | Kulcha breakfast (Kulcha Land / All India Famous class) |
| 10 AM | Durgiana Temple; Mata Lal Devi Mandir |
| 2 PM | Depart for Wagah (~30 km), arrive 1–2 h early |
| ~4:15/5:15 PM | Retreat Ceremony (seasonal — verify) |
| Evening | Return; late langar dinner |
Adjustments
- One-day version: temple + langar + Jallianwala; Wagah waits for the next trip.
- Elders: the complex is flat with e-carts and wheelchairs reported — the elderly guide.
- Gurpurab weeks: everything multiplies — the festival guide’s calendar.
