Golden Temple Guided Tour
The tour begins at the entrance to the Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib and Darbar Sahib. An English-speaking guide will explain the history of this important site, which is visited by Sikhs at least once in their lifetime. You'll be able to enter the Clock Tower and other significant areas of this religious complex, including the Guru-Ka-Langar dining hall, which serves around 100,000 pilgrims daily.
Next, we will visit the nine-storey octagonal tower, Baba Atal, located just south of the Golden Temple. Built in 1784, this tower honors Atal Rai, the son of Guru Hargobind, the sixth of ten Gurus of Sikhism.
The tour concludes at the Sikh Reference Library and the Sikh Museum, where you will learn about the origins of Sikhism and the persecution of Sikhs after the partition of British India. This tour provides an immersive experience in the culture, history, and religion of the region.
