Golden Temple Guided Tour

The tour begins at the Golden Temple entrance, also known as the Harmandir Sahib and Darbar Sahib. An English-speaking guide will provide insights into the history of this significant site, visited by Sikhs at least once in their lifetime. You will appreciate its beauty and the reflection of its silhouette on the surrounding water.

You will enter the Clock Tower and other key areas of this religious complex, as well as the renowned Guru-Ka-Langar dining hall, serving about 100,000 pilgrims daily.

The next stop is the nine-storey octagonal tower, Baba Atal, situated south of the Golden Temple. Built in 1784, this tower commemorates Atal Rai, the son of the sixth Guru of Sikhism, Guru Hargobind.

The tour concludes at the Sikh Reference Library and the Sikh Museum, where you will learn more about the origins of Sikhism and the persecution faced by Sikhs following the partition of British India. This offers a comprehensive exploration of the culture, history, and religion of the area.
