State of Punjab Walking?
Posted: Mon July 20, 2009 03:25 PM UTC
Is it safe and advisable for a foreigner (U.S.) to walk in the countryside around towns and villages or between towns and villages? I enjoy walks but do not want to run risk of trespassing or any trouble. I have been through Punjab to Amritsar before but would like to stop off the train in towns and see the countryside.

Amritsar Golden Temple tour
Posted: Thu March 26, 2009 01:26 AM UTC
Hello; I had hoped to take a luxury train from New Delhi, arriving in Amritsar about 115PM.I would then return to New Delhi at 5PM.A tour company told me that there would not be enough time to see the temple if I did that. How long does it take to get from the railway station to the temple? How long should I spend at the temple to truly enjoy it? Thank you...Bob

Amritsar Looking for a dry and pleasant June destination linked by a discount airline from Dubai
Posted: Mon December 8, 2008 07:58 PM UTC
Looking for a dry, pleasant June destination linked by a discount airline from Dubai

I am going to spend the Springtime in Iran, and in June I am changing flights in Dubai to somewhere dry, and pleasant serviced by one of the discount airlines operating in the UAE.

My research shows Air Arabia flies to

Almaty, Kazakhstan (near beautiful Kyrgyzstan)
Lebanon
Nepal

All three of these destinations appeal to me but Nepal's rainy monsoon season begins in June, and I don't want to be there when it's raining.

Lebanon, and Kazakhstan have the nicest weather during summer, but I think Canadians need a visa to go to Kazakhstan, like a real visa (pre-arranged at the Kazakh embassy either in Tehran, or Dubai). Also, it sounds difficult to arrange, and really expensive. Does anyone know the cost of 1 month tourist visa for Canadians going to Kazakhstan? I am only interested in Almaty, and then I want to cross the border to Kyrgyz, then Uzbek, and Tajik. I'd like to do a little circle, and end up back in Almaty again, only because Air Arabia flies from there. I could also be interested in a land crossing entering Tibet, but I don't know if that's possible for foreigners. Regarding a Kazakh visa, perhaps a 3 day transit visa is enough? See Almaty, and then hop the border to Bishkek?

Air India Express flies Dubai to Amritsar, India, and I know India is HOT in June, but if I start in Amritsar, and head NORTH to Kashmir, maybe there is an international border/crossing (along with land transport) to Tibet? Of Course, then I need a Chinese visa/permit, and where to get that in Amritsar, or Kashmir?

If I go to India, I prefer to go high in altitude because it is June, and I don't want to be at sea level, especially in a big city like Mumbai or Dehli. I just hope Northwestern India is relatively dry in June.

Ok so Air Arabia, or Air India Express, and there are a couple other airlines flying to really HOT places like Phillipines, but since it's June, I didn't include any tropical destinations.

So, please let me know which destination you think is best for June, and then from there, into the Summer.

Lebanon, Almaty, Kazakhstan, or Nepal (rainy?) on AA
or Northwestern India on AIA

I also have the optionn of entering Turkmenistan, or Armenia by road after Iran (I think June could be a good time in either place), but Turkmenistan doesn't seem to have any Couchsurfers, which is how I travel. No hotels, ever.

Let me know your thoughts about June.

Amritsar Mrs Bhandari's Guest House
Posted: Sun January 20, 2008 07:55 PM UTC
This place used to get some very good reviews but nothing that I can see that is recent. Is it still in operation and does anybody have any feedback on what it's like now. First entry I found was in an old Lonely Planet guide. Any feedback gratefully recieved. Excluding this I'm tempted to join the pilgrims at the golden temple itself. What is the position regarding leaving and returning to the dorms as I would probably want to wander off into the city for an evening meal. I'm assuming that there is a seperat enterance for the dorms as opposed to the temple?

Looking for:

I haven't been able to see if there are flights from Amritsar to Srinagar and what company operates them. I have seen flights from Jammu, but ideally I'd like to leave from Amritsar to save myself a night train ride... Thanks.

Amritsar Amritsar Hotel
Posted: Wed September 20, 2006 09:33 PM UTC
Please can anyone advise of a decent clean hotel in Amritsar with a pool. I need a clean hotel as I will be visiting with my 1 year old daughter.

Please also can you advise is Amritsar the kind of place where people spend a couple of hours around the pool sunbathing, as if we look out of place, then I may as well look for a hotel without pool.

Thanks

Amritsar From Delhi Airport to Amritsar
Posted: Mon September 18, 2006 10:06 AM UTC
I'm due to land at Delhi Indira Ghandi Airport at midnight at the end of October.
From the airport I'd like to get to Amritsar as quicky as possible.
I've read that there are bus connections from the Indira Ghandi Airport to Amritsar, but there's lack of detailed information about it on the internet. I've only found that there is probably an indocanadian bus which is running after every two hrs and the price is 25.00 USD
Has anybody traveled from the Delhi Airport do Amritsar directly?

Amritsar Visit in March
Posted: Sun December 18, 2005 07:26 PM UTC
I will be visiting India in March to watch the cricket. After the Mohali Test match I intend to travel by train to Amritsar to visit the Golden Temple. The train is due to arrive at 13:10. Can somebody tell me if I will have enough time to visit the Golden Temple that same afternoon as I will really need to get a flight out the following morning. How long does a visit normally take?

Could someone also recommend a hotel for around the IR1000 to IR1400 range.

Thanks

Amritsar blessing at armitsar
Posted: Sun February 22, 2004 12:32 AM UTC
I hope someone is able to give me some advice. I am traveling to the punjab in late march. I am traveling with my partner and i hope to get a blessing in punjab. Although i am a sikh ( he is a non sikh) and we both wished to be blessed. We are both 'simple' beings and feel that the razmataz of a big wedding ceremony is not for us and although not religous - we both are very spirtual. I have travelled to punjab on a number of occassions and it well be his first.
My parents will be travelling out before us - i have requested a no frills'ceremony' but deep down i would feel very fulfilled in having a ceremony/blessing within the vicinity of the golden temple. Mother no doubt will be doing her bit- i would just like a bit of 'control' and knowlegde.
