Visit the Golden Temple (Harmander Sahib), renowned for its golden dome and revered as a key Sikh pilgrimage site. The temple, built on a marble platform, features an upper half adorned with 400 kg of gold leaf. The complex includes the Durgiana Temple and the Sikh Museum atop the Clock Tower. The Guru Ka Langar serves free meals to around 20,000 people daily, with numbers increasing to 100,000 on special occasions.

Visit the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum, dedicated to the influential Sikh ruler known as the Lion of Punjab. The museum houses a valuable collection of artifacts, including paintings, weapons, armors, manuscripts, and coins, highlighting the rich cultural and historical heritage of Punjab.

Discover Gobindgarh Fort, initially built by Gujjar Singh Bhangi and later expanded by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The fort, named in honor of Guru Gobind Singh, features historic cannons like the 'Zamzama' and was a strategic stronghold with significant treasures and military supplies, later modified by the British.
