Golden Temple is one of the most serene places on earth. Home to the world's biggest kitchen the temple feeds around 100, 000 people everyday. I have spent my entire childhood volunteering at the kitchen, helping cook humongous meals with chefs.

I know the back alleys of the kitchen like the back of my hand and hence can get you access to areas otherwise not accessible by outsiders. Apart from the kitchen the temple is also a spiritual epicenter filled with so much positive energy all around the complex.

I personally love meditating in the hidden prayer rooms which are away from the tourists and provide a solitude in otherwise a very busy temple. Not revealing everything to keep a little element of surprise come explore the home of sikhism with a local sikh learning through stories, anecdotes and personal experience.

Amritsar In A Day

When travellers talk of heading up to Dharamsala (to see the Dalai Lama…), this is where they mean. Three kilometres north of Dharamsala town (or 10km via the looping bus route), McLeod Ganj is the residence of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and home to a large Tibetan population, including many monks and nuns.

The Tibetan government-in-exile is based just downhill at Gangchen Kyishong. McLeod attracts thousands of international visitors each year to volunteer with the Tibetan community, take courses in Buddhism, meditation or yoga, trek in the Dhauladhar mountains, shop for Tibetan crafts, or just hang out and enjoy the low-budget spiritual/alternative vibe and the many good cafes and restaurants dishing up Indo-Italo-Israeli-Tibetan food.

With an interesting mix of travellers, volunteers, maroon-robed monks and nuns, the international dharma crowd and an increasing flow of Indian tourists, you're never far from an interesting conversation here.
Renowned as the residence of Tibetan spiritual leader.

Amritsar is a sacred city, where people from whole world come to see the Harmandir Sahib
(Golden Temple ). But, that's not only what Amritsar is famous for! It's food and rich culture and many hidden gems can only be seen with a local guide like me. Just wait till you experience the narrow lanes flooded with the fragrance of thousands of spices.

I personally find peace at Golden temple and The Company garden, places where I can visit any time and meditate too. Living in this city since birth has helped me to have the knowledge about the history and the hidden places of the city better than any tourist guide who will make you visit only the popular places which can be easily seen from google.

I would be really glad to meet you at your hotel so that you guys do not find any difficulty . I am looking forward to showing you my home city!

2 Day Chandigarh Private Personalized Tour

Chandigarh is the best-planned city in India, with architecture which is world-renowned, and a quality of life which is unparalleled. As the capital of the states of Punjab and Haryana, and the Union Territory of Chandigarh it is a prestigious city. The face of modern India, Chandigarh, is the manifestation of a dream that Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru envisaged and Le Corbusier executed.

Serenity and a city are two diametrically opposite concepts, which however, get belied in the 'City Beautiful'. Chandigarh is a rare epitome of modernization co-existing with nature's preservation. It is here that the trees and plants are as much a part of the construction plans as the buildings and the roads. India's first planned city, is a rich, prosperous, spic and span, green city rightly called " THE CITY BEAUTIFUL ".
