Punjab Tourism & Travel Guide - Know Before you Go!

Punjab Overview

Punjab is a state in north (north-western) India. It is a lush green state and is the ‘wheat basket of India’. A rail journey in and out of Punjab will bring you in sight of some really beautiful and lush wheat & maize fields. Punjab literally means ‘the land of five rivers’. So, tourists can expect a lot of greenery and wetness in this region. The state has a number of pretty rivers and waterfalls. The state has a rich historic legacy. One of the prime and painful reminders of the British era, the Jallianwallah Bagh, is located here in the city of Amritsar, the place where General Dyer (in 1919) ordered his troops to open fire at thousands of people who had gathered for a peaceful meeting. Amritsar also houses the Golden Temple which is easily the most popular attraction of the state. Primarily, it is a religious place for the Sikhs. But its gold-coated tiers and stunning location in the midst of a holy tank makes this temple a must-visit for people of all communities. Punjab is also known for its powerful culture which has found expression through the ‘bhangra’ dance and lavish Punjabi cuisines. The state is definitely a foodie’s paradise. Punjabis (as stereotypes go) are full of life, and you'll often hear that is they who really know how to celebrate life. It is a lifestyle that is zestful, laidback and very live-in-the-moment. Major sightseeing places include Sheesh Mahal (in Patiala), Golden Temple (in Amritsar) and Jallianwallah Bagh (in Amritsar). So, travel to Punjab and experience the undiscovered secrets of life.
