Besides academics, a visit to the holy city of Amritsar is on the bucket list of almost all Indians and that is not without a reason. Amritsar Historically known as Ramdaspur was founded by Sri Guru Ram Das Ji, the Fourth Guru of the Sikhs in 1574 A.D. Situated just 28 km from the Indo Pak border, this second largest city in Indian state of Punjab is a major religious, cultural, and economic center. I can assure you that your visit to the holy city will be a memorable one. You can soak yourself in the spiritual tranquility of Shri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), fill yourself with patriotic fervour at Wagha border and a profound sense of solemnity at Jallianwala Bagh that witnessed the devastating events of April 13, 1919. You can also visit Bhagwan Valmiki Tirth Sthal, Durgiana Mandir, Gobindgarh Fort, Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum and Sada Pind (our village) while tickling your taste buds all through the day with classical Amritsari delicacies.

Amritsar's extensive connectivity to all major cities of India via rail, road and air routes will help you chalk out an easy and comfortable travel plan.

Kindly save the dates. The famous Amritsari hospitality awaits you.
