In the evening, wander through the bustling Mall Road, and end your day by indulging in some local Punjabi cuisine at Kesar Da Dhaba - remember, when in Amritsar, 'Eat like a Punjabi!'

Day 3 - A Brisk Border Visit and Scrumptious Street Food

Commence your last day with a trip to the electrifying Wagah Border ceremony. Watching the energetic parade by Indian and Pakistani soldiers stands as a thrilling punctuation to the trip. On your return, enjoy some snacks at the food stalls lining up on the highway. In the evening, explore the labyrinth of Amritsar's Old City, grab some local merchandise from Kapra bazaar and don't forget to relish some hot jalebis and Samosas. Lastly, end your three-day spiritual, historical and culinary journey with the mouth-watering dinner at Bharawan Da Dhaba.
