    Your journey begins in Amritsar, the sacred city of the Golden Temple. Here, you’ll explore iconic landmarks like the Sri Harmandir Sahib, Jallianwala Bagh, and the Partition Museum, while also witnessing the electrifying Wagah Border ceremony. Dive deeper into Punjabi culture with a visit to Sadda Pind, a heritage village that brings alive the traditional food, music, and lifestyle of rural Punjab.

    The serene hill station of Palampur awaits, framed by the Dhauladhar mountains. Experience the beauty of its tea gardens, sample authentic Kangri Dham, hike to nearby waterfalls, or try your hand at pottery at the artistic Andretta village. A day trip to Bir Billing, the world’s second-highest paragliding site, offers stunning views and thrilling adventure.

    At Pong Dam, step into an eco-village surrounded by a water reservoir teeming with birdlife. Explore submerged temples, go boating, and soak in nature’s bliss. It’s a haven for wildlife and birdwatching enthusiasts, with sunrise walks and tranquil waterside moments.

    Then, continue to Ropar’s Kikar Lodge, a wilderness retreat offering exciting jeep safaris with chances to spot leopards, tigers, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Unwind in lush surroundings and reconnect with nature.

    Finally, explore Shimla, the “Queen of Hills.” Discover colonial-era architecture, stroll along Mall Road, visit Craignano Nature Park in Mashobra, and spot Himalayan wildlife like the Himalayan Monal and barking deer. End your journey with scenic views and a Vande Bharat train ride from Chandigarh to Delhi.
