The SIKHS Surprised Me! First Impressions of THE GOLDEN TEMPLE | India Vlog🇮🇳



🇮🇳AMRITSAR, INDIA – I am in Punjab and these are my first impressions of the city of Amritsar. I was seriously impressed by how people treated me, how kind and welcoming Sikhs are, and I was truly shocked by the beauty of the Harmandir Sahib, the Golden Temple of Amritsar, a central religious place of the Sikhs. I hope you enjoy.

    India is 29 states 7 Union Territories. Each state is distinct and diverse by race, ethnicity, cuisine, language, festivals, ethnic dress, religion, mannerisms etc. No one state is similar to the other. Therefore India or indians cannot be stereotyped in one category for anything. Each state experience is unique. Google each "Indian state tourist spots" based on your preference (Dessert, Fort, Snow, Palaces, Hill Station, Himalayas, Temples, etc)
    Best time to visit India is in winters – Oct to Jan end. .

    1,Ajanta and Ellora Caves

    Time travel isn't a reality for travelers quite yet, but you can get pretty close at the Ajanta and Ellora Caves in Maharashtra. Both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the caves feature intricate carvings from at least 1,500 years ago.

    The Ajanta Caves are the oldest of the two attractions, featuring around 30 Buddhist cave monuments cut into the rock as far back as the 2nd century BC.

    Around 100 kilometers southwest, the Ellora Caves contain nearly three dozen Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu carvings, the most famous of which is the Kailasa Temple (Cave 16), a massive structure devoted to Lord Shiva that features life-size elephant sculptures. The magnificent carvings at both sites will leave you filled with wonder.
    2.Kerala
    Houseboat in Kerala
    Houseboat in Kerala
    Head south of Goa, and you'll trade beaches for tranquil backwaters in Kerala. Nothing beats the experience of hopping aboard a traditional thatched-top houseboat in Alleppey (also known as Alappuzha) and slowly floating through palm-fringed lagoons and rivers, either as a day trip or overnight adventure. You'll enjoy freshly cooked Indian cuisine on the water and breathtakingly beautiful natural sights and wildlife.

    Easygoing Kerala is like a breath of fresh air from the intensity of cities like New Delhi and Jaipur up north. Schedule some time here when you're in need of a break from the chaos.Goa
    Palolem Beach, South Goa
    Palolem Beach, South Goa
    India's not just full of big cities and holy sites–it also has incredible beaches down south in Goa. Its stretches of golden sand along the Arabian Sea offer something for every type of tourist, whether you're interested in hanging out with the backpacker crowd in laid-back beach huts or having a ritzy tropical getaway at a five-star resort.

    One unique part of Goa is its blend of Indian and Portuguese cultures. You'll experience the fusion throughout the destination, from its Baroque architecture and cathedrals to its spicy vindaloo curries and seafood dishes.3.Varanasi

    A holy person on the Ganges River in Varanasi
    One of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, Varanasi is arguably the holiest place in India. The spiritual activities take place along the sacred Ganges River, where pilgrims bathe and mourners cremate recently deceased relatives in plain view of passersby.

    Tourists, on the other hand, find their own flavor of spiritualism taking sunrise boat rides, releasing floral blessings that float on the river, and watching the fire-filled Hindu chanting ceremonies from the steep ghats.

    Away from the water, the streets of the old town twist and turn like an endless maze. Legend has it that there's still no accurate map of Varanasi, and once you experience the labyrinthine city for yourself, you'll be inclined to believe it.
    4.Amritsar
    The Golden Temple in Amritsar
    The Golden Temple in Amritsar
    Amritsar, the "Jewel of Punjab," has made its claim to fame with its remarkable Golden Temple. One of the holiest places in the world for Sikhs, the gilded structure is a sight to behold, glistening in the sun and reflecting into the large pool that surrounds it.

    The attraction also boasts the world's largest community kitchen, which serves 100,000 diners (including curious tourists!) lentils and curries every day.

    While in Amritsar, plan to spend an afternoon at the border of Pakistan to see the Beating Retreat Ceremony. Goose-stepping guards from long-term rivals India and Pakistan open and close the border gates at dusk in an over-the-top ceremony you'll never forget. Get there early to dance to blaring Bollywood music with locals in the streets.
