Jallianwala Bagh is a historic garden in Amritsar, India, forever etched in history due to the tragic events that unfolded on April 13, 1919. During the British colonial era, a peaceful gathering took place here to protest the repressive Rowlatt Act. Brigadier General Reginald Dyer and his soldiers arrived and opened fire on the unarmed crowd without warning. Hundreds lost their lives, and many more were injured. Today, Jallianwala Bagh serves as a memorial, featuring the Flame of Liberty monument and a museum displaying artifacts, serving as a somber reminder of India's struggle for independence.
30 minutes
The Partition Museum is a public museum located in the town hall of Amritsar, Punjab, India.

The international border between India and Pakistan. The pomp and pageantry of the Beating Retreat and the Change of Guard within handshaking distance of the Indian and Pakistani forces makes for a most charming spectacle. Wagah, an army outpost on Indo-Pak border – between Amritsar and Lahore, is an elaborate complex of buildings, roads and barriers on both sides. The daily highlight is the evening “Beating the Retreat” ceremony. Soldiers from both countries march in perfect drill, going through the steps of bringing down their respective national flags. As the sun goes down, nationalistic fervour rises and lights are switched on marking the end of the day amidst thunderous applause.
