In this Punjab India travel vlog, I make it to Amritsar! I stayed at a great hostel in Amritsar which I did both the food tour from this video as well as the Wagah border tour with them and definitely recommend both: www.booking.com/hotel/in/national-residency-amrits…

I started my first day in Amritsar by heading to the Golden Temple with two friends I made at the hostel the night before. We arrived at the temple, checked in our shoes, washed our hands and feet, and got head coverings. We then headed in to see the gorgeous temple! We didn't think we'd have time to go inside the inner part of the temple as the line is often really long, but we ended up making it inside - definitely worth it!!
After seeing the inside of the temple, we made our way over to Langar Hall which is the world's largest free community kitchen! They free anyone and everyone, 24/7 completely for free! It's also run by volunteers. Anyone can join in and help them make food, do the dishes, etc. It was amazing to see! We joined in to try the meal and then tour the kitchen area.
After the Golden Temple, I went to join some other hostel friends on an Amritsar Food Tour! We stopped at 6 different places for food and got to try
Bhalla Papdi, Paneer Bhurji, Gajar Halva, and my first Amritsar Lassi. We then took an auto away from the Golden Temple so we could try some meat dishes. First we went to the Beera Chicken House for their famous seasoned chicken and goat mutton. Next we went to Makhan Restaurant to try the most amazing Amritsari fried fish! It was soo good!! After that we went to the award winning Charming Chicken for some Butter Chicken. It was so much fun to be able to try all the food with everyone from the hostel as I am NOT a foodie at all ‎😅 but Amritsar is a foodie heaven so I'm happy I tried! After the food tour ended I went back to the Golden Temple again to see it at night. It looked amazing with the lights on and the reflection in the water!

    Hi , loved your vlog ❤. Just wanted to provide some additional information about Golden Temple , you know it has 4 main doors so that any human being irrespective of caste , colour , religion , social status can come and visit basically it symbolizes equality. Same goes with sitting on the ground and eating in the langar hall . One more thing , you might have observed that while entering the main premises of golden temple you have to get down the stairs it symbolises that one must be humble and lose the ego to reach god.

    few year back i found out that westerners do not like carrots that much it thought it a little weird but then that i came to know that they carrots that you guys have over there are bitter in taste but here in India or specially in Punjab we have Red carrots and they are very sweet in taste. You can eat them raw. I do this all the time they are very tasty even though i am very picky when it come to eat veggies.
