Amritsar

From Delhi we took a night train to Amritsar, in the north and very close to the Pakistani boarder. In this city we wanted to visit the Golden Temple, after the Taj Mahal, probably India's most famous monument. The Golden Temple is the holiest place for the Sikhs and situated in the middle of a lake (of immortality). A lot of pilgrims visit this place every day, but western tourists we saw only a few.

Apart of the temple there isn't anything else worth to see, Amritsar is a busy city, dirty and noisy as well, and the rikscha drivers are quite annoying...
