We start our trip from the holy city of Amritsar by visiting the famous places like Golden Temple, Durgiana Mandir, Jallianwala Bagh, Company Bagh, Gobindgarh Fort, Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Deep Singh.
Now we move towards Ram Tirath Mandir, which is 11 km from Amritsar. The temple is one of the oldest temples dating back to the time of Ramayana. According to Hindu Mythology, Sita gave birth to her twin sons Luv and Kush at this place, which was an ashrama of Maharishi Valmiki. There's an ancient tank, temples and a hut.
Our next destination is Sarai Amanat Khan located nearly 46 km on the Tarn Taran-Attari road. It was built by a Mughal noble Amanat Khan. The site has been announced as a "monument of national importance" under the 'Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act 1958'.
The sarai has a mosque, well and an open space within the courtyard for horses and bullocks. Remains of decorated arches with glazed tile-work reflect the Mughal architecture. The exciting journey to Wagha Border, becomes memorable if we see the exchange of salutes between the armies of India and Pakistan.
