Khajjiar Lake is situated in the middle of Khajjiar Valley. This is a small lake with lots of fishes. When we visited the lake most of the lake was covered with water grass. I think this lake need more maintenance.

Nice place. Much commercialized, but the beauty is superb, in the winters, when I got to see the frozen lake, making the place all white. I could only imagine, how much beautiful, it would be, if the place is remote with very less people. That would be gem in the middle of the forest. But the place is very much in demand, with lot of people visiting here & lot of business, activities, selling of products, etc going on. Resulting in lot of vehicles, traffic, mud, jams, horns, which takes away some of the serenity & beauty of the place. But, even then, a frozen lake is beautiful, which you mesmerize most. The place is, though quite clean, even after so much of human activities going on. Worth a visit. Share your like, if the review is appreciated, for it would mean that it is helping others out there exploring.

Khajjiar Lake is a beautiful place with green forest all around. Best place to spend some peaceful time with friends and family.

Visiting Khajjiar Lake in Himachal Pradesh was an enchanting experience that left me awe-inspired by nature's beauty. The moment I reached this picturesque location, I was greeted by the breathtaking landscape of lush green meadows, surrounded by towering deodar trees. I took a peaceful stroll around the lake, absorbing the tranquility and enjoying the cool breeze that gently caressed my face. ->For adventure seekers, there were options for horse riding and zorbing, which added an extra dose of excitement to the visit. -> Highly recommended for those seeking solace amidst nature's wonders! 🏔️🚶‍♂️📸

I visited Khajjiar shortly after the monsoon (one of the best seasons to visit). It is a sprawling green meadow with a marsh lake in the middle and surrounded all around by deodar trees. There is a cottage run by Himachal tourism situated right in the meadow (the iconic photo that you see when you search Khajjiar in Google), where you can book your stay through the Himachal tourism website. It was lush green and the weather was pleasant in September. The good thing about Khajjiar is that it's not overcrowded (yet). There is so much fresh air and tranquility. You can take a good walk around the perimeter and then sit on a bench and enjoy the view how much ever you want. This place is a great escapade from the noise and crowd of the city.

Khajjiar which is also known as Mini Switzerland truly lives up to its name. This majestic place is a must visit place in your lifetime. There are hardly any places like this in india other than Kashmir Doodh Pathri. I visited this place multiple times but every time this place feels special. Visited this place 9 months back too.

This is a small hamlet valley in the midst of mountain forests and high peaks. Its beautiful when cloudy and even prettier when sunny! Too many tourists, but it still holds on to its beauty. Happy to see, tourists have littered less here.

I visited Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary, and honestly, it wasn’t what I expected. The 3 km uphill drive/walk was scenic, with a peaceful forest vibe, but I barely saw any wildlife along the way. The entry fee was ₹50 for bikes, which seemed reasonable, but there wasn’t much to explore once inside. If you’re looking for fun activities or major attractions, this might not be the place for you. The area felt completely deserted—I didn’t come across anyone else during the entire stretch, which made it a bit eerie. While the natural setting is nice for a quiet walk, I wouldn’t recommend it for those expecting an exciting experience.

It’s about a 6 km round-trip walk from the starting point. You can pay at the gate and bring your own vehicle into the sanctuary; it costs 50 INR for a two-wheeler. However, I would recommend walking through it. It’s scenic, quiet, and beautiful, with tall trees on both sides, green fields, and plenty of photogenic spots.

Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary – A Quick Take Just 6 km from Dalhousie, Kalatop is a peaceful, pine-scented escape perfect for nature walks and light treks. The sanctuary is home to deodar forests, Himalayan black bears, barking deer, and rare birds—though actual wildlife sightings can be rare. Scenic, clean, and quiet, it’s ideal for a half-day getaway. Don’t expect safari thrills—this is more about serenity than spectacle. Entry fee applies; roads can be bumpy but manageable.

Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary was quite disappointing. The narrow road leading up is in poor condition, and driving there is challenging since personal vehicles are allowed. This often causes traffic jams on the steep and tight roads, making the journey stressful rather than enjoyable. The entry fee of ₹200 with personal vehicle doesn’t feel justified, as there’s very little to see inside. I didn’t spot any animals during the visit. There’s just a small forest rest house from 1925 and a few spots to sit. The only highlight is the lovely hill view, where you can enjoy pakoras and tea at a rooftop viewpoint cafe. Overall, you can easily skip this spot unless you just want a quiet place for mountain views. It doesn’t offer much for the entry fee or the effort to reach there.

It is just beautiful place. To reach you have to drive a dangerous road but it is adventures. In June it is a cold and clean place. There is no wild animal. No zoo

Kalatop wildlife sanctuary located almost 4km from Lakadmandi and almost 12km from city centre !! There was not good route to reach their in rainy season whole road was filled with mud !! And u can reach their by own vehicle , rented taxi or cab !! U can reach there by walk as well but u need to walk almost 1 hour !! Its peaceful place !! No ticket required for entry or neither for parking !! Plenty of cafes are there !! Overall good experience!! And last thing there was not a single animal there !! Its just gemic to catch attention of tourists

Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary is situated near Dalhousie. You need to take local union cars to visit there. Small car fair 1200 and 1600 for suv. At the hill top there is a Forest Rest House which was made by British in 1925. Beside that a green lawn surrounded by huge pine forests. Also there are few small resturents run by locals and a small adventure perk. While visiting Dalhousie one can easily skip this place, as the place is not worthy so musc except the road. But in winter when this place is totally covered with snow then the place worth visiting more.

Amazing place to visit for everyone. Very easy trek, harldy 1/2 hr to reach on top. You can spend as much time as you want, you will be in between the clouds at top. There is Temple on top and various shops for snacks. Toilet facilities available. Near temple. We visited in month of September end it was very less crowded and peaceful. Parking available at road side.

Dainkund Peak is an absolute must-visit in Dalhousie! The hike to the Pohlani Devi Temple is beautiful and very enjoyable, with a well-defined, easy-to-follow path, so there’s absolutely no need for a guide. The trail is clean, scenic, and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy nature at a relaxed pace. Once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with stunning 360° panoramic views of the mountains and valleys around — truly breathtaking and worth every step of the hike. The cool breeze, peaceful surroundings, and wide open vistas make it a memorable experience. Highly recommended for nature lovers, casual hikers, and anyone visiting Dalhousie!

Trekking at Dainkund Peak was an unforgettable experience, offering a perfect blend of serenity and natural beauty. As I ascended the trail, a peaceful silence enveloped the surroundings, broken only by the soft rustling of leaves and the distant calls of birds. The path meandered through lush green meadows and dense forest patches, gradually leading me above the clouds. Walking amidst the mist and cool mountain breeze felt surreal—as if nature itself had paused in quiet admiration. From the summit, the panoramic view of the surrounding was breath taking. It was a soul-refreshing journey, where every step brought a deeper connection to nature.

Amazing trek with beautiful panaromic.views.It is highest point of Dalhousie.I would say more scenic and beautiful than Khajiaar.It takes hardly half an hour to reach top from base. Complete the trek to reach Pohani Mata temple. Please seek advice from locals in case of inclement weather

Trek is easy. First 600 meters of the treck is inclined after that it's easy and the path is straight. Pohlani mata temple is at the peak and you can view manimahesh kailash if there is no fog. And the view is so amazing literally so beautiful. If you're visiting Dalhousie you must go here.

One of the Best Place to visit Daikund Trek if you are planning to go to Dalhousie. It’s a 1.5 km trek. The gates will be closed on 4:00pm. Try to reach early. Must carry your water bottles, you will definitely need it. At the top there is a popular Pholani Devi Temple. View from the top is mesmerising. You will definitely love and enjoy it.

Marvellous place. Do the trek, climb the peaks. View from top of the mountain is breath taking. Approximately 30-35 mins of trek from airforce barrier.

St. John's Church, located on Mall Road near Gandhi Chowk in Dalhousie, Himachal Pradesh, is the town's oldest church and a significant historical landmark. Constructed in 1863, it was established after the arrival of Reverend John H. Pratt, who encouraged the Protestant community to build a permanent structure to replace the earlier wooden chapel. The church's architecture reflects Victorian-era design, characterized by stone construction with wooden beams, and bears resemblance to Roman Catholic churches of England, though it serves a Protestant congregation. Inside, visitors can admire stunning stained-glass windows depicting St. John the Baptist and St. Peter. The church also houses a library containing rare books and photographs that offer insights into Dalhousie's colonial past. Regular Sunday services are held, attracting both locals and tourists. Over the years, St. John's Church has become a popular tourist attraction, not only for its religious significance but also for its serene ambiance and historical value. Surrounded by lush greenery and offering panoramic views of the Himalayas, it provides a peaceful retreat for visitors seeking reflection and tranquillity. The church is open daily from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and entry is free of charge. Its location on Mall Road makes it easily accessible and a convenient stop for those exploring the town.

A spiritual heaven in Dalhousie. Inside, the aura of reverence is palpable. The flickering candles, the aroma of incense, and the soft hymns echoing through the halls create a sense of peace that is truly unparalleled. Moreover, the vibrant street market surrounding the church adds to the charm of the experience. From colorful trinkets to delectable street food, there's something to delight every sense.

One of the oldest churches in Dalhousie, surrounded by beautiful trees and colonial charm. But during my visit, the church was empty and renovation work was going on, so the peace you’d usually expect was replaced by a lot of construction noise. The structure itself is lovely from the outside, and it’s a nice stop if you’re walking around the area. Hopefully, once the renovation is complete, it’ll regain its peaceful vibe. Good for a quick visit — just not the quiet experience you’d expect from a hill station church (at least for now)

An architectural gem located in the heart of Dalhousie. Although I’m not a member of the church, I did appreciate the equanimity and beautiful setting

I would like to say one thing that this church has become my favorite. Going here gives a sense of peace. The nearby place is also very good for visiting and there is a place to stay as well.

St. John's Church is a scenic, colonial-era spot located in the heart of Dalhousie. Popular among tourists for its architecture and photo opportunities, it’s often buzzing during the day. For a quieter experience, visit in the late evening when the surroundings are calm and peaceful. A quick, worthwhile stop if you're exploring the town.

This church is one of the famous tourist's attractions in Dalhousie which is just opposite Gandhi chowk. The church was not opened due to heavy snowfall so we managed to get in from the back door. As it was fully occupied by snow it was looking even more beautiful. Definitely, this church is a must-visit place.

This temple is on the main chandigarh highway. The serene environment, peacefulness and mantra chanting gives a peace to the mind. This temple is famous to protect oneself from kaala jaadu, evil eye etc

Beautiful temple with such a divine vibe, one should go there to experience the energy from one of the 51 shaktipeeth of india. They distribute bhandara from 12 to 2.30 if anyone's interested.

The temple is open from 5:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 12:30 PM to 8:00 PM. The temple conducts aarti five times a day, with specific timings for morning and evening aartis. The temple celebrates various festivals, including Navratri and Makar Sankranti, which are significant events. The temple features classic North Indian architecture with intricate stone carvings. It's one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, believed to be the site where Sati's left breast fell. The temple is situated in Kangra, about 20 km from Dharamshala and 3 km from Kangra railway station.Every day there held a "langar" for the people coming in temple.There you could contribute in service by helping them in maintaince and all the people are very cooperative and supportive.

Jay mata di, Shandar mandir Bahut attractive energy you can feel here. Can go.... Himachal is famous for dev bhumi.....

Shaktipeet in Kangra HP. we visited in july 2019. good vobes and felt blessed to be here. limited parking place was available then and the temple was slightly crowded being the main shaktipeet here

I often visit the temple to take blessings. May shri Brijeshwari mata blesses all of us.

Jai Maa Brijeshwari. Very nice temple and good vibes though connected by very small and crowded street

Beautiful & historic Fort in Kangra. The architecture is beautiful & worth exploring. There’s lot of stairs to climb to get to the top where you get the view of beautiful river flowing & mountains covered with clouds. You can sit, enjoy the view or go for a small picnic. A small ticket of 20rs is needed for entry. Many people visit there with their families so might be slightly crowded. Restroom available inside is not very clean. Beautiful flowers & greenery inside.

Visiting Kangra Fort was an incredible experience! 🌄 The fort is majestic and steeped in history, perched on a hill with breathtaking views of the Kangra Valley. Walking through its ancient stone walls and gates, you really feel the stories of centuries gone by. The architecture is stunning, with intricate carvings and impressive fortifications that show the skill of the craftsmen of that era. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, making it perfect for photography or just soaking in nature. The site is well-maintained, though wearing comfortable shoes is a must because there’s a lot of walking and some steep climbs. Local guides are available and really add value by sharing fascinating historical anecdotes. Overall, Kangra Fort is a must-visit for history buffs, nature lovers, and anyone who appreciates breathtaking views combined with cultural heritage. Definitely a day trip you’ll remember! 🏰🌿

Beautiful fort. Tis incredible to see such feats of architecture so high up in the mountains of Himalayas. It is easy to get to, and the hike is not bad at all. It was not crowded when we visited. There's also a museum across from the Fort that you can visit to know about its history.

Its a great place to hangout. Calm, peaceful. Other than the fort museum is also there. Good to know about Indian history. Various stone age tools, old currencies and sculptures are preserved there.

Kangra Fort - Amazing fort & museum, so underrated. Centuries of history, steeped in stone. Some claim it be over 2000 years old. Needs good guides and stone tablets to read. Good there were only a few people. It is a gem tucked just off the highway to Kangra & Dharamshala.

Such a nice place to visit and to know the history of Kangra better. You must have seen fort before but he speciality of this fort is that it is solely built on a mountain so it will give you a trekking with a fort vibe. Must visit if you are near by.

The views from the top are quite nice. But the place could be maintained much better — parts of it felt neglected, and there wasn’t much information to help understand its history. It’s worth a short visit if you’re in the area.

On return from Dharamshala to Chandigarh we planned to visit Masroor Rock cut temple. It is a real wonder as temples are built on one Rock just as in Ellora. Though temples were affected by 1905 earthquake but one can see the temple. Restoration work is going on and idols have been kept for worship. However no one is allowed to offer money.

A monolithic rock cut temple of around eighth century. The place is not so popular among tourists. The architecture is wonderful and amazing. Although it was damaged by the 1905 earthquake, still what remains is awesome. A must visit for history lovers.

Masroor Rock Cut Temples – A Hidden Gem of Ancient Architecture Visited on: 6th May 2025 On 6th May 2025, we explored one of Himachal Pradesh’s lesser-known but truly awe-inspiring historical sites —the Masroor Rock Cut Temples. Located about 40 km from Dharamshala, this archaeological wonder is nestled in the quiet village of Masroor, offering a rare and mesmerizing blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. These temples are believed to date back to the 8th century and are carved entirely out of a single rock, much like the famous Kailasa Temple in Ellora. The complex consists of 15 monolithic rock-cut shrines, primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva, though some also depict Vishnu and other deities from the Hindu pantheon. What’s most striking is the intricate detailing in the stone carvings—though many have weathered over the centuries, the remaining figures, pillars, and facades still hint at the grandeur of the original structure. The temples face the Dhauladhar mountain range, and there's a serene water tank in front that reflects the entire complex beautifully—especially during clear daylight. The site is relatively quiet and uncrowded, allowing you to explore at your own pace, absorb the silence, and marvel at the craftsmanship. There’s a calm, sacred energy in the air, and it's easy to feel transported to a different era. Highlights of Our Visit: - The panoramic view of the snow-capped Dhauladhars from the temple platform was breathtaking. - The cool stone interiors offered a welcome break from the summer heat. - The peaceful ambiance made it ideal for quiet reflection and photography. Travel Tips: - You'll need to purchase tickets online from the website of the Archeological Society of India - Best visited in the morning or late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds. - Carry water and snacks, as there are limited facilities around the site. - Wear sturdy shoes—some parts involve uneven steps and rocky paths. - Respect the sanctity of the temple area and avoid climbing over fragile carvings. Final Thoughts: The Masroor Rock Cut Temples are a true hidden treasure of Himachal Pradesh. Though not as widely publicized as other heritage sites in India, they deserve much more recognition for their architectural and historical significance. If you're in the Dharamshala or Kangra region, make the time to visit—you’ll walk away with a sense of wonder and deep appreciation for ancient Indian artistry.

Must visit _ one of 4 across India which are rock cut. This does not have the ellora or mahabalipuram experience but still is a must visit if near here. Dont miss the reflection from the waters and the view from the top

Magnificent historical monument 😻. Visitors are drawn to an ancient era through the wonder of the ancient carvings and wintage nostalgia.It looks quite ancient,though the mentioned info doesn't seem all right .Lot f buddha inspired art also seen.Unfortanely only small pieces of the monument is remaining.

A good place to visit and enjoy architecture and our history. Peaceful. Tickets need to have vash counter as well, online is the only option.

The Masroor Temple, also known as the Rock-Cut Temple, is an 8th-century Hindu temple complex located in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. It's a remarkable example of ancient Indian rock-cut architecture, carved out of a single sandstone rock. According to local mythology, the Pandavas built the temple during their exile.The temple complex consists of 15 rock-cut temples arranged around a rectangular water pond, reflecting the intricate carvings in its still waters. The temple showcases North Indian Nagara architecture style, with a central shikhara tower and a sacred pool.The temple is dedicated to deities to Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Devi, and Saura of Hinduism, with sculptures and reliefs depicting various gods and goddesses. The temple complex was first reported by Henry Shuttleworth in 1913 and is believed to have been built between the 7th -9th centuries AD.The temple is located in the Kangra Valley, 43 km from Dharamshala. The temple is open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.the Entry fees I think ₹25 And the Best Time to Visit in this month ie October to February forpleasant weather and festivals.

Occasionally open... You'll need to get some permissions to enter into the main area. Not an excellent place just moderate Place is surrounded and covered by cantonment board.. Photography outside the premises is not permissible. This place is Also known as Pong dam

It was quite good. Just sit and enjoy the cold breeze and silence. There are water activities too, but not on sunday so we missed those activities.

The most beautiful water reservoir in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh with awesome attractions from all sides. Enjoy boating on different edges and a variety of foreign birds species. A great place to visit for all natural beauty lovers. Summertime is the best to enjoy vacations around this beautiful place.

I went to Maharana Pratap Sagar. Maharana Pratap Sagar, in India, otherwise called Pong Reservoir or Pong Dam Lake was made in 1975, by building the most elevated earthfill dam in India on the Beas River in the wetland zone of the Siwalik Hills of the Kangra region of the province of Himachal Pradesh. It is great place to go.

Maharana Partap sagar Dam which is populary known as Pong Dam built on Beas river in Himachal Pardes just adjacent to Punjab Border. One can visit here after getting the permit from Executive Engineer. But clicking is strictly prohibited due to security reasons . Awesome location and beautiful view.one can enjoy boating and fishing here.

Beautiful place for bird watching and sports activities.

Beautiful place. Immense lake with lots of aquatic life. Paradise for anglers and bird watchers, especially Rancer island. Great place to lay back and relax and to connect with nature.

🕉️🙏Jai mata di 🕉️🙏 🕉️🛐🙏Always feel blessed visiting temple🕉️🛐🙏

Jai mata kali tera vachan na jaye khali this is really very old hindu goddess ma kali mandir temple is very well maintained clean and peacfull veey havy rush on every Tuesday the great wrestler khali also came her when he came at pathankot years ago this is very awesome temple

One of the oldest temples in Pathankot

Hindu Temple at Patiala Gate Sangrur .. enough space for parking , Green Grounds for public , Govt property , believed to be very sacred place as Kali Mata mandirs are limited in area. Committee of Mandir is very Cooperative.

This Mandir is the heart of the city. All the people who live in Pathankot city well-known this Mandir. If you visit Pathankot please go there and stay blessed with Kali Mata blessings.. Jai Mata Ki

Jai Mata di!! It's like from very early days I have been visiting here on Tuesday's and festival days. Today had a privilege to seek blessings on Deepawali day

It was an awesome experience to visit mata ji mandir in last navratri.

Peaceful pilgrim place where people come from various parts of India to wish and pray for their goodwill. However the Sarovar is in bad shape and needs a lot of cleaning.

Pandori Dham is not just a spiritual destination—it’s an experience that touches your soul. The peaceful aura, divine energy, and unwavering devotion felt here are beyond words. Every corner tells a story—from the serene sarovar to the murals that bring the Ramayana alive. I felt deeply connected, grounded, and spiritually recharged. The langar, the darshan, and the presence of the 1108 Acharya Raghubir Das ji all come together to create a sense of belonging. It’s a place where time slows down, and the heart feels full. If you’re seeking inner peace and divine blessings, Pandori Dham is a must-visit.

Pandori Dham is a serene and picturesque destination. The main gate and spacious parking area make it convenient for visitors. The temple's interior is meticulously maintained, exuding tranquility. The temple complex features various sacred spots for worship and reflection. We visited with our family and felt a deep sense of peace. There's also a cave, now closed, which was once used as a passage. It's said to stretch far, even connecting to Haridwar. Outside the temple lies a serene pond with a Shiva idol. We strolled around, enjoyed the park, and spotted peacocks nearby. During rainfall, the place becomes even more enchanting. *Tips for visiting:* 1. Ideal for family outings. 2. Offers spiritual solace and peace. 3. Natural beauty and peacock spotting. Pandori Dham is a haven for spiritual rejuvenation and relaxation.

Very Good Place. But go in the morning. We went in evening and there was no crowd. No people.

Pandori Dham's history dates back approximately 500 years, founded by the Ramanandi saint Shri Bhagwanji and his disciple Shri Narainji. It is a significant Vaishnava establishment and part of a sacred network of 52 Vaishnav Dwaras. The temple serves as a spiritual center and retreat, known for its peaceful atmosphere and the Baisakhi fair.

My parents say they are hooked to this place from Generations. So we have got to know this place from family only and we tend to visit twice or thrice a year. Whenever some marriage happens in my family, it is custom to donate bedsheets blanket and pillows here. Reason I don't know but that's what we are supposed to do as told by my great grand maternal mother. So recently we did that. Place is hub to nature. One can easily spot the peacocks here and all the Flora and fauna. The place has alot of importance. They say under guruji one pet dog specifically female dog just ate almost 50 KG opium in front of jahangeer जहांगीर badshah and then That king alloted the whole space wherever that dog went. Lot of parking space is available but the link road as of today was under construction which connects pandhori to national highway. Langar is available nearby 1 to 2PM. Tea snacks will be available from 4 PM. SBI bank and ATM are available here for working days only.One has to bow heads in front of Baba mahesh das ji temple while Coming and going also then only the visit will be completed. Market offers prasad which you can take along to temple. Do come and explore this place. Students cannot come without teachers. People come with newly married couples and get blessings of guruji. People come here to get the names of newly born babies. Visit and enjoy.

Very nice place 😍😃 there is many temples in one place very very beautiful temple there is fair in April month We should visit this beautiful place 💗💗😍😍😌😌

I stayed there on 13th January 2025. I had to stay for 20 days but I left the hotel very next day reason being a sardar ji at reception booked my room atRs 2900 plus GST for single occupancy and and provide me the room at AFC which was like servant quarter. The flush of the bathroom was not working. Room was below standard. Lights and mobile charging points were not sufficient. Food quality was very poor. The behaviour and way of talking of young sardar was very rude. Hospitality of the young sardar I remember Balbir Singh was below standard. I talked to the GM but no one was helpful. I passed one night any way and shifted to elsewhere. Hope you all never try to stay there.

As a seasoned sales professional who spends over 18 days a month in hotels across India, I rarely feel the need to leave negative reviews—but my experience at this hotel in Gurdaspur was truly unacceptable. Before booking, I checked several reviews on MMT and Google Maps. Despite noticing some negative ratings, I decided to call the hotel directly to inquire about the availability of a twin-bed room. The person who answered the call was surprisingly rude and dismissive, telling me he would call back—but I never received a response. After waiting for over an hour, I called again. This time, the staff claimed there were no twin-bed rooms available but offered me a deluxe room for ₹3,300, even though the same room was available online for ₹2,950 on MMT. I chose not to book online due to my growing doubts and went to the hotel personally to check the room. To my surprise, the twin-bed room was very much available, but the same staff member now quoted a price nearly 1.5x higher than what he had previously committed. When I politely requested the earlier quoted price, he rudely declined and arrogantly stated, “This is a 3-star hotel, if you don’t like it, you can go somewhere else.” Such behavior is highly unprofessional and completely unacceptable. The manager present at the reception (a Sardar gentleman) was manipulative in his conversation and clearly disinterested in customer service. For such a large property, this kind of mismanagement is not just disappointing—it’s a loss to the brand and its owners. This experience forced me to leave Gurdaspur and travel to Amritsar for the night, as I found no reliable hotel options in Gurdaspur that evening. Strongly suggest avoiding this hotel if you value basic courtesy, transparent pricing, and professional conduct.

Absolutely terrible experience at this hotel! The geyser in the room gave me an electric shock, which was not only frightening but also a serious safety concern. The expenses were not worth it, considering the subpar amenities and lack of safety measures. Would not recommend to anyone.

WORST SERVICE EVER !!!!!!, no customer handling etiquette , ill mannered behaviour, negligence on customer order query. worst A.C environment in such a hot season. DONT SPOIL Ur Precious Family Time here

Dampness on ceiling. Stains on toilet seat. Stinky in the bathroom. That too for Rs. 3000 a night without breakfast. Not worth it. Please avoid this property Went again. They have renovated the property. But tv not working neither refrigerator. The only good thing is food which always draw me back. Maybe I will try another one next time

Very Nice Place, Extremely courteous Staff and stayed here for 3 days, Hotel team Took care of my cab driver , his stay and food so well, Excellent Overall food and Stay, Keep it up, Guys,

VERY BAD BEHAVIOUR OF THE STAFF . THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TALK AND THE NUMBER THEY GAVE IN GOOGLE HE SAY CALL ON THE NUMBER AFTER IF THEY DIDN'T PICK WE CALL HIM HE SPEAKS RUDE . I CALLED FOR 2 TIMES. HE SAID THE HOTEL WILL PICK THE PHONE THEY MUST BE BUSY WITH OTHERS AND THE RING IS GOING ON AFTER THAT ALSO HE SAYS LIKE THAT I DON'T LIKE THE WAY BEHAVIOUR OF THE PERSON . AFTER THAT I BOOKED ANY OTHER HOTEL.

Made-up religion that has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. Merza Ghlam Ahmed is one of the biggest liars in the history. His followers are so apathetic. I ask them to consider their leaders lies and convert to Islam, the true religion.

One of the signs of the advent of the promised Messaih(as) as described by The Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) was that he will be raised near a white minaret east of Damascus.In accordance with Divine Instructions the promised Messaih(as) laid the foundation stone of this minaret on Friday 13th, March 1903. In his life time it was raised to 6 feet, then due to lack of funds the work on the structure had to be suspended. It was resumed by the Khalifa-tul-Masih II by laying a brick again on 27th November, 1914. The structure was completed, in the cost of Rs. 5,963 (excluding the 6 feet of first phase) in early 1916. It has three stages, 92 steps and the total height is about 105 feet. The clock was fixed in 1933. The minaret was designed by Syed Abdul Rashid and supervision of the second phase of construction was carried out by Qazi Abdul Rahim Bhatti. In 1938-39, during the time of Khalifa-tul-Masih II, the minaret was coated with plaster of white marble. It was veneered with white marble slabs in the total cost of Rs. 8,021,35.51 in 1980-81 in the time of Khalifa-tul-Masih III. Qadian is situated to the east of Damascus and the white minaret is the sign of peace and proclaims the Advent of the Prince of Peace, The Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

ahmadiyya muslim people are very helpful

Reaching the height of 105 feet, the construction of Minarat-ul-Masih completed on December 1915. The total number of stairs of the minaret are 92 and there is a total of 211 names of companions which are engraved on it. This minaret has experienced more than a century of opposition and hostility to date, but its light continues to shine across the globe.

This grand war memorial and museum, built at a hefty cost of ₹300 crore, could have been worth every penny if it had drawn large crowds. Sadly, whether due to inadequate promotion or a lack of public enthusiasm for the monumental contributions of Punjab’s valiant warriors to India’s freedom struggle, it’s failing to pull in the visitors it deserves. They must tie-up with educational institutions so that younger generation can get a glimpse of the hefty price our warriors paid for the freedom we are enjoying today. The memorial’s architecture is nothing short of breathtaking. It currently houses six galleries, each offering an authentic glimpse into the lives of Punjab’s freedom fighters, alongside other notable Indian heroes, through cutting-edge audio-visual technology. Most galleries are sensor-activated—step inside, and the audio-video presentations kick off seamlessly. The statues are strikingly lifelike, rivaling those at Madame Tussauds, though crafted from materials other than wax. You’ll find vivid depictions of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who fearlessly took on the British, Udham Singh, who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by assassinating General Dyer in London, and the trio of Rajguru, Sukhdev, and Bhagat Singh, who took down General Saunders as he rode his motorcycle. Every detail is brought to life with remarkable realism. There’s also a movie theater screening shows every Saturday and Sunday. At ₹100 per person, the experience is well worth the price. The parking lot is impressively vast, the restrooms are spotless, and the spacious cafeteria serves up lassi, soft drinks, sandwiches, and patties at reasonable rates. While mobile phones are barred inside the galleries, you’re free to use them elsewhere—be it the open theater, sprawling lawns, or to snap the memorial’s stunning architecture for reels and photos. One glaring flaw, though: they only accept cash, no UPI. For a place boasting such advanced technology, this feels oddly out of step. They really ought to address this and bring payments into the modern age.

The museum is spread over a very large area and is very dedicatedly built with real looks like statues . On the ground floor it has mainly six galleries and the idea behind them is to explain the freedom struggle especially by the people of Punjab.one can get to know The work done by Maharaja Ranjeet Singh ji, the kuka movement ,the gadar party history, bhagat singh, jallianwallah bagh and much more. But the museum needs maintenance and publicity.

We can say it a must visit place in Jalandhar as the only other major tourist place after Devi Talab Mandir. Big ambience, nice statues and picture galleries with stories. One point less because a show was not conducted due to less crowds, and some people visited only for that show only. So it is good to confirm before visiting. We visited on Saturday. Also, it is difficult to get public transport. Auto took 250 INR to reach there. Ola etc cancelled the ride so many times. Some LCD etc were not working, it needed to be maintained properly. Pictures are not allowed inside.

Nice place to visit with Family and friends. Presently, they had 6 galleries. Fees - 100 for Adults, 50 for Kids 3-18 yrs and fee for toddlers.

As a government institution it’s an exceptional project , the artwork is amazing , the focus of the history narrative on Punjab makes it a more region specific narrative. However, if maintained it would be amazing. There is also lot of vacant space for more galleries and exhibits. Adequate parking. Acces from the highway is a little tricky .

Jai shree bawa lal dyal ji

Very peaceful temple. Devotees visiting here to get blessings of Baba g. One should visit their and attend lungar and kirtan, Shri Bawa Lal ji is one of the sacred place of Hindus to visit in Dhianpur, Punjab. The married couples were blessed with babies by the blessings of Babaji.,

Surreal place. Good atmosphere for praying. It is located in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab state. Very easily approachable through road. If you are planning to visit there, you will have to reach there before 10:00 PM and after 3:30 AM as the main door to the temple is kept closed between10:00 PM to 3:30 AM. You can stay overnight here in the rooms available in the temple premises itself and eat in the langar Hall. Parking with ample space is also right outside the TEMPLE which is paid parking. Even temple security is here which keeps vigil here night and day.

I visited this place after almost 15 years though I live just 30 KM away from here. Alot of things have been updated. Ample parking space is available here with people guiding what should be done and where to park. If the senior citizen could not walk upto temple then one can easily get a ticket from parking space and can get the vehicle to the nearby parking to the temple. But that space is very little. So plan accordingly. Washrooms are also available. Hygiene is not so good near by temple, this is one thing which is needed to focus on as a public also and trust also. Langar haal is also upgraded and alot of People can be accommodated at once. Darshan are available till 1215 PM max and then evening 4 PM so plan accordingly. Cars can come easily roads are OK OK not so good not so bad. Nearby market offers tea and snacks too. Langar haal will offer karhi and rice most of the times with chapati and sabzi. You have to collect and wash your own utensils after done. All in all very Nice experience.

I came here with my family. I saw that this temple is completely different from other temples. Unlike other temples, no Pandit sits here and cheats you in the name of getting you to perform puja. I liked the system of this temple very much.

Jai Bawa Lal Ji 🙏. One of the most religious place in Punjab. This place is full of positive vibes and mental peace 💕

Good and religious place to visit. Shri Bawa Lal Dayal Ji Maharaj born in a Town known Kasur, District Lahore, of Punjab Birthday celebrated as DOOJ/ DUTIYA In A.D. 1495, Shri Bawa Lal ji arrived at this place with Shri Dhiandasji, Shri Gurumukh Lal ji and Shri Kashi Ram ji the name ‘Dhianpur’ after the name of his disciple Dhiandas.

Beautifully built, but of course not looked after properly. Walking thru, you can travel back to the time it would’ve been built - the passion, the vision, its use, the grandeur. Kind of sad to see it in its current run down state. But it’s still a gorgeous building to visit and marvel at its majestic grand beauty. The watchman at the gates were very friendly, as were all the school staff. Beware: you can’t rock up and enter. Since it now operates as a school, due to safety concerns Entry is strictly by permission. Basically you need to know someone who can account for you.

Walk in visit not allowed. Have to obtain DM permission. Please contact Punjab Tourism Dev. Corporation site.

They don't let you go in anymore which is such a shame. It baffles me the policies the government puts in place where citizens of the country aren't allowed to visit it's treasures. Something for @sainik school and the administration of kapurthala to consider. We were asked at the gate to get permission from the DC office where they told us sorry, no permission given!

Nothing to see. They don’t allow anyone to enter.

The Jagatjit Palace has been converted to a Sainik School. The school has been in existence for around four odd decades and has produced some outstanding officer for the defence forces besides other walks of life. The Jagatjit Palace has lost much of its original splendor and is presently in a rather dilapidated condition. The museum has lost much of its sheen and the school building too is in need of repair. However the palace does provide a glimpse of the grandeur that it once boasted including the marvelously painted, etched and sculptured artifact's. The grounds are an excellent place to visit, albeit after seeking permission from the school authorities.

Unless you know someone in Sainik school you can't visit this place

This place is heaven for me. Just loved it

I recently visited the Partition Museum in Amritsar, and I really liked it. The museum is very informative and gives a deep insight into the history and emotions of the Partition of 1947. The displays, personal stories, and photographs are very moving and beautifully presented. It gives deep sense of emotions when we learn the sacrifices of the innocent made because of few people's greed, stubbornness and unplanned activity. Overall, it’s a must-visit place.

Great place to learn about partition, political scenario that led to it and its aftermath. There is lot of reading needed, wish there was more audio visual treatment. If you have time, do get an audio guide available at rs 100.

The partition museum is a place to visit while in Amritsar. It displays a lot of information and artefacts related to the Partition of erstwhile India into India and Pakistan. It is good place to visit if you are interested to know of the history related to partition.

This partition museum is about how the actual partition happened between India and Pakistan who fought together for independence but demanded different countries for different religions The Partition Museum is a public museum located in the town hall of Amritsar, Punjab, India.[1] The museum aims to become the central repository of stories, materials, and documents related to the post-partition riots that followed the division of British India into two independent dominions: India and Pakistan. The museum also focuses on the history of the “anti-colonial movement, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the Komagata Maru incident, the All India Muslim League and the Indian National Congress, and the journey of resilience and recuperation for women”.The building wherein the museum is located in Amritsar was also “once the British headquarters and a jail”. The museum was inaugurated on 25 August 2017. Punjab In 1947, British India was divided into India and Pakistan. The partition lines, drawn on a map by the British lawyer Cyril Radcliffe, divided the province of Punjab and Bengal into two parts on the basis of religion. As a result, millions of people found themselves on the wrong side of the border overnight. According to various estimates, more than 800,000 Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs were killed in the riots that followed the partition between August 1947 to January 1948. Additionally, more than 1,400,000 people became refugees.

The Partition Museum, located in Amritsar, Punjab, is a unique and deeply moving institution dedicated to the memory of the 1947 Partition of India. It's the first of its kind in the world, serving as a powerful memorial and a central repository for the stories, artifacts, and documents from that tumultuous period. A "People's Museum" The museum's core mission is to tell the human stories of the Partition. Instead of focusing solely on political events, it highlights the experiences of the millions of people who were displaced, lost their homes, and endured immense suffering. The museum's collection is built largely on oral histories and personal artifacts donated by survivors and their families—things like clothes, utensils, and letters that people carried with them as they fled their homes. Location and Exhibits The museum is housed in the historic Town Hall building in Amritsar, a fitting location given the city's close proximity to the India-Pakistan border and its central role in the events of 1947. The exhibits are arranged chronologically, taking visitors through the events that led up to the Partition, the mass migration and violence that followed, and the subsequent efforts of rehabilitation and resettlement. Through photographs, videos, audio recordings, and personal belongings, the museum creates a powerful and often heartbreaking narrative. Why It's Important The Partition was one of the largest mass migrations in human history, with millions of people displaced and an estimated one to two million killed. For decades, there was no dedicated memorial or museum to commemorate this event. The Partition Museum fills this void, ensuring that the stories of the survivors and the legacy of this historical event are not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of the human cost of political decisions and the resilience of those who rebuilt their lives after such a profound upheaval.

Very beautiful and well managed. They provide audiotours so you don’t have to worry if you know about history or not. It gives goosebumps while going through and getting to know things. 1-1.30 hrs is enough. No photography allowed inside. Ticlets are proced at Rs. 10. The theme is; as the name suggests- partition, what led to the partition and the aftermath! Do visit, it’s near Golden Temple Complex only. Closed on Monday.

Each display, photograph, and written description helps you understand the magnitude of what happened here.

In my opinion, Jallianwala Bagh is a must-visit landmark for every Indian. It’s not only a place to see but a place to feel. You leave with a deeper understanding of our freedom struggle and immense respect for the martyrs who sacrificed everything. Highly recommended for students, families, and anyone visiting Amritsar.

Beautiful, humbling place. There was so much to experience from the Golden temple to the jora service to the langar service to the gold sewa workshop. The museums on-site are also there to serve as a reminder of the resilience that Sikhs have had to have to survive and become a large community. There are many gurudwaras and soravars (lakes) on-site to take amrat as well. To be able to sit under the trees that some of the Gurus had done so was also wonderful. A beautiful place to visit.

Visiting Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, was a truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment you step inside, the positive energy of the place surrounds you completely. The sight of the golden structure reflecting on the holy water is absolutely breathtaking, it feels serene and spiritual in every sense. The seva done by volunteers, from helping visitors to preparing and serving food in the langar, is truly inspiring. The langar experience itself is something everyone should have at least once, pure, and full of devotion. The entire temple complex is extremely well-maintained, clean, and beautifully organized despite the huge crowds. The pathway around the sarovar is peaceful for sitting or walking, especially in the early morning or late evening when the lighting makes it look magical.

Sri Akal Takht Sahib was built by Guru Hargobind Sahib with the help of Baba Buddha Ji and Bhai Gurdas Ji. The nine feet tall concrete slab was revealed by Guru Hargobind on June 15, 1606, when he wore two swords, the Miri and the Piri, which indicate his temporal and religious authority, respectively. Every year on July 2 the Sikh community across the globe honours the establishment of Sri Akal Takht Sahib. It is one of five takhts (seats) of the Sikhs which is considered to be the first and most important Takht situated in Amritsar. Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth Guru of the religion, laid the foundation of this platform inside the Golden Temple complex🙏

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 🙏

Akal Takht is the highest temporal seat of authority in Sikhism, established by Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji (6th Guru) in 1606 in Amritsar, opposite the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple). It was built to represent the Guru’s temporal authority alongside spiritual guidance. The Akal Takht served as the center for justice, decision-making, and Sikh governance

The Dharamshala was good, but something I didn't like was the Khatmal on the beds, I couldn't sleep the whole night and had to change the room the next day. My visit was pretty good besides the room issue. There is a restaurant near Dharmashala and a sweet shop as well. The restaurant is just a few steps away from the Dharamshala and its Chhole Bhature prepared from Desi Ghee. The taste and everything is undefined. The purity, my experience was the best about the food and other shops. It's worth the time and money. It is affordable, no offence. I recommend the Rasmalai and chhole bhature! Whenever you go to Amritsar or visit The Golden Temple, make sure you grab a bite of these. May Guru Nanak Ji Bless You!

Durgiana Temple is a famous Hindu temple located in Amritsar, in an Indian state called Punjab. This temple was built in the honour of Goddess Durga, hence the name Durgiana Temple. You can also find the idols of Lord Vishnu, who is known as the protector of the world and Goddess Lakshmi who is known as the goddess of wealth in this temple. The architecture style of the Durgiana Temple is similar to the style of the Golden Temple which is a Gurudwara located in the same city. Both temples hold an equal amount of importance in the city in terms of worship. The Durgiana Temple is also known as Sitla Mandir, Lakshmi Narayan Temple and Durga Tirath temple amongst the locals in Punjab. According to Hindu mythology, many incidences took place in this temple wherein one incidence Lava and Kusha (Children of Lord Rama) tied Lord Hanuman to a tree in the temple as a challenge. And in another incidence, it is said that the grandson of Lord Surya, Iksvaku, had performed a number of yagyas in the same area. Therefore, according to Hindu Mythology, the land of Durgiana Temple is considered as a holy land. Since the Durgiana Temple is built in the middle of the sacred lake, it is said that the temple holds holy power which helps people with their problems. Since there are many temples located in the city of Amritsar, it is the best city to be in the list of your pilgrimage tours. It is a brilliantly built temple.

I love this place this place is so cool I love it

To be honest I was quite disappointed with the whole experience. The ticket prices are little high for what they offer. The Bhangra troupe was excellent. Apart from that, everything else was sub par I would say. Especially the hyped 7DX show. I have seen way more immersive and better shows in theme parks. Overall I would say, if you have the time and money to spend and really really want to explore something new, then only visit the place.

The fort is quite good - clean, maintained. They have some activities which can take some time (short movie, a pmpagdi/turban museum & some activities lined through +food & shopping).. Overall ~2 hours (minimum) to peacefully roam around the place.

Visiting Gobindgarh Fort was an exciting blend of history and technology. The 7D show brought the glorious past of Maharaja Ranjit Singh to life in a thrilling way. The museum, live performances, and cultural exhibits made the experience unforgettable. A perfect mix of heritage, entertainment, and pride in Punjab’s rich legacy

A fort of historical significance, but suffers low maintenance and inadequate patronage. There is a Pagdi museum, good Bhangra performance and a 7D movie show on Maharaja Ranjit Singh which would be liked by the Children (different going that the glitches in movie visuals have gotten fixed by now). Tickets cost about 350 per adult and it is recommended to visit in the evening. A battery cart (chargeable) takes visitors from the ticket counter to fort location, which is about a 500m walk otherwise. Though there are eateries, I could not venture to try them.

We really enjoyed visiting this fort. But we were surprised for entrance fee for foreigners 700 INR! Including is 20 min.long 7D movie about Maharaja. It’s very overpriced. At least we made nice photos there.

It's an interesting and huge fort. As foreigners, we paid 250 Indian Rupees per person as entrance fee. There were not a lot of visitors.

Nice place. Awesome 7D show. Must watch. Beautiful dance performances of bhangra in open amphitheatre. Very informative Pagri museum.
