Punjab, the land of five rivers, is full of rich culture, delicious food, and friendly people. My trip to this northern state of India was amazing, filled with experiences I’ll never forget.
When I arrived in Amritsar, the city’s main attraction, the Golden Temple, left me in awe. This famous Sikh temple, with its shining gold exterior and peaceful pond, is a place of calm in the busy city.
Traveling through the countryside, I saw the vast green fields of Punjab, known as India’s food basket. The sight of endless wheat and mustard fields was beautiful. I stayed in a village homestay in Jalandhar and experienced the simple and welcoming village life, which was a refreshing break from city life.
No trip to Punjab is complete without trying its tasty food. From creamy butter chicken and spicy mustard greens to sweet jalebi, every dish was a treat. The food, rich with ghee and love, was a delicious part of Punjab’s food culture. I also tried corn flatbread with fresh white butter, a common dish in Punjabi homes.
Punjab’s festivals, especially Baisakhi, made my trip even more special. Watching the energetic Bhangra and Gidda dances, performed to drum beats, was a joyful experience that showed the state’s love for life.
Overall, traveling through Punjab was a journey through a place where every part tells stories of bravery, tradition, and joy. Whether it was the peaceful gurudwaras, the tasty food, or the warm hospitality of the people, Punjab left a lasting impression on my travel memories.
