Plan my Amritsar trip

Getting to Amritsar

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Delhi → Amritsar

train · 6h

₹800

1 way / person

Delhi → Amritsar

flight · 1.5h

₹4,500

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Amritsar by train. Return for two works out to about ₹3,200 — so a whole trip lands near ₹8,557 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Amritsar's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
