Hotels in Punjab, India

Punjab stretches across northern India and Pakistan, with scorching summers reaching 104°F (40°C) and mild winters around 50°F (10°C). It's famous for Amritsar's Golden Temple, the holiest Sikh shrine, where you can volunteer at the free community kitchen serving thousands daily. Winter (November to March) is best for exploring the temple complex and eating street food like chole bhature, while summer's heat means cheaper stays and fewer crowds at the Wagah border ceremony.
