Punjab is one of the 29 states of the country and lies in the north western part of India. It is often regarded as the ‘land of five rivers’. Immensely fertile, the land of Punjab is ranked high amongst the ancient civilizations of the world. It is also known for the several religious movements that were conducted here and the regional diversities that are very well prominent even now. The rich cultural history, scenic landscape and the renowned religious sites are some of the many reasons for you to plan a trip to Punjab. The bordering states of Haryana and Punjab were typically carved from the Indian half of Punjab post the partition. Ever since then, Punjab has grown over the years. Homeland to the humble and amazingly welcoming Sikh community, Punjab is a green Indian state. Embellished with the blazing gurudwaras (Sikh Temples) including the much popular Golden Temple of Amritsar, Punjab has become a prominent tourist spot amongst the travelers. Loved dearly for its authentic Punjabi cuisines – butter chicken, tandoor chicken, chicken tikka masala and tadka dhal, food here is indeed one major reason why tourists from across the world are driven towards this beautiful Indian state.
