Amritsar is home to the spectacular Golden Temple; a place of great beauty and sublime peacefulness. Apart from this, it is also home to food gold as the many streets surrounding the Golden Temple serve lip-smacking food (both veg and non-veg).

Take a Mini Break in Goa

#MiniBreak3

Goa needs no special introduction. Laid-back travellers can enjoy soulful music on white-sand beaches and unwind at a shack with their choice of beverage. For those who are always on-the-go, rent a scooty/open jeep and drive past Goa’s narrow picturesque bylanes and feel the breeze on your face.

Pro Tip: Do Para sailing on Baga Beach.
