Hi, guys! In this video, we are taking you on a journey to the vibrant city of Amritsar located in the state of Punjab, in northern India.
Our adventure started as soon as we arrived at the Hyatt Regency Amritsar, where the staff warmly welcomed us with drinks and bindis!
After a quick check-in, we hurried upstairs to freshen up before dinner. We were beyond happy to see clean, spacious, elegant rooms that had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The girls even named their room the "Teen Hub."
In India, we had the pleasure to stay in awesome hotels, and we were excited to start exploring this one and see what it had to offer besides the comfortable rooms and the cool view! Hyatt Regency Amritsar did not disappoint! From the awesome pool to the incredible spa and fitness center, we were really impressed with our home away from home!
But before we go any further, let's talk about the app that keeps all our travels fun and enjoyable!
We present to you Geocaching and their Adventure Lab!
Geocaching is a great way to make traveling more fun and exciting. It adds an extra layer of adventure to our journey and takes us to places we might not have otherwise discovered. By using GPS coordinates and clues, geocaching encourages us to explore new areas and experience different cultures. Their Adventure Lab is a virtual treasure hunt where participants solve puzzles and answer questions at various locations, all while exploring the city.
One of the biggest advantages of geocaching is that it is a low-cost activity that can be done almost anywhere in the world. All you need is a GPS-enabled device, such as a smartphone, and access to the internet to search for caches in the area.

For dinner, we enjoyed a traditional Amritsar Thali, which consisted of various dishes, including butter chicken, chana masala, and dal makhani, served with rice, naan, and papad. The food was flavorful, and we savored every bite. The next day, we indulged in more delicious food for breakfast, including dosas, omelets, and fresh fruits.
One of our most moving experiences in Amritsar was visiting the Jallianwala Bagh Memorial. This public garden houses a memorial of national importance, established in memory of the hundreds of unarmed and innocent people killed or wounded when British troops fired on them on April 13, 1919. The memorial serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by India's forefathers for the country's independence.
No visit to Amritsar is complete without the Golden Temple, a sacred Sikh shrine located in the heart of the city. The temple is an architectural marvel made of gold and marble, surrounded by a pool of water that reflects its beauty. One of the coolest things on this trip was seeing the massive community kitchen, where volunteers prepare and serve food to over 100,000 visitors and devotees every day.
We also gave a special offering on behalf of our New Zealand friend and witnessed the enormous queue of people waiting to see the holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, which is kept inside the temple and is considered the ultimate spiritual authority for the Sikh religion.
After the Golden Temple, we walked a bit through Old Town Amritsar, which was full of narrow lanes, old buildings, and bustling markets.
But our adventure in Amritsar didn’t end there. We ended up going to the famous Wagah border, where 60,000 people gather every single day for a ceremony between the Pakistan and India border. Stay tuned for this and more in our next video, and don’t forget to share and subscribe!
