Amritsar is a city rich in history, spirituality and culture. On arrival transfer to hotel. Later go for half-day tour of Amritsar – Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, Partition Museum, Durgiana Temple and in the evening visit its vibrant local market for shopping.

After breakfast we will go for a day excursion to Bharmour, the ancient capital of Chamba — just like Naggar for Kullu Valley. Located at nearly 7000 feet in Budhil Valley, Bharmour, for a visitor, has everything — from scenic beauty to ancient temples to a rich (and quite preserved because of low tourist inflow compared to other places in Himachal) culture. The town lies between the Pir-Panjal and the Dhauladhar ranges of the Himalayas and between Ravi Valley and Chenab Valley. About landscapes and vibe, in Budhil Valley in general, you will find abundant alpine pastures with a lot of Gaddis (or Shephard) making their way from Chamba to Lahaul, or vice-versa. The local tour of Bharmour includes Chaurasi Temple, Kugti Village (subject to road condition), Bharmani Mata Temple, Hadsar Waterfall, Ghared Waterfall, Kaksen Waterfall and Bhagsen Waterfall.
