Being a South Indian I never got a chance to visit north India until this Amritsar trip, so after a family trip I took a diversion and caught bus from Jaipur to Amritsar. I was staying in Madpackers hostel where I made made lot of friends - from then I didn’t have to turn back it ended up like a group trip with lot of friends.
