Amritsar is a large city in north-west India, with a population of 1,451,748. It is served by Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, also known by its airport code, ATQ.
There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Amritsar, so the city is not a beach destination. Travellers should plan around its urban and cultural attractions instead, with generally hot summers, a monsoon season and cooler winters typical of northern India.
