Visiting GOLDEN TEMPLE in Amritsar + Eating INDIAN FOOD in WORLD’S BIGGEST KITCHEN w/ 100000 People!

In our latest India travel video we’ll be visiting the Golden Temple in Amritsar and eating indian food in the world’s biggest kitchen! The Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, happens to feed around 100,000 thousand visitors EVERY SINGLE DAY! And get this, the food is FREE! This community kitchen is known as a ‘langar’ and it’s a place where everyone is welcome to eat regardless of gender, caste or religion.

The kitchen in the Golden Temple never closes and it is run by countless volunteers who devote their time to cook, serve, and clean for visitors who pass through at every hour of the day. I had visited Amritsar’s Golden Temple once before on my very first trip to India over 10 years ago, but this time around, I was joined by Deepak from Amritsar Walking Tours.
Having him as a guide allowed me to experience the Golden Temple in a completely different way, and it was a day I won’t soon forget. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s kick off this video!
Visiting GOLDEN TEMPLE in Amritsar + Eating INDIAN FOOD in WORLD’S BIGGEST KITCHEN w/ 100000 People!
Having an opportunity to revisit the Golden Temple, also known as Harmandir Sahib, was one of the top highlights of my recent trip to India. If I had to compare my impressions visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Golden Temple in Amritsar, I would say my visit to Harmandir Sahib moved me emotionally more than visiting one of the true marvels of India.
There is just an energy at the Golden Temple that is hard to describe. The fact that everyone is welcome regardless of race, class or caste is what allows you to feel your ego disappearing. You feel connected with everyone visiting - especially when you sit down for a meal together.
