In the holy city
A small home in a very big city.
Amritsar is a city of Gurudwaras, langar kitchens, painted ceilings and ancient doorways. Backpacker's Nest sits inside it — minutes from the Golden Temple's marble parikrama, the bustle of Hall Bazaar and the quiet corners where the old city still lives.
