Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2026 4:59 pm
Great road trip choice NH44 is well-maintained and very driveable.
Distance: ~450 km | Drive time: 7–8 hrs without heavy stops
Recommended stops en route:
Karnal (~130 km): Breakfast break, famous for dairy sweets
Ambala (~200 km): Fuel + stretch legs
Ludhiana or bypass (~350 km): Lunch if you're not pushing straight through
Must-do in Amritsar:
Golden Temple (early morning visit — magical)
Wagah Border ceremony (time it for 4:30 PM)
Punjabi dinner at Kesar Da Dhaba or Brothers Dhaba
For groups of 10–12, leave Delhi by 5–6 AM to avoid city traffic and reach Amritsar comfortably by afternoon.
Budget roughly ₹4,000–5,000/day for fuel on this route.
Booking a tempo traveller in Delhi for this trip keeps the group together, halts flexible, and costs far less than coordinating multiple Innova cabs.
