Deriving its name from five full-bodied rivers–Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Jhelum, and Chenab–which flow through its vast plains, Punjab is representative of abundant things. Widely acknowledged as the cradle of civilization, it is a land of ethnic and religious diversity, having borne and shaped a number of religious movements that include Sikhism, Buddhism and Sufism.
The fertile land of farms and forts, Punjab has been aptly nicknamed the 'Smiling Soul of India' where you will always see smiles on the faces of the inhabitants who take pride in their religion and culture.
There are many Forts in the state that tell the tale of the land's past. The Golden Temple, The Wagah border, The Jallianwala Bagh, The Sheesh Mahal are some of the major tourist attractions in Punjab. The list becomes endless as every street of Punjab is an attraction in itself; each region of Punjab has a different story and unique beauty hidden inside it.
The three primary seasons witnessed across Punjab include Summer, Monsoon, and Winter. The summer season in Punjab provides a sultry atmosphere while the monsoon season eases off the climate with its heavy precipitation. However, the pleasant and welcoming weather of the winter season makes it the best time of the year to tour Punjab.
