Overview

India, Punjab and Haryana

These two regions in the northwest of the country are also called "the breadbasket of the Indian Union", thanks to their fertile soils. They have contrastingly rich historical sites. While Punjab suffered from its split between India and Pakistan, Haryana is peaceful and the Sikh religious community welcomes tourists with amazing friendliness and tolerance.

pros

  •  Both States are close to Pakistan in the west and the Himalayas in the north.
  •  Punjab is the cradle of the nation of Sikh, known for its friendliness.

cons

  •  The local political situation between Sikhs and Hindus is unstable.
  •  Punjab and Haryana have very few historical and architectural sites.
