The city of God’s over­flow­ing nec­tar -Am­rit­sar and the city of the iconic Eif­fel Tower -Paris, both vis­ited by Har­jin­der Singh Kukreja -the world trav­eller with his heart in the right place, find a unique men­tion in the Forbes List of af­ford­able des­ti­na­tions from across the world. Har­jin­der Singh Kukreja is the only Sikh and In­dian to make it to the Forbes list­ing. Re­mark­ably, Am­rit­sar -the city of the Golden Tem­ple is the only In­dian city to make it to the list of “27 Best Bud­get Travel Des­ti­na­tions for 2018”.

“It is in­deed an ho­n­our for the young Sikh as it is to the Sikh com­mu­nity for his tweets and work as a world trav­eller have been ap­pre­ci­ated and rec­og­nized by a men­tion in the Forbes List. He is the only one in the list who has rec­om­mended not one but two, fam­ily tourist des­ti­na­tions -Am­rit­sar and Paris.”

It is won­drous that vis­i­tors to Am­rit­sar -to the Mecca and Vat­i­can of the Sikhs -the Golden Tem­ple sees a phe­nom­e­nal in­crease year af­ter year. This num­ber is not of Sikhs alone, thou­sands of friends of Sikhs and those who ad­mire the sim­plic­ity of the Sikh re­li­gion and the serene and spir­i­tual at­mos­phere of Dar­bar Sahib make a bee­line round the clock to Dar­bar Sahib and the Guru Ka Lan­gar where more than a hun­dred thou­sand peo­ple par­take food day and night. 

Writ­ing in the Forbes List on the ba­sis of sug­ges­tions from widely trav­elled blog­gers, Alexan­dra Tatly says, “World trav­eller, choco­late en­thu­si­ast and Sikh ac­tivist Har­jin­der Singh Kukreja jets around the globe with his fam­ily of four.” She says that “Home to the Har­mandir Sahib, or Golden Tem­ple, Am­rit­sar is an im­por­tant spir­i­tual and pil­grim­age cen­tre of the Sikh re­li­gion.  The north-west­ern In­dian city also boasts or­nate ar­chi­tec­ture and a peek into the painful his­tory of British col­o­niza­tion. Al­though the city wel­comes thou­sands of tourists a day, there are plenty of op­tions for bud­get-minded trav­ellers.”

As re­gards Paris she says, “Al­though many trav­ellers con­sider France to be a not-so cheap coun­try, it is pos­si­ble to visit the city of lights on a bud­get.” The French em­bassies in the US and other places have retweeted the Forbes post.

“The next two cities that I will be high­light­ing as fam­ily des­ti­na­tions are Lon­don and Birm­ing­ham and I shall shortly be go­ing to these two cities in De­cem­ber. My visit to Britain is hosted and spon­sored by Visit Britain.”

My visit to Britain is hosted and spon­sored by Visit Britain, said Har­jin­der Singh Kukreja while speak­ing ex­clu­sively to World Sikh News. “I am happy to do my hum­ble con­tri­bu­tion in pop­u­lar­is­ing the best places in the world as well as cre­ate aware­ness about the good­ness of the Sikh peo­ple.”
