After Panipat, since road widening works are in progress, there are many diversions, but nothing to worry. Details are here.

Wow. your thread diverted my mind totally from my Delhi-Amritsar trip.It feels as if i am going for a evening walk. Thanks i still have to go through your thread in detail.
Thanks again

Hi all we are planning to do a drive down to Amritsar in our BMW X3 that is my Mom, dad,me and my grandparents. Now I wish to to know, is the route good enough for us to complete the journey in one day? With our grandparents? How much time should it take? Is an overnight stop required?

Hi CarLoverJosh.

With regards to your query, one can easily complete Delhi - Amritsar in a day at a decent speed. It is a total of 450 Kms.
Delhi-Ambala - 200.
Ambala - Amritsar - 250.

The route that you can follow is : Delhi - Panipat - Ambala - Ludhiana - Jalandhar - Amritsar. Barring a few patches in between, the route is very good. You can expect to reach your destination in a maximum of 10 hours.
Cheers.

Thanks. I am planning to do this on 28th Aug morning. This help will come in handy. Is there a detailed thread on this trip?

I did Amritsar this weekend (18 – 19 Feb), my third drive to the place in 3 years. The route is fantastic now, with Delhi – Panipat – Ambala – Ludhiana – Jalandhar being butter smooth. The only places you'll slow down is 2 spots within Ludhiana city, and 2 spots between Jalandhar and Amritsar. With one meal stop, easily doable in 7 to 7.5 hours.
