Your expert’s note
The two Palki Sahib processions - in at dawn and out at night - are what to time your visit around, and both shift by about an hour between summer and winter. Scarves are handed out free at the entrance if you have not brought one, and the langar serves at almost all hours, so a late-night visit is usually the least crowded.
