Will networks cope at the Wagah border ceremony?

Coverage is there, but the large evening crowds can congest the network, slowing data right when everyone's messaging. Screenshot your timings and driver details in advance so you're not stuck waiting for pages to load.

Does one eSIM cover Punjab and nearby Himachal or Delhi?

Yes. It's the national India plan, so a single eSIM works across Punjab and continues into Himachal, Chandigarh or Delhi, handy if Amritsar is one stop on a wider northern loop.

Good to know in Punjab

The Wagah border ceremony packs in huge crowds each evening and mobile networks can congest, so screenshot your timings, seating and driver details beforehand rather than counting on live data in the throng.

Best time to visit Punjab

October to March offers cool, pleasant weather ideal for the Golden Temple and Wagah; summers are scorching and the monsoon humid across the flat plains.

Two simple ways to buy

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Punjab eSIM: your local data guide.

Punjab centres on Amritsar's radiant Golden Temple and langar, the flag-lowering theatre at the Wagah border, the royal city of Patiala and the Sikh heritage of Anandpur Sahib. A Punjab eSIM connects you on arrival, so you can time a dawn visit to Harmandir Sahib, book cabs between cities and navigate the farm-country highways across the fertile plains.

One eSIM for Punjab and all of India. It's the national India eSIM — from $7.28/day with unlimited data, working the same in Punjab as it does the moment you leave it.
