From Amritsar you'll first reach Delhi or another international hub, then fly on to Beijing. The most common one-stop options route via Delhi (IndiGo or Air India feeder), then onward on Air China or via Hong Kong/Guangzhou on Cathay Pacific or a Chinese carrier. Delhi is the practical gateway — ATQ–DEL is a 60–75 minute hop with many daily flights. Direct India–Beijing services are limited, so most itineraries involve a single connection. Book on one ticket where possible so the international transfer and bags are handled for you.
Delhi is the workhorse first stop from Amritsar, with frequent feeders and onward links toward China. From there, the cleanest single-connection routings to PEK go via a Chinese hub such as Guangzhou or Shanghai on carriers like Air China, or via Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. Allow a generous 3–4 hour layover for the international transfer, immigration formalities and terminal changes. Note that connecting through mainland Chinese hubs may have transit-visa implications, so confirm your routing's requirements before you commit to the ticket.
Most flights land at Beijing Capital International (PEK), about 32 km northeast of the centre, though some use the newer Daxing (PKX) much further south — check which one your ticket shows. From PEK, the Capital Airport Express train links to the metro in around 25 minutes; a taxi to downtown costs roughly CNY 90–130 and takes 40–60 minutes. Beijing's metro is extensive and cheap. From the city, the Great Wall sections at Mutianyu or Badaling are 1.5–2 hours away by road — a must-do day trip.
Air China and Cathay Pacific economy typically include 23–30 kg checked on these routes; IndiGo's feeder leg may only allow 15 kg domestically, so verify the through-allowance if booking separately. Round-trip economy from Amritsar via a hub commonly sits in the higher ranges given the connection and distance — budget accordingly and compare via-Delhi versus via-Hong Kong pricing. Watch fare classes that exclude checked baggage. Booking 6–10 weeks ahead generally secures better economy buckets on the long China sectors.
Beijing's most pleasant seasons are April–May and September–October, with mild temperatures and clear skies — ideal for the Great Wall and Forbidden City, and also the peak travel period. For cheaper fares, target March, May shoulder weeks and November, avoiding the harsh January–February winter (well below freezing) and the humid July–August summer. Crucially, avoid Chinese Golden Week in early October and the Lunar New Year period, when domestic travel surges and fares and crowds spike across China.
Beijing offers a heavyweight bucket-list: the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace. For travellers from Punjab, it's a culturally rich, history-dense capital that pairs well with a wider China or East Asia itinerary. Indian restaurants exist but are limited outside major hotel areas, so vegetarians should plan and carry a translation app, as English signage is patchy. Allow 3–4 days for the core sights, and consider adding Xi'an or Shanghai by high-speed rail.
Indian passport holders must obtain a China tourist visa (type L) in advance — there is no visa-on-arrival for tourism. Apply through the Chinese visa application centre with your itinerary, hotel bookings, return flights and bank statements; processing typically takes about a week, so start at least 2–3 weeks before travel. Some short transit-visa-free schemes exist at certain Chinese cities but conditions are strict — don't rely on them for a Beijing visit. See our visa guide for the current China requirements.
