Cycle for Health Zone

The government has taken some firm steps to promote biking as an exercise in Amritsar. A 2 km long cycle track near the Trillium Mall is one of the first tracks to be built for bikers in the city. The beautiful pink stretch is lined by trees and offers cyclists a green patch in the middle of the city to exercise their limbs.
