Punjab, located in the north western part of India, is one of the smallest and the most prosperous states of India. The five rivers Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum gave it its name 'punj-ab' or the 'land of five waters'. These five rivers divide the state into three regions: Majha, Doaba and Malwa.

It is the second most preferred state in north India for holidays, leisure and recreation. Further, it also experiences tourist arrivals from various parts of the world like United Kingdom, United States, Canada, European Countries etc.

Punjab attained 7th Position at National Level in receiving Foreign Tourist Visits during 2017-18.

A land sanctified by saints and gurus and scarred by wars, Punjab forms an ideal tourist destination for people fascinated by culture, heritage and spirituality. The State has a strong infrastructure for tourism by having international airports and one of the best rail and road connectivity in the country.
