The best way to reach Amritsar from New Delhi is Via Jalandhar.This is the route i followed and i shall be detailing it here.
There is lot of bus service, as i understand from new delhi to jalandhar.
There is a A.C bus service from ISBT terminal 9-10 booth to jalandhar.
Bus starts at 9.10 am. morning
cost of ticket : 420 rupees.
Reaches at abt 6.30-7 pm.
NO PROS ONLY CONS.
I suggest you to NOT TAKE THIS BUS SERVICE.. As i saw the driver was deliberatley delaying the bus , driving slowly. may be he gets extra money for overtime or may be to let private buses take the customers before reaching there ahead of the Punbus.
stil if you dont have an option , take it till Ambala cant... i believe they will give you ticket for Ambala Cant. too,
From ambala Cant. take some other bus/ train.
Bus Stand and Train Station at Ambala Cant. are oposite each other.
Already mentioned abt a bus service to Chandigarh from delhi of Haryana Roadways on this blog only. starts at 9.50 am., saame point.Though it was also somewat slow.
So i believe these are deliberate delays.
At jalandhar , you should drop down at PAP CHOWK.
and crossing the road, you wiul find bus service to amritsar.
From jalandhar (PAP CHWK)-Amritsar journey time is 1.30 hrs.
cost from jalandhar-amritsar Rs 60 (new revised rates as on 28 december 2010)
If you decide to take the bus journey from jalandhar bus station instead, add about 45min to an hour more,since because of construction there are jams and diversions.
So those using Jalandhar as connecting point for reaching Amritsar should preferrably drop down at PAP CHOWK and get a bus from there and not from jalandhar bus stand.
