If you are planning to visit Golden Temple in summers then we would recommend for early morning darshan somewhere around 4:30 am which is also the best time.

The Darshan will take minimum 2 hours because you will have to stand in a queue but the best part is, no one can push you from behind, and all are calm and steady waiting for their turn for darshan. If you are a kind of person wishes to avoid getting into endless queues, then an early morning visit at 4 AM or late at night would be advisable.
