    by WAHEEDASLAM
    The Pakistan-Indian border is 29 km(18 miles) from Lahore along the Grand Trunk Road at Wagah. The daily flag ceremonies, raising in the morning and lowering 30 minutes before sunset, are solemn and colourful in true tradition, with the Pakistani & Indian soldiers vying for militry perfetion and a lone bugler playing the haunting Last Post.
    TDCP runs sightseeing tours from Lahore to attend the eveing ceremony, charging about US $4-5. There is always house-full scene there. The Wagah border crossing is now open daily between 9am-4pm for foreign tourist. Check in Lahore for latest information. To cross into India you need valid travel documents, health certificates and patience:allow at least two hours to negociate the numerous officials & forms. In normal conditions you can easily take a bus, minibus, or taxi to the border, walk across 500 meters of no-man's land(porters are available to carry your baggge) and take bus or taxi from the other side to Amritsar.

    Wagha Border...: Let them know if you're a foreigner

  • I went to the Indian/Pakistan border to see the flag ceremony they do daily at about 4:30/5:00 (or at least while I was there). You want to get there early and expect a mad dash to the front when the gates open. While I didn't know to tell them I was there, the guards saw me and took me to THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE. As you can tell, I got close! It's a great experience to see everyone there with such pride for their country (and loathing for another if you prefer to see those sorts of things......kidding) Don't go on a Sunday! It's PACKED

    Wagha Border...: The Wagah Border

  • Visit the opening and closing of the gates, the bringing down of the flags and all round banter from the crowds. On the Pakistan side the people chant nationalistic and religious songs.

    Get to the crossing early about 10 am, from lahore defence cost is 800 pak rs in aircon toyota corolla 40 minutes travel time. Avoiding the mad rush when the friendship bus gets there.

    Don't pay anyone at the Indian side behind immigration counter, they come up with ' you are our first customer'! Crossing normally takes 30minutes if you got no bags. If your going to Dehli via amristar airport go by jetairways.com very cheap flights, approx 3000 rs getting there takes 30 minutes by car costs about 700 indian rs, tell the driver to take it easy. If you need to get currency do it on the crossing but only change the minimum amount required. enquire422@yahoo.com
