Flag lowering ceremony

Located right on Pak-India border, at a distance of 30 kilometers away from Lahore, capital city of the Punjab, PTDC’s motel at Wagha serves day and night as an important transit and entry point for tourists and passengers traveling on both sides of the border. Apart from comfortable rooms, the motel comprises of sitting room, TV lounge and a restaurant.
The motel has assumed greater importance since commencement of Bus Service between Pakistan and India. It has the honour of being host to passengers commuting through the bus.
An enchanting feature is the Flag lowering ceremony held daily in the evening presenting a pageantry of march past. The motel offers facilities like TV, telephone, and laundry. While traveling in and around Lahore, Wagha is an important place of interest and should not be missed out of your itinerary

Wagha border is a spectacle. Both Indians and |Pakistanis waving at each other, dancing, singing.Maybe the special ambience i enjoyed was due to the recent reopening of the border for buses, but it was very emotional.I personally think that the government policies are one thing and the people feelings are another.
In any case it,s a must if u r in Lahore
