Worth the short trip out of Amritsar, the lines and the wait. Interesting ceremony and it was fun to watch the crowd.

Its terrible with heat and especially if you have kids. Always plan ahead with passes. People in front wont listen and would keep standing. You need to wait from 4-6 for a seat. The ceremony is 6-6:30.

Wagah border is the only road border crossing between Pakistan and India, and lies on the Grand Trunk Road between the cities of Amritsar, Punjab, India and Lahore, Pakistan. People from Both side were charged with patriotism. Worth to see evening ceremony.

The border is always on the list of places for people visiting Amritsar and it has caught alot of attention with the way the parade is executed. Expect alot of energy and sloganisation at the border. Though now its become a symbolic parade and bad-mouthing the other side, there is a true sense of patriotism at the border. Make sure... More

It's a must visit, if you are visiting Amritsar. Though it is a bit of drive from Amritsar and draws in crowd, the ceremony is worth watching. The whole ceremony is of around 25-30 min where soldiers of both India and Pakistan have brief march (either single or in group of 2), take different positions, show angry expressions on their...

This spectacle is too long (more than 1 hour) for what is it. But still it is a must. Every evening both INdian and Pakistani soldiers will make a "ceremony-show" in which they will compete to see who can put the most angry face or who can lift his leg higher when marching. It's a show made with a lot... More
