Where Two Countries Meet and Exchange Cultural Values - Wagah Border

If you are a patriot or a proud citizen of your country, you must definitely visit this place. Wagah is a village situated near a road border crossing and a railway station between Pakistan and India, and lies on the Grand Trunk Road between the cities of Amritsar, Punjab, India, and Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.

The border is located 24 kilometres from Lahore and 32 kilometres from Amritsar. It is also 3 kilometres from the bordering village of Attari. It is particularly known for the elaborate Wagah border ceremony that happens at the border gate, two hours before sunset each day. The flag ceremony is conducted by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers (PR). The ceremony starts with a wonderful parade by the soldiers from both the countries and ends when the flags of both the countries are lowered and folded. Also a handshake is offered by the soldiers from both the sides. The gates are closed following the colourful ceremony. This ceremony attracts a lot of visitors from both the countries as well as the international tourists.

The closest significant town to Wagah from the Indian side is Amritsar, Punjab. Also close is Lahore on the Pakistani side. The Samjhauta Express from Delhi to Lahore passes through Wagah. The last station on the Indian side is Attari. For more details regarding Wagah Border, Click the link below:-
