Amritsar Wagah Border Tour
Description
In the late afternoon travel to Wagah Border to watch the lowering of the flags ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border which is a daily military practice that the security forces of India(Border Security Force, BSF) and Pakistan (Pakistan Rangers) have jointly followed since 1959. The drill is characterized by elaborate and rapid dancelike manoeuvres and raising legs as high as possible, which have been described as "colourful". It is alternatively a symbol of the two countries’ rivalry, as well as brotherhood and cooperation between the two nations.

Itinerary
Wagah Border marked at a distance of about 29 Km from Amritsar. where you can watch the entire Indo-Pak parade ceremony. The flag down ceremony often starts before sunset time (around 4:30 pm in winters and 5:30 pm in summers). As soon as the time of the ceremony is about to come the sound of cheerful patriotic songs and calling out ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ and ‘Vande Matram’ starts loudly. Soldiers from both the sides start an extremely fast parade towards the border gate, as soon as the heavy gates about 2 meters aside from both the sides, the infantryman opens the door and both the soldiers come closer, swap ferocious glimpse and aped threat. They handshake with each other and start lowering the flags at this point entire crowd will become silent and the only sound which we hear is the sound of the soldier’s boot.
