Wagah

The border between Pakistan and India is located 30km east of Lahore at Wagah.

Whether or not you’re going to India it’s worth making a special trip to the border to watch the amazing closing-of-the-border (flag-lowering) ceremony that takes place each day. If you’ve got time, see it from both sides of the fence, as the objective of each side’s soldiers is to out-march, out-salute and out-shout each other (if you’re crossing the border you’ll only get to see it from the Indian side).
If you’ve got any questions once at the Wagah border, don’t hesitate to ask Mr Latif, the friendly owner of the Latif Old Book Shop.
