About this activity
You will be picked up from your hotel between 2:30 - 3 PM and proceed to Wagah Border to witness the afternoon parade ceremony. Watch ceremony from the VIP or foreigner Gallery. (Indian Passport holder Not eligible for VIP Entry, they have sit to in common gallery)
Located at about 29 km from Amritsar on the Grand Trunk, Wagah border post has become famous for the ceremonial closing of gates and lowering of flags of India and Pakistan. BSF and Pakistani Rangers march towards the gates from their respective sides. After the gate is open, the soldiers salute each other and start lowering the flags. The flags are carefully folded and carried back. The ceremony reaches a crescendo with the soldiers returning to the border line for the final handshake and the blowing of the bugle marks the end of the ceremony. As the ceremony climbs to its apogee, cries of Jai Hind and Pakistan Zindabad render in the air.
After the parade ceremony, your driver will then take you to a local restaurant for a lavish mouthwatering dinner. After dinner your driver will drop you back to your hotel.

Great trip, driver and guide on time and greatly prepared, but the dinner was much less than your normal Indian standards. It was a set menu, no possibility of change nor any explanation given, the restaurant was cold and kitsch and the service was poor. I would have never chosen that restaurant by myself, a true tourist trap.
Great trip and definitely recommend. Our guide suggested a slightly earlier pick up which meant we had perfect seating close to the gate. Onkar was excellent speaking very good English to give us a guided tour as we passed other places of interest en route. The evening dinner was a perfect end to the trip.
