Wagah Border Ceremony

Amritsar

Witness the spectacular evening flag-lowering and border-closing ceremony at Wagah — the only road crossing between India and Pakistan. Elite Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers perform a choreographed display of high-kicks, stamping, and parade manoeuvres to the roar of thousands of spectators on both sides of the gate.
