I attended the flag march only once and its just too good. The only thing is that its too rushy at the weekends. Around 40 KMs from Amritsar City but worth going atleast once.

Enjoy being part of a partisan indian cheering crowd, go early to get seat unless you are good at the indian "squat" ! Better than an english derby football game !

when you visit Amritsar or Lahore, you should go to Wagah border ceremony, we saw it from Pakistan side but looks like Indian side has many more people and interesting.

Worth the short trip out of Amritsar, the lines and the wait. Interesting ceremony and it was fun to watch the crowd.

Its terrible with heat and especially if you have kids. Always plan ahead with passes. People in front wont listen and would keep standing. You need to wait from 4-6 for a seat. The ceremony is 6-6:30.

Wagah border is the only road border crossing between Pakistan and India, and lies on the Grand Trunk Road between the cities of Amritsar, Punjab, India and Lahore, Pakistan. People from Both side were charged with patriotism. Worth to see evening ceremony.

The border is always on the list of places for people visiting Amritsar and it has caught alot of attention with the way the parade is executed. Expect alot of energy and sloganisation at the border. Though now its become a symbolic parade and bad-mouthing the other side, there is a true sense of patriotism at the border. Make sure... More
