This place should be in "place to visit before you die" for every indian.. Border ceremony is classic with army men lower our flags with respect & pride .. You will feel the punch and pride.. A must must place to visit. Ensure you walk in early and get a seat close to the army men.. If any senior citizen... More

The Indian side of the border crossing now boasts a huge new passenger facility, which is way oversized for the number of people who cross. Worse, it is now necessary to take a bus to the border which means an extensive wait. Overall it has added at least half an hour to the border crossing and not obvious what it... More

It feels great when you cross the border. It feels as you stepping in to a new world. If you are going to India from Pakistan then always go to India via road because when you go across the border the feeling cannot be expressed into words.

Please read Wagah Border reviews as that is the proper name of this attraction. It is a great spectacle and show of nationalism on both sides and well worth the trip and the crowds. If you enjoyed the singing in Slumdog Millionaire then you will love the singing at the border.

Be careful while visiting with your family it was overcrowded on weekends and poorly managed crowd though atmosphere s electric like India-Pakistan matches. No mobile network near stands so please discuss with each other well in advance where to meet after completion of the ceremony. Try to reach there by 1-2 hour prior to the ceremony which usually starts after... More

You can't travel to Amritsar and miss the Wagah Border experience. It's fun, interesting...just get into the flow of cheering for India with the audience!

I like the crowd chanting Vande Mataram at the border. The parade is great to watch. Your heart skips a beat when you shout witht he people. BSF keep up the good work. Feels Great to be an Indian.
