The passion that soldiers execute their commands and the energy put into the entire event makes it very inspiring and leaves an effect . The wait is the only thing that irritates as it is very hot and you have to endure it for around 3 hours besides that it's an amazing experience.

Well the visit was very tiring, But worth it. Mine and almost a lakh people around me felt our patriotism at its peak. Nice experience for one time. I am glad they are building a bigger stadium as way too crowded. Also very hot to sit on the ground, they should put something for people to sit on.

Once in a lifetime experience..beyond words to describe.. Must visit for every Indian!
Before entering, just need to be strict with cap, tattoo, umbrella etc sellers who forcefully try to impose their products and they r too many in numbers. Quite irritating.

Being an Indian, I couldn't have given any lesser rating. Having said that, it deserves the rating. Without the zeal, passion and fervour on both sides the experience will be incomplete. First of all, our guide told us that on the Indian side, the Indian Army calls it the Attari Border and not the Wagah border. Wagah is the border village in Pakistan and Attari on the Indian side. You may say, its just a name. But for me, hereafter, it is Attari border.

The Indian side completely outnumbers the pakistani side. Roughly 25:1, if not more. The decibels level are on a high right through the 30 minutes ceremony and before. The Indian side is soon going to get a huge stadium (construction underway) to accommodate the ever increasing numbers. I just can't imagine what it would be like with 50,000 people shouting 'Vande Mataram', 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' ' Hindustan Zindabad' in unison. Goose bumps right through. It was very heartening to see women officers on both the sides of the border being part of the ceremony.

The Indian side inflow starts as early as 12:30 pm for the 5:30 pm ceremony. Such is the importance of this daily ceremony for us. I suggest be there around 3 pm so that you have the pick of the places to sit and watch. There is a walk of around 1 km before you reach the ceremony location. It can be hot, so carry umbrellas, caps, goggles, water. There are a few vendors selling chips and biscuits. So feed yourself well, before you start for the border.

It takes an effort to reach there, but once you are there, there is nothing like it. Never miss it, if you are in Amritsar. At least once in your life, you must make it there. It is EXHILARATING.

I visited wagha border in May. It's about 50-60 mins drive from Amritsar and the 2 way taxi ride should not cost more than 1100 Rs. No need to go through tour company as you are on your own once you get to the border. Ideally you should get there by 4:00 pm as there is a good 1.5 km walk and security to clear. Be sure to have small wallet/cross body bag as you are not allowed big purse/bagpack. I had a umbrella to protect from hot sun. They do have plenty of vendor to keep you hydrated. If you are U.S. citizen, bring your passport with you and they will have you seated under shade with other foreigners. The ceremony is quite intense and interesting with both sides playing patriotic songs. The Indian side actually invites women and children to walk with flag and dance on patriatric songs. Once the ceremony starts, it gets quite intense with both sides marching to the same beat. It's quite coordinated and deserves a lot of respect for both countries to cooperate and carry the entire ceremony out.
If you are in Amritsar, you can visit Jaliawalla bagh/golden temple in the morning or head to golden temple right after the border visit for the view of temple in the night light.
