to the india-pakistan border to watch the border closing ceremony at the attari
wagah border this event is a must do when you come to
amritsar this ceremony marks the closing of the india-pakistan border for the day
and people travel from far and wide to witness the display of military
showmanship dominated by stomping high kicks and
exaggerated movements to be honest it reminded me of attending
a live sporting event it was high energy and a lot of fun with
plenty of cheering dancing flag waving and singing
afterwards we went to the local restaurant where we tried pakistani food
for the first time we had chicken kebab dal mud and curry
and i was also challenged to eat a whole chili

live entertainment and some delicious food

the border closing ceremony and he's saying it's like no man's land basically it's an empty
space that lost no one right yeah

the india pakistan border ceremony takes place daily at the attari wagah border just
before sunset the military event is performed
by india's border security force and the pakistan rangers and is something that
has been done since 1959. technically the whole
purpose behind the ceremony is to lower the national flag and officially close
the border for the night however what takes place is a lively
display featuring marching stomping and plenty of high kicks while
the crowd cheers and breaks into song and dance
it's energetic it's theatrical and it's an event you cannot miss whether you
find yourself traveling in amritsar or across the
border in neighboring lahore
