You won't see a flag-lowering ceremony on the India-Pakistan border anywhere. You can at the Wagah crossing. You walk there, and a single bus service runs between nearby Lahore and Delhi once a day. Otherwise, no vehicles. Both the Indian and Pakistani flags are lowered daily around 5:00 AM.
A border of over 3,000 km and only one crossing? Yes, it is possible, between India and Pakistan. These two countries, which do not have particularly good relations, maintain only one land border crossing located in the state of Punjab, which is also divided between the two feuding neighbors. The crossing itself is located on the Indian side near the village of Attari, about 30 km from Amritsar, a city of one million people. On the other side, it is only 25 km to Lahore, which is the second largest city in Pakistan with its 13 million inhabitants.
