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.

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.

The border is between Amritsar in India and Lahore in Pakistan. It is a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the grandstand. The event is free.

The border crossing is open daily until 4 p.m. After the ceremony it remains closed overnight

This event is a must-see. It only happens once in the world

Mohenjo-daro meaning 'Mound of the Dead Men' is an archaeological site in the province of Sindh, Pakistan. Built around 2500 BCE, it was the largest settlement of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization also known as the Harappan Civilization, and one of the world's earliest major cities, contemporaneous with the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Minoan Crete, and Norte Chico. With an estimated population of at least 40,000 people, Mohenjo-daro prospered until around 1700 BCE. Mohenjo-daro was the most advanced city of its time, with remarkably sophisticated civil engineering and urban planning. When the Indus civilization went into sudden decline around 1900 BCE, Mohenjo-daro was abandoned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohenjo-daro

The King Faisal Mosque is National Mosque of Pakistan and the largest Mosque of South Asia. The Faisal Mosque takes its name from the donor: Sheikh or King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. He had it built in the 80s as a gift to Pakistan as a national mosque. Completed in 1986. It is the 5th largest mosque in the world with a total area of 130,000 square meters. Up to 300,000 believers can be accommodated here. I probably experienced around 100,000 today (high number because of Friday prayers and Ramadan). It's unbelievable how calm and serene people are looking for parking spaces in endless queues before Friday prayers, making a pilgrimage there and returning after prayers. No angry looks or words, no rush, no nervousness. We could take a look... Unfortunately, I did not manage to step inside the mosque with its blue sky. Because of the large number of people, I would have had to wait about an hour before I could enter the main building. That was too long, we still had hundreds of kilometers to go to Gujranwala, and we still wanted to see the best vantage point in town: "Daman-e-Koh".

Masherbrum, formerly known as K1, is in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. At 7,821 m it rises between Baltistan in the south and the Baltoro Glacier in the north. Masherbrum is the highest peak in the ridge south of the Baltoro Glacier and belongs to the so-called "Little Karakoram". From its southwest face, the Masherbrum Glacier flows south to the Hushe Valley. The southeast side of the mountain drains via the Gondogoro Glacier, which begins further east at Gondogoro La and also flows to the Hushe Valley. West, northwest, and northeast faces feed Liligo, Mandu, and Yermanendu glaciers, which flow north to the Baltoro Glacier. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masherbrum
