The border crossing is open daily until 4 p.m.
Afterwards, a show is held every evening on both sides, including a military parade by border guards.
Thousands of people come daily from all over both countries to experience this spectacle. It is also very popular with foreign tourists. The stands on both sides have been expanded.
On the Indian side, there is a semicircular stadium that can accommodate thousands of spectators.
The site of the spectacle is 22 km from Lahore and 28 km from Amritsar. You have to walk a bit and pass through several checkpoints, so you should leave early.
The Wagah Border was only created in 1947, after World War II.
Without warning, one country became two within a few days.
The latest conflict, by the way, is being fought with a different kind of flag. In 2017, India erected a flagpole almost 110 meters high. Shortly thereafter, Pakistan erected a mast about 120 m high.
