Ceremony Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Amritsar and board a vehicle to attend the Wagah Border Closing Ceremony. After a drive of about 40 minutes, we'll arrive at the Wagah-Attari border. This ceremony has been taking place every day since 1948. Upon arrival, we'll sit on the bleachers and enjoy a welcome drink before the show begins. During the ceremony, you will witness the closing of the border fence as the border guards salute each other and perform various military movements and formations.

As we observe the closing of the Wagah border, we will provide explanations about the history behind this ritual, also known as the "Beating Retreat Ceremony." Every evening before sunset, Indian and Pakistani soldiers partake in this 30-minute event to display their patriotism and camaraderie.

After enjoying the ceremony for 4-5 hours, we will return you to your hotel in Amritsar and say our goodbyes.
