The Golden Palace - Amritsar


Wagah Border Ceremony

Thousands of people show up everyday at the only road link between India and Pakistan to watch the border Ceremony and the lowering of the flags.
We didn't really know what to expect but the atmosphere was amazing with the crowds on both sides competing to see who could cheer the loudest.
And the soldiers competing to see who can kick the highest
And there is lots of fast marching
Even they couldn't keep straight face

The Pakistan side

The coordinated lowering of the flags
