Wagah Border, located at the land border of India and Pakistan on the Grand Trunk Road, is the famous site for a ceremonial retreat, featuring flag-lowering conducted by the Indian Border Security Force and the Pakistan Rangers. Witnessing the dramatic action sequence on this iconic spot, situated 32 kilometres from Amritsar and 22 kilometres from Lahore, is on the bucket list of every visitor during a trip to India.
As part of this day tour, you will take a one-hour long drive from Amritsar to Wagah. This key land border between India and Pakistan is the location for a daily dramatic spectacle, involving a coordinated show by the Indian Border Security Force from India and Pakistan Rangers.
Hundreds of civilians and tourists visit Wagah Border to witness the retreat ceremony every day with great enthusiasm and cheerful jubilation. The festival-like fervour heightens as soldiers from both sides initiate their choreographed steps. Strictly disciplined and perfectly poised army men in crisp uniforms and plumed headgear enact the closure of the border for the day. Theatrical aggression adds a special flavour to the flawless performances. The chorus of patriotic singing, chanting, hooting and cheering, keeps rising in tempo till the event draws to a close with firm handshakes by both sides.
Goosebumps are guaranteed.

It was a perfect leisure getaway – thanks for organising this! We loved the French Connection Trail; the guide took us through the French quarter sharing some incredible stories from the colonisation. We enjoyed the hotel and the service!
I will begin by saying that I had a FANTASTIC time in India. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken and I'm truly looking forward to hopefully having you book other trips for me in India.
I must say everything was planned to perfection. Each guide in every city was knowledgeable; especially the guide you arranged for us in Udaipur. We really enjoyed getting to know our guides Musheer and Kishore. We experienced the real India and appreciated the detailed itinerary your team created for us. The hotels were fantastic! In every hotel, the chef paid us a visit to make sure that we had meals suitable for us. We also enjoyed all the extra shopping excursions that were suggested.
The trip was a mega success and your team did a great job. Thanks to Footprint for everything. The entire family had a great time! The exclusive kalaripayattu demonstration was absolutely engaging and we loved every bit of the special private stand-up by Alex Babu (of Alex in Wonderland fame).
Thank you for a great trip! We especially enjoyed driving through the desertland into Jaisalmer; we also thoroughly enjoyed Bikaner, its Havelis and the Fort. Catching the daily life in Mumbai was a unique and eye-opening experience! All the hotels chosen are excellent with wonderful staff. Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful trip to Kerala. We loved the village life walk and Fort Cochin walk. The backwater cruise in a traditional country boat was an incredible experience. A meal with the local family, living on an island in the backwaters, offered us an excellent opportunity to interact, learn and share. We loved every minute of our holiday! Thanks!
As a solo traveller, I felt safe and was exceptionally well taken care of. The cooking class in Jaipur was extremely enjoyable. The food, chef, and his wife were all exceptional and made for a lovely evening. Also, our expectations were definitely exceeded at a private residence, spending time with the elephants and lunching. Thanks!!
I loved India and thank you very much for arranging everything. It was a fabulous trip. Big kudos to you and your team. The tour guides and drivers were excellent. I loved the artisan walk, discovering the artistic treasures of Udaipur, meeting local potters and painters.
Thanks for arranging everything to precision – it was super smooth and we had a very good darshan!
Thanks for organising a great trip to Lucknow and Varanasi. The hotels at both the places were excellent; we had a great guide in Varanasi who went beyond the designated tour route and showed us around. The food tour in Lucknow was amazing and re-discovering the Awadhi Cuisine was a great experience – the kebabs were out of the world!
It was a terrific experience to spot the King of the jungle in all their glory at Gir. We had a very good experience overall.
