Wagah is the only road border crossing between India and Pakistan, situated between the cities of Amritsar, India and Lahore, Pakistan.
It is a ceremonial border, where each evening, armed soldiers from each side of the border enact a particularly hostile parade while lowering their respective flags to the sounding of bugles. Although the parade used to be hostile, over the past few years it has become much more moderate. Now soldiers from both sides of the border shake hands before closing the border gates. This is seen as the result of dialogues and improved relationship between India and Pakistan.
