Hi Everyone,
I two questions
1) If I take a bus to see border ceremony in Wagah fro Lahore, Is there bus coming back to Lahore after the ceremony? If so, would it be very crowd? Or would it be easier to watch from Indian side in term of transportation?

2) Is there a Sufi Festival in Lahore now? My hostel manager told me that there is Sufi festival on Aug 25 and 26 about 13 km from Lahore centre. There is another one on Aug 28 and 29 and it will be in about 30 km from Lahore. There is no bus go there. It is only once a year. He seem to be very interesting in telling me the Festival only.

Thanks,

Hello mate
You can take a rickshaw or tuctuc depending on what they are called to the border,they are cheap and they will wait for you until the ceremony is finished

There many public buses which go to flag down ceremony at Wagha but they re very crowded,I'd go with Steweu suggestion.
