Armed with our Pakistan visas, we are going to Amritsar next week to cross the border from India to Pakistan.
We would also like to see the daily ceremony. I understand this is around 3-5pm (India or Pakistan time) so we will aim to be at the border around midday to leave enough time for the formalities.
I have a few questions:
a) do we go through both immigration/customs posts first and then see the ceremony from the Pakistan side? I presume if we stayed on the India side until the ceremony is over, the immigration posts would be shut.
b) I understand bags are not allowed into the ceremony? We will have our large rucksacks with us as we want to go straight to Lahore after the ceremony. Is there any luggage storage facility at the border? Failing that is it possible to catch a glimpse of the ceremony without going inside the "no bags allowed" zone?
c) Is there a bus from the Pakistan side of the border to the centre of Lahore? I heard number 4 might go..
Many thanks,
camels
