PlanningTravel note
The border ceremony fills up long before it starts
Attari border, Amritsar, Punjab
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
The evening flag-lowering ceremony at Attari is popular, and the seating gallery fills well before the start. Bags are restricted at security, and the drive back to the city is slow when everyone leaves together.
What catches people out
Arriving close to the start time can mean standing far from the gate.
The lesson
Reach Attari early and travel light.
