Like I said, I'm not sure the exact time, but the ceremony takes place in the hour before sunset - you MUST cross before the ceremony, as it marks the closing of the border for the day - you cannot cross after the ceremony.

Okk ... The Immgration office closed at 3 : 30 pm .... IST
Inidan, Pakistani, & Srilankan & i think chinese cant cross border by foot..either u need to be 65 yrs and above or 10 yrs below...

Never ever opt for train... it will kill your time like anything..

There are bus service between... Lahore & Delhi And Lahore & Amritsar...

There are direct flight ( PIA ) from New Delhi to Lahore costing around 17000/- IRS

I realise that this is more of a 'pakistanmike' question, but if there is anyone who has crossed at this point recently, can you offer any advice on Waggah - Lahore transport types and costs? Or even cheap accomodation in Lahore. I'm hoping to duck over the border for a few days to visit Jahangir and his good lady wife.

IM member Wazen crossed recently with no problems.

A good place to stay to meet other travellers is the Regale Internet Inn at Regale Chowk (its just up a lane beside a store). They have dorm rooms for something like 150 Pak Rupees a night. The owner Malik should be able to sort out a private room for you if you want.

Try to be in Lahore on a Thursday so you can see the Qawaali music and the Sufi night.
