Gudakesa Chaturvedi

Watching the closing ceremony at Wagah Border is something we are planning for a really long time and in this tour, we get to see that as well. The guide explains us in advance what not to do there and we thus the 1-hour session at Wagah Border. He even suggested a few places for traditional Punjabi style food and it was all so much fun. Thanks, Thrillophilia for a nice tour of Amritsar.
