A visit to the border is an interesting experience especially at Sunset, when the retreat ceremony takes place with the Border Security Force on the Indian Side and the Sutlej Rangers on the Pakistan side putting up a well coordinated and spectacular display. The sound from the Bugles blown together from both sides paints past on the canvas when India and Pakistan were one, simultaneously Flags of the two nations are ceremoniously retrieved and lights are switched on marking the end of the day.

Delhi, Agra, Jaipur is the best city to explore it. There are many monuments, Forts, Palaces and other things are there. Golden triangle tour with khajuraho and varanasi is the best option to go.
