Wagah (Hindi वाघा, Urdu واگها) is the only road border crossing between India and Pakistan, and lies on the Grand Trunk Road between the cities of Amritsar, India and Lahore, Pakistan.

It is a ceremonial border, where, each evening, armed soldiers from each side of the border enact a particularly hostile parade while lowering their respective flags to the sounding of bugles.

Although the parade used to be hostile, over the past few years it has become much more moderate. Now soldiers from both sides of the border shake hands before closing the border gates. This is seen as the result of dialogues and improved relationship between India and Pakistan.

Now even some officers walk to other side HQ for some day to day affairs. There is now also a bus service operating within the split state of Punjab between Amritsar (India) and Lahore (Pakistan), further emphasising improving relations between the two countries.
