Attari-Wagah Border ceremony
The daily ceremony of lowering of the flags of both countries at the Attari-Wagah border is a must-see ceremony.
Dawki, Meghalaya
Dawki is no stranger to travellers. It is most famous for the crystal clear Umngot River, which, in drier months, gets as clear as glass. The boats on the water look like they are floating in the air. Dawki Integrated Check Post is one of the few road border crossings between India and Bangladesh.
Moreh, Manipur
Moreh is a small border town in Tengnoupal district of Manipur. The town, located on the Indo-Myanmar border, is on the Asian Highway 1. The town may lack pretty places to visit, but what you can do instead is go check out the international trading point which is known as Border Haat Trade.
Pangong Lake, Ladakh
Did you know that the Line of Actual Control passes through the Pangong Tso Lake, and that a majority of the lake comes under Chinese territory?
Pangong Tso
The Indian side of the Pangong Lake is one of the most visited places in the country and its beauty is legendary.
Nathu La, Sikkim
Nathu La pass is a route for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, one of the few routes where Indians can cross over to the The Tibet Autonomous Region or Xizang Autonomous Region.
Nathu La’s last outpost
To cross the Indo-China border, you will need a special permit from the Sikkim Tourism Department in Gangtok.
