A day trip to Wagah Border, Amritsar, Punjab..

The awesome journey we started was from Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
We here were  just 2, myself and my bestie Chetan,  as we both were very patriotic  in nature planned to move towards India and Pakistan border <Wagah border> to view a great parade which will be conducted everyday from 4:30 pm.
We haired a train from Dehradun at 7:30 in the evening and reached Amritsar next day 7:30 in the morning. It was almost 12 hours of journey.
We almost had half a day to our respective destination Wagah Border so decided to visit other 2 destinations, they were Golden Temple and jallian-wala-bagh. We saw a bicycle rickshawas surrounded the railway station and as they r not much costly we haired it and moved towards Golden temple which is just 4-5 kms from the station.
And by another rickshaw we went to jallian-wala-bagh , which we did was wrong,  golden temple to jallian-wala-bagh Is just a walkable distance,  it is just a worthless hiring a taxi between these two destination.
As you all know that panjabis are always too good in there food habits,  having breakfast at a near by restaurant named "The Brother's" proved that they are good enough.  We went around  the city and had a Lussi which was wonderful,
And by shared taxi we headed towards our dream destination Wagah Border,  it was around 1:30 pm and bit early, but we were confident that moving early can help us to get a front seat, and it was true. The distance from Amritsar city to Wagah Border was 35 to 40km which consists few time, and costed100 INR /person in a shared taxi.
We reached there around 3:30 and one hour seemed like a year,
The experience there was really heart-touching, the thousands of chorus voice were screaming BHAARATH MATHA KI JAI, is still there in my ears, I really suggest every Indian must experience this wonderful opportunity to visit the respectable Indian border which is really proud to say,  "I had been there" !.
Our wonderful journey came to an end, as we were pre booked our train
Tickets we were suppose to return back to the station in the same taxi which again costed 100 INR.
Hear I give the contact details of a taxi driver who can take you to the Wagah Border in a very less economy
