A walled city of monuments, palaces, mosques & shrines and blend of Mughal, gothic & Victorian styles, the Pakistani city of Lahore promises many first experiences. We will inspect the 17th Century frescoed Wazir Khan Mosque and nearby Shahi Hammam, wander the bazaars in search of the Sunehri Masjid, with many surprises and new discoveries along the way.
Highlight of visit will be the Wagah Border Ceremony at sunset. Known as the Beating of the Retreat and mirrored from the Punjab state of Amritsar from India next door, we will witness the high kicks and pomp of this most unique military border ceremony.
Lahore is also known as the food capitol of Pakistan. You will quickly realize that it deserves its title fairly, as we will dine at the famous Food
Street but also fine restaurants with spectacular views.
