- Kasur-Ganda Singh Border Crossing - The Pakistani village, which was named after a Sikh man, lies opposite the Indian village of Hussainiwala, which in turn was named after a Muslim. The border crossing is now closed. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the principal road crossing between India and Pakistan, but was replaced by the border crossing at Wagah, located a little further north.
Since 1970 there has been a daily Retreat Ceremony at the border crossing, similar to the Wagah border ceremony. Attendees are seated in close proximity here, as compared to Wagah where crowds are kept far apart. And unlike the jingoistic display at Wagah which draws nationalistic tourists from all over India and Pakistan, the Hussainiwala ceremony is a more intimate ceremony attended mostly by local Punjabis on either side of the border. As a result, the atmosphere is not as tense, and Indian and Pakistani attendees often smile and wave to one another.

Ganda Singh Border is approximately 60 km from Lahore and 20 km from Kasur City. One of its unique features is that tourists can sit closer compared to the Wahga border, allowing them to see both sides up close and even interact with Indian tourists by waving and talking. Another unique aspect is that tourists can explore Kasur City on their way to the border, enjoying the travel, food, diverse culture, and weather. It’s a healthy activity.
Since 1970, a daily Beating Retreat Border Ceremony has been held at 6 pm at this border crossing, conducted jointly by the military of both nations. This ceremony is similar to the Attari-Wagah border ceremony. Attendees are seated closer together; compared to Wagah, the Hussaini Wala ceremony is more intimate and is mainly attended by local Punjabis from both sides of the border. Consequently, the atmosphere is less tense, and Indian and Pakistani attendees often smile and wave at each other.
