Trishaw to Atari 10Rs
Trishaw to Atari
The bus from Amritsar dropped us at the last point for us to get on this trishaw to the border. You don't have to worry about "no trishaw", there's always too many trishaws until we decided to take 2. Each cost 10Rs to cycle 2km approx. to border. The only thing you can do on the ride is to keep laughing too excited and too eager to see Pakistan. Everybody was laughing.......
Atari entrance
India - Pakistan border crossing
This page only talks about how I crossed the border called Atari. The border is not big from both sides but only about 2km in total where the portion of Pakistan called Wagah Border and Atari in India separated by a distance of tar road about half kilometers. This one in second photo is Atari, the entrance gate. Tourists can just walk into this gate about 50 footsteps to the custom office to let the officers do their stamp and chop work, srcutiny as well. So make sure you have passport, visa and currency in advance. No charges nothing at the office but they want you to change money from them, that's okay because they want to make some extra income but make sure the rates are reasonable.

These trichaw boys are accepting a pack of American and world number one product, the Marlboro from Andy. He is my travel partner and he carried with him a few packs of Marlboros, suppose to consume himself but bit by bit I saw him given away packs to those peoples who ask for it. I don't smoke but try to snap some memorable photos to show to tourists worldwide, particularly on VT, the greatest travel website so far.
