Many of us may have experienced the eerie atmosphere at the famous India-Pakistan 'Wagah border' through the movie 'Veer-Zara,' but how familiar are we with the location of the actual border? India shares borders with several countries, including China, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and others. Despite this knowledge, we have little awareness of the international borders in India that are open to travel or visit. In this section, we have geared up to tell you the places where you can visit to experience the borderlines.

1. India-Pakistan border, Wagah

Situated in the state of Punjab, the Wagah border is perhaps the most well-known border for Indians, thanks in part to some notable Hindi films. Observing the beating retreat ceremony, parade, and other festivities can undoubtedly evoke strong emotions. Thus, if you are in Punjab, this place is a must-visit for all its historical and patriotic importance.

What else can add to the splendour of the beautiful Meghalaya? Well, Dawki — where lies the India-Bangladesh border!

4. India-China border, Nathu La Pass

The valley of Sikkim not just houses beauty but also the border between India and China. Located around 54 km from the capital city of Gangtok, Nathu La Pass is at a height of 4310 m above sea level. However, the border can only be visited by Indian nationals, that too, with a permit. Although, obtaining the permit is not so hard as it can be applied for in Tourism and Civil Aviation Department.

5. India-Sri Lanka border, Dhanushkodi

Visiting South India? How about also checking out the India-Srilanka border in Tamil Nadu? The beautiful border town of Dhanushkodi in Tamil Nadu serves as an important place, for it is the only land border between India and Sri Lanka. One legend about this place is that the Ram Setu was built here. So, you can also visit here if Hindu mythology interests you!
