The timing of the daily India-Pakistan Retreat Ceremony at the Attari Border has been revised, officials confirmed. The update was shared by Protocol Officer Arun Mahal, who stated that the parade schedule changes according to sunset timings.
The Retreat Ceremony, held every evening at the Attari border, attracts thousands of visitors from across India and abroad. Conducted by the Border Security Force (BSF), the parade is known for its high-energy drills, patriotic atmosphere, and ceremonial lowering of flags by Indian and Pakistani forces.
Why the Timing Has Changed
According to officials, the ceremony’s timing is adjusted periodically due to seasonal changes and variations in sunset timings. Visitors have been advised to reach the venue well in advance to avoid inconvenience.
Authorities have specifically recommended that tourists arrive at the border by 3:00 PM to ensure smooth entry and seating. Due to increasing daily footfall, those arriving late may face difficulty gaining entry.
Advisory for Visitors
Keeping in mind the growing crowd, the administration has urged visitors to plan their trip in advance and allocate extra time for traffic congestion and security checks.
The Retreat Ceremony at Attari Border is not merely a formal parade but a symbol of national pride, discipline, and tradition. Tourists planning to witness this iconic event are advised to check the updated timings and schedule their visit accordingly to enjoy the ceremony without disruption.
