I’ll share the story behind this pivotal event in India’s freedom struggle as you walk through the memorial. You’ll see the preserved bullet marks on the walls and the Martyrs’ Well, which stand as silent witnesses to history.

We’ll visit the Partition Museum, dedicated to the stories of India’s 1947 Partition. I’ll walk you through exhibits featuring personal belongings, photographs, and oral histories that bring this chapter of history to life. It’s a moving experience that helps you understand the human impact of one of the largest migrations in history

Finally, we’ll head to the Wagah Border for the famous flag-lowering ceremony.
