The participants enjoyed the insight into Pakistani history they received on their trip to the Lahore Museum as well as the Change of Guard at Wahga Border. It was arranged on 17th June, after the first midterm to refresh the trainees.
 

Lahore Museum is located opposite the old University Hall, a Mughal style building on the Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam. The Museum contains some fine specimens

  

 

of Mughal and Sikh door-ways and wood-work. It has also a collection of musical instruments, ancient jewelry, textile, pottery and armory. There are relics from the Graeco-Bactrian times as well as well as some Tibetan and Nepalese work.

 
 

After visiting the museum, the participants were taken to the Lahore-India border to see the change of guard ceremony.  It is a ceremonial border, where, each evening, armed soldiers from each side of the border enact a  parade while lowering their respective flags to the sounding of bugles. The soldiers from both sides of the border shake hands before closing the border gates.
