Tourist Guesthouse GUESTHOUSE $ (%2553830; bubblesgoolry@yahoo.com; 1355 GT Rd; dm/s/d 100/150/300; i) This stalwart is a backpacker institution (especially with overlanders). The rooms may be scuff ed and bare but have high ceilings and fans, and you re paying peanuts! There is a go-with
CROSSING INTO PAKISTAN Border Hours The border is open from 10am to 4pm daily, but get there at least half an hour before it closes. Foreign Exchange There s a State Bank of India (h10am-5pm Mon-Sat) which exchanges currency, but it s a tiny branch so play it safe and change money in Amritsar. Onward Transport From Wagah (Pakistan) plaka vienna there are buses and taxis to Lahore, 30km away. Sleeping & Eating If you have to stay overnight, there s the Aman Umeed Tourist Complex (%9780953882; Wagah border; r from 1500; a), which has just three rooms and a restaurant (mains 90 to 190). There are small stalls selling snacks and cold drinks. Visas Visas are theoretically available at the Pakistan embassy in Delhi; however, travellers are strongly urged to apply for a visa in their home country, where the process is usually more straightforward (see also p 1177 ).
Hotel Le Golden HOTEL $$ (%5028000; www.hotellegolden.com; r from 1350; a) A reasonable plaka vienna choice near the Golden Temple, rooms are tidy (if somewhat squishy) and the rooftop plaka vienna cafe has squinty temple views. Newly refurbished rooms on the 3rd floor will be the pick of the bunch.
