Day 10 After visiting the railway station we will move to the Wagah border post to witness the flag ceremony. India and Pakistan, two nations separated since 1947, hoist the flag in a festive ceremony but one charged with fiery patriotic sentiments. On the way we will see a truck workshop where they also make charcoal. We then drive to a traditional brick factory, where workers mould the clay, dry the bricks and then stack them in dug out tanks for later firing with charcoal.

Day 11 On the way to Rawalpindi we will visit a small settlement with 20 tents where a group of people from Multan live in search of a livelihood. The purpose of this visit is to raise awareness of how hard life is for the poorest of the poor. Then we will visit the Rothas Fort, whose stone and mortar wall has a perimeter of 4 km. 

Day 12 In the morning we will visit old colonial houses. Then we will visit the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. In the afternoon we will go to a neighbourhood where there is an esplanade where children and young people play cricket.

Day 14 On the way to Peshawar we will visit another traditional brick factory to complement the first one. In the afternoon we will visit an old railway station of British origin (circa 1850) located in the village of Attock, at the confluence of the Indus and Kabul rivers.

Day 15 Visit the All Saint Church, adapted from a mosque in 1883. Nearby is a traditional bird market, which many people buy as pets. Then visit the Sher Shah Suri Mosque and the Mughal Ghor Khatri complex. After lunch, if we get special permission, we will visit the smugglers’ bazaar in the small town of Darra Adam Khel. If this is not possible we will visit the Buddhist ruins of Takht-i-Bahi.
