   There are some good places for tourists to visit near Lahore Pakistan:
   • You can visit Amritsar in India from the Wagah border; and see the amazing Golden Temple and other attractions. However, for this you will need an Indian visa. If coming from Wagah at the Pakistani border, take a cycle-rickshaw (Rs 15, 3km) to the Attari station, where you can catch a local bus to Amritsar (Rs 15, 25 km). Taxis also use this route and charge around Rs 200 for the entire vehicle. Amritsar is about 32 kilometres (20 mi) from Lahore.
   • Changa Manga - A human-made plantation about 70km from Lahore, which is worth visiting for all wildlife and nature lovers.
   • Across the Ravi River is the town of Shahdara, where you'll find the tomb of the emperor Jahangir and his charismatic wife Nurjehan.
   • About 35km from Sheikhupura, is the shrine of Hiran Minar, which is a pavilion-like monument to a pet antelope of the Mughal emperor Jahangir. The site was built on his former hunting grounds.
   • The ancient city of Harappa was one of the first Indus Valley excavation sites; a must see if you're into archaeology. Harappa lies about 300km southwest of Lahore.
