Central Punjab plus Panja Sahib and Taxila — a fuller pilgrimage across the north.Real photography to be added

Overview

Seven days let the pilgrimage breathe and reach further north. Building on the central-Punjab core — Lahore, Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur — this itinerary adds the sacred Gurdwara Panja Sahib at Hasan Abdal and the ancient Gandhara Buddhist sites of nearby Taxila, with an overnight in the Islamabad area to make the northern leg comfortable.

It’s our recommended itinerary for pilgrims who want the complete central-and-northern Sikh heritage of Pakistan in one trip, with full support throughout. Priced on request.

Entry requirements differ by nationality and change over time — especially for Indian passport holders and the Kartarpur Corridor’s separate permit system. We check the current rules for your documents before anything is booked.
