In shortIndian nationals can visit Lahore but under specific conditions: the standard Pakistan e-visa generally does not apply to Indian passport holders, who usually travel on category-specific visas (such as pilgrimage, visiting family, or organised group visas) obtained through the Pakistan High Commission, often with sponsorship. Rules change with the political situation, so Indian visitors must confirm the current requirements before planning.
The honest answer
It’s more complex for Indian passport holders than for most nationalities. Tourist e-visas are typically not available to Indians; travel is usually via pilgrimage visas (e.g. for Sikh heritage sites like Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur), family-visit visas, or organised groups, with city-specific restrictions.
Kartarpur Corridor
The Kartarpur Corridor has at times allowed Indian Sikh pilgrims visa-free day access to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib under a special arrangement — separate from a Lahore visit. Conditions vary; confirm current status. Kartarpur tour →
