One day tracing Sikh history in Lahore — Dera Sahib, Ranjit Singh's Samadhi and the Fort's Sikh chambers.Real photography to be added

Overview

Lahore was the capital of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s Sikh Empire, and the city carries that history beside its Mughal grandeur. This day centres on Gurdwara Dera Sahib — the martyrdom site of Guru Arjan Dev Ji — and the adjacent white-marble Samadhi of Ranjit Singh, both beside Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque.

Your Punjabi-speaking guide adds the Sikh-era chambers of the Fort, the relevant galleries of the Lahore Museum, and the wider story of Sikh Lahore, making this an ideal first day for pilgrims or a rich standalone day for history lovers.
