Overview
Nankana Sahib, about 75 km southwest of Lahore, is among the holiest places in Sikhism, the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the faith’s founder. The town holds a cluster of historic gurdwaras, centred on Gurdwara Janam Asthan (Nankana Sahib), each marking an episode of the Guru’s early life.
We drive you there in comfort (about 1.5 hours each way), with a Punjabi-speaking guide to handle scheduling, explain the history and help you participate respectfully in darshan and langar. The site is open to Sikh pilgrims and interested visitors of all backgrounds, subject to entry requirements.
