Overview

For Sikhs worldwide, some of the faith’s holiest places are in Pakistan: the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji at Nankana Sahib, his final resting place at Kartarpur, the martyrdom site of Guru Arjan Dev Ji at Gurdwara Dera Sahib in Lahore, and Panja Sahib at Hasan Abdal. As a government-licensed Pakistani operator, we host sangat from the UK, Canada, USA, Australia, Europe and beyond with the care these journeys deserve.

This page is your starting point, an overview of every major site and the tours that reach them. From a single day of Lahore’s Sikh heritage to a ten-day pilgrimage across Punjab, we arrange Punjabi-speaking guides, gurdwara scheduling, airport assistance, hotels and transport.

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.
