TOUR OVERVIEW
It was a privilege and pleasure to host the Sikh Pilgrimage trip of my friend Gurpreet Singh in December 2022. Towards the end of the trip Mr. Gurpreet Singh had suggested to me to facilitating overseas Sikh Community in organising Sikh Pilgrimage tour, as he found me an ideal person for an organisation of Sikh Pilgrimage tour for overseas Sikhs, to which I agreed upon.
Sikh pilgrimage tour Pakistan is a spiritual journey to purify one’s soul and submit themselves to their God. Like every other religion, Sikhism has some places where Sikhs visit to purify themselves. Pakistan is rich with Sikh heritage and with the number of most sacred and historical gurdwaras of the sub-continent. The founder of Sikh religion, Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born in Pakistan. Spent most of his life time here and demised in the same region. More than ninety percent of all the holy Sikh shrines are in Pakistan. There are so many gurudwaras and other Sikh historical places to see in Pakistan that one need quite a long tour to visit all of them. I have designed our Sikh Pilgrimage Tour Pakistan in a way that you can visit the most important and sacred Gurdwaras during your short pilgrimage tour in Pakistan.
I have designed a 6 nights 7 days Sikh pilgrimage tour in Pakistan, duration may be longer or shorter depending on the clients requirements, ability and available time. I can also customise your Pilgrimage tour according to your needs and Gurdwaras you would like to visit.
Sikh pilgrimage tour Pakistan starts by arriving at Lahore airport. Your guide will meet and greet you at the airport then transfer you to the hotel. Depending on your arrival time, if arrive early, then visit at Gurdawara Dera Sahib (Gurdwara Dera Sahib: is a Sikh temple in Lahore, which commemorates the spot where the 5th Guru of Sikhism, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, died in 1606). and an orientation tour of Lahore city, dinner at Haveli restaurant.
SECOND day you will visit the Nankana Sahib, Gurdwara Janam Asthan of Guru Nanak Dev Jee. Nankana Sahib is a city and capital of Nankana Sahib district in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It is located about 80 km (50 mi) west of Lahore. It is named after the first Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Nanak, who was born in the city and first began preaching here.
Gurdwara Janam Asthan, also referred to as Gurdwara Nankana Sahib, is a highly revered gurdwara that was built at the site where the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, was believed to be born. The shrine is located in the city of Nankana Sahib. After visiting all the holy shrines, you will head back to Lahore for overnight stay.

Sikh Heritage in Pakistan:
Pakistan is proud to be cradle of Sikh heritage. After Mughals downfall in Indian sub-continent the Sikhs took over India and ruled here for about two decades and during their era there were lot of new additions into the Indian history which are quite visible if we concentrate a little on it. There are endless monuments, havelis, forts and Gurdwaras which are now part of the major landmarks of Pakistan.
Jamrud fort is one of the old forts built by Sikhs, the fort at the main gateway to India (Khyber Pass) which was known as the first defence for India. There are also other forts in Shabqadar, Lockhart, Balahisar fort, fort in Bara, Michni, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Haripur, Mansehra and Oghi. Some of the Sikh ruins at Khairabad, AkoraKhattak and Jehangira forts are still to be explored which were built by Sikhs.
One can also witness the famed March 14, 1823 battle of Nowshera and located Samadh of BhaiPhoola Singh Akali, a general of the Sikh army who fell in the battle and was cremated on the site located near the northern bank of Kabul river at PirSabak.
Pilgrimage is very common to most major religions of the world. The Sikhs, in their thousands, visit Pakistan each year to celebrate the birth anniversary of their founder, Guru Nanak, at Nankana Sahib, his birthplace.
Since the Sikh rule lasted for almost a century in the sub-continent there are hundreds of Gurdawaras all over Pakistan but mostly in the Punjab, some of which are very famous such as Nankana Sahib and Panja Sahib. These Gurdwaras are looked after by the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) with collaboration Gurduwara Parbandhak Comittee.
