Guided Sikh pilgrimage tours to the sacred Gurdwaras of Pakistan, from Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur to Panja Sahib and Lahore, with visa support, comfortable hotels and full arrangements handled for you.
A Sikh Yatra to Pakistan is a pilgrimage to the holiest sites of the Sikh faith. The founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, was born in 1469 at Nankana Sahib, and spent the final years of his life at Kartarpur, both in present-day Pakistan. A Yatra brings pilgrims to these sacred Gurdwaras, along with Panja Sahib at Hasan Abdal and the historic shrines of Lahore. We arrange the complete journey, so you can focus on your devotion.
For Sikhs around the world, few journeys hold deeper meaning. The path of Guru Nanak begins and ends in the plains of Punjab, on the Pakistani side of the border, where his birthplace and his final resting place still stand as living centres of worship.
We plan private and group Yatras for pilgrims from the UK, Canada, the USA, Malaysia and beyond, with visa support, coordination of the site arrangements, hotels close to the Gurdwaras, and a caring team with you at every step. Explore the sacred sites below, or tell us your dates and we will build the Yatra around you.
These are the Gurdwaras and historic sites at the heart of a Sikh Yatra to Pakistan. A full journey weaves them together in a route built around your time and group.
Founded by Guru Nanak in 1504 on the banks of the Ravi, where he spent the last years of his life. One of the holiest sites in Sikhism, beautifully restored and open to pilgrims.
The birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in 1469, and the spiritual heart of the Yatra. The town holds several associated shrines marking moments from the Guru’s early life.
Home to a rock said to bear the sacred handprint of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, with a flowing spring. One of the most revered and visited Gurdwaras in Pakistan.
Standing beside the Lahore Fort, this Gurdwara marks the martyrdom of the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, and is a moving stop on the Lahore leg of the Yatra.
The memorial of the founder of the Sikh Empire, close to the Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort. A place of great historic and cultural significance for Sikhs.
Near Gujranwala, this Gurdwara marks a place where Guru Nanak is remembered to have stayed. A peaceful and historic addition to the pilgrimage route.
The site associated with Guru Nanak’s act of selfless service, the “true bargain,” when he spent his money feeding the hungry. A cherished teaching of Sikhi.
The Yatra also takes in the wider heritage of Lahore, the old walled city and the Wagah border ceremony, adding rich context to your sacred journey.
The story of Guru Nanak Dev Ji is written across the land of Punjab. He was born at Nankana Sahib, taught his message of oneness and service across the region, and gathered the first Sikh community at Kartarpur, where he passed away in 1539. Both his birthplace and his final home lie in present-day Pakistan.
Today these Gurdwaras are living places of worship, welcoming pilgrims from across the world. A Yatra here is a rare chance to stand where the faith began, take part in ardas and langar, and feel the history that shaped Sikhi. We consider it a privilege to help pilgrims make this journey with dignity and care.
Every Yatra is tailored, but this is how a classic five to seven day pilgrimage usually flows. We adjust the pace, order and length to your group and the occasion.
We welcome you at the airport and transfer you to a comfortable hotel. An evening to rest and settle before the Yatra begins.
Gurdwara Dera Sahib, the Samadhi of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and the heritage of the old walled city, with time for prayer and reflection.
A day at Gurdwara Janam Asthan, the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, and the associated shrines of the town, the spiritual heart of the journey.
Darshan at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, where Guru Nanak spent his final years on the banks of the Ravi, one of the holiest sites in Sikhism.
Gurdwara Panja Sahib at Hasan Abdal, with optional visits to Gurdwara Rori Sahib and Gurdwara Sacha Sauda as time allows.
A final morning of prayer before your transfer to the airport or onward to the Wagah border, your Yatra complete.
Booking a package should make travel simpler, not harder. Here is what you get with every International Escape.
