TOUR OVERVIEW
Sikh pilgrimage tour to Pakistan is a spiritual journey to purify one’s soul and submit oneself to one’s God. Like every other religion, Sikhism has some places where Sikhs visit to purify themselves. Pakistan is rich with Sikh heritage and with a number of the most sacred and historical gurdwaras of the sub-continent. The founder of the Sikh religion, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, was born in Pakistan. Spent most of his lifetime here and died in the same region. More than ninety per cent 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 needs quite a long tour to visit all of them. We 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.
Trango Adventure is a licensed and authorised tour operator in Pakistan. For many years, Trango Adventure have been offering Sikh Pilgrimage Tour Pakistan to our Sikh Community in Pakistan. Trango Adventure operates a 7-9 day Sikh pilgrimage tour in Pakistan, the duration may be longer or shorter depending on the client’s requirements, ability and available time. We can also customise your Pilgrimage tour according to your needs and the Gurdwaras you would like to visit.
The Sikh pilgrimage tour in Pakistan starts by arriving at Lahore airport. Your guide will meet and greet you at the airport and then transfer you to the hotel. Depending on your arrival time, if you arrive early, then afternoon lunch at a local restaurant, visit Gurdwara Dera Sahib and an orientation tour of Lahore city. 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. Night stay in Lahore, then early morning trip to Wagha border to see the flag ceremony.
The Wagha border is a transit terminal and a station between Pakistan and India. Wagah is situated 600 meters west of the border and lies on the historic Grand Trunk Road between Lahore and Amritsar in India. Afternoon visit to other Gurdwaras and the Mazar of Hazrat Mian Meer in Lahore. Overnight stay in Lahore. Today you will visit the Nankana Sahib, Gurdwara Janam Asthan of Guru Nanak Dev Jee. Nankana Sahib is a city and the 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 an overnight stay. After breakfast, you will head towards Kartarpur in Narowal. Kartarpur is located on the bank of the Ravi River. It is said to have been founded by the first guru of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, where he established the first Sikh commune.
Kartarpur is close to the India-Pakistan border. The first guru of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, founded Kartarpur in 1504 AD. The name Kartarpur means “place of God”. At the location where Guru Nanak is believed to have died, the Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib was built. After visiting Kartarpur Sahib, you will return to Lahore for a night’s stay. After breakfast, you will be heading towards Islamabad. En route, stop at Eiman Abad to visit Gurdwara Rohri Sahib and Chakki Sahib.
This area has three important historical shrines of Sikhs – Gurdwara Rori Sahib, Gurdwara Chakki Sahib and Gurdwara Khuhi Bhai Lalo. After spending the night in Islamabad, today you will travel to Hassan Abdal to visit the Panja Sahib Gurdwara. The Panja Sahib Gurdwara is considered to be particularly important as the handprint of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, is believed to be imprinted on a boulder at the Gurdwara. After visiting the holy shrines of Panja Sahib, we will return to Islamabad for an overnight stay. We will transfer you to Islamabad International Airport for your flight back home. Please make sure to book your return flight on the last day of our Pilgrimage Tour Itinerary.
Your Sikh pilgrimage Tour will conclude in Islamabad or Lahore. We strongly believe that our 4o years of experience and thoughtfully created “Sikh pilgrimage tour Pakistan” will create an amazing lifelong experience for you.
Sikh Heritage in Pakistan:
Pakistan is proud to be the cradle of Sikh heritage. After the Mughals’ downfall in the Indian sub-continent, the Sikhs took over India and ruled here for about two decades and during their era, there were a lot of new additions into 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 is 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, a 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 the 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 the 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.
Gurdwaras in Pakistan
A Gurdwara is a holy place for Sikhs where they gather for congregational worship. The foundation of the first Gurdwara was laid by Guru Nanak in 1521 at Kartarpur Sahib. The meaning of the Gurdwara word is ‘the residence of the Guru’. Sikhs believe in Gurus and the book Guru Granth Sahib. In modern times, there is no Guru in the Gurdwara, but the holy book of the Sikhs. Sikhs believe that God is present everywhere, and one should worship with the heart.
Since the Sikh rule lasted for almost a century in the sub-continent, there are hundreds of Gurdwaras 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) in collaboration with the Gurduwara Parbandhak Committee.

ACCOMMODATION
During the Sikh pilgrimage tour, you will spend all night in international tourist-standard hotels. Accommodation at each of these hotels is twin-sharing with en-suite facilities. If you are travelling by yourself, you will be paired with another single client of the same sex. It is possible to hire a single room for an additional cost. Additional hotel nights in Islamabad are also available. For hotel prices and single supplement costs, please refer to the dates and prices page of the trip on our website. Hotels are subject to availability, and prices may vary.
HEALTH & VACCINATION
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you specifically require any vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK, e.g. Malaria prophylaxis is discretionary for this trip. Malaria exists in the area around Islamabad. However, incidences of urban transmission of malaria are extremely low. Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime-biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available, and therefore, the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take precautions to avoid mosquito bites
INSURANCE
We highly recommend that you have adequate travel insurance for your trip with Trango Adventure. We recognise the complexity and variety of choices in the insurance market and know that many of you either have your preferred insurer or have annual multi-trip cover in place already.
