The experience

How do you get from Lahore to Nankana Sahib without arranging your own transport? This tour handles the drive: a licensed, experienced driver picks you up from your hotel or a point you choose, then takes the motorway north. The journey takes about 90 minutes and passes through rice fields and open country. You'll see the Ravi River, which marks the border between India and Pakistan, and Shahdara Bagh across the water: a walled precinct holding the Tomb of Jahangir, the Akbari Sarai, and other monuments from the Mughal era. The vehicle is air-conditioned and sized to your group, so the ride is comfortable regardless of whether you're traveling alone or with others.

Once you reach Nankana Sahib, the guided portion begins. Nankana Sahib is the birthplace of Guru Nanak, the first Guru of the Sikhs, and the most important religious site in Sikhism. Your guide (speaking English or Urdu, whichever you prefer) leads you through the Gurdwara for around four hours. The guide is included. So is bottled water and all entry fees and taxes. After the guided tour ends, the driver takes you back to Lahore and returns you to your original pickup point.
