Sikh Heritage Sites in Lahore & Nankana Sahib: A Car Rental Guide

A guide to visiting Sikh heritage sites in Lahore and Nankana Sahib by private car — Gurdwara Dera Sahib, Samadhi of Ranjit Singh, Gurdwara Janam Asthan, and more.

Lahore was the capital of the Sikh Empire under Maharaja Ranjit Singh and remains home to gurdwaras and monuments of deep significance for Sikh visitors. This guide covers how to plan the itinerary, what transport works best for different group sizes, and the sites worth building time around.

Key Sites in Lahore City

The two most visited Sikh sites within Lahore itself are the Samadhi of Maharaja Ranjit Singh — directly next to Lahore Fort, so easily paired with the Fort and Badshahi Mosque on the same day — and Gurdwara Dera Sahib, marking the martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev Ji, which sits inside the Walled City.

Nankana Sahib (Gurdwara Janam Asthan)

The birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji is 80 km from central Lahore via Sheikhupura — roughly 90 minutes each way. Most pilgrims dedicate a full half-day or complete day to Nankana Sahib rather than rushing it as a final stop on a full Lahore city itinerary.

Group Sizes & Vehicle Options

Individual or small family pilgrimages suit a sedan or Toyota Corolla; groups of 6–13 are best served by the Hiace; larger jathas of 14–40 need the Grand Cabin or Coaster. We have transported jathas of up to 45 people across multiple vehicles on coordinated schedules.

SAARC Visa & Pilgrimage Visa Arrivals

For visitors arriving on pilgrimage visas or under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme, we provide airport meet-and-greet with a driver familiar with the documentation process and gurdwara entry protocol.
