Overview

Designed for Sikh families and sangat travelling from Canada, the UK and the US, this yatra visits the gurdwaras most closely linked to Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

What guests say

We had dreamed of Nankana Sahib our whole lives. Safarnama took care of everything, and our guide even found the village my grandfather left in 1947. We cried the whole drive back.
