There are many sacred gurdwaras of Sikhism in Pakistan, which are also quite popular. Thousands of Sikh pilgrims visit these gurdwaras. But today, I am starting to mention 6 famous and holy gurdwaras.
1.Nankana Sahib
Nankana Sahib is the most important religious site of the Sikh religion. The city of Nankana Sahib is named after the first Guru of the Sikh religion. (Guru Nanak) Guru Nanak was born in this city and first started preaching from this city.

Nankana Sahib is the capital of Nankana Sahib, a city in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Nankana Sahib is located 91 km west of Lahore, the famous city of Pakistan, and 75 km east of another famous city, Faisalabad.
Nankana Sahib till 2005 Sheikhupura district remained apart. According to the 2017 census, the total population of Nankana Sahib was 79,540.

The old name of Nankana Sahib city was Rai Boi, which a Hindu man gave. But after the birth of Guru Nanak, his grandfather Rai Blair Bhatti changed the city's name to Nankana Sahib.
Gurdwara Nankana Sahib, built around 1600 AD, was built by the Jain Punjab Maharaja in 1819–20 AD.
2. Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur
Gurdwara is Also called Kartarpur Sahib. Kartarpur Gurdwara is located in Shakargarh, Narowal District, Punjab Province, Pakistan.

This place is one of the fascinating places of the Sikh religion (Golden Temple in Amritsar and Gurdwara Janam Astana in Nankana Sahib). This Gurdwara is located five kilometers from the Indo-Pak border.
A few years ago, the government of Pakistan formally allowed Indian Sikh pilgrims to obtain extraordinary visas to visit the shrine in Pakistan.
Let me clarify here that the Gurdwara covers a vast area of 42 acres. The Sikhs claim that this gurdwara is the largest in the world.
According to the 2020 census, 59,318 Sikh pilgrims visited the gurdwara.
3.Gurdwara Panja Sahib
Gurdwara Panja Sahib is a famous Sikh Gurdwara.
This Gurdwara is located in Hassan Abdal, Pakistan. This Gurdwara is especially important. This is believed to be because the handprints of Guru Nanak, the guru of the Sikh religion, are inscribed on a stone of the Gurdwara.
In the summer of 1521 AD, Guru Nanak arrived at Hassan Abdal with his brother Mardana. According to Sikh mythology, Guru Nanak's handprints were found on a stone. The Gurdwara was built by Hari Singh Nalwa, the most famous Sikh general.
And named the Gurdwara Panja Sahib. (Because of Guru Nanak's handprint) The area of the Gurdwara is 396 yards.
Two-storied rooms have been built around the gurdwara. Many rooms are also built underground, and outside the gurdwara, there are shops on three sides.
Every year in April, thousands of Sikh pilgrims from all over the world, especially from India, visit Panja Sahib at the "Besakhi" festival.
About 3,000 Sikh pilgrims from India and about 1,500 pilgrims from other countries have participated in the festival. If all the pilgrims are included, the number of pilgrims becomes about ten to twelve thousand.

4. Gurdwara Dera Sahib
Gurdwara Dera Sahib is located in Lahore, a famous city in Pakistan. This Gurdwara is built on the Samadhi of Guru Arjun Dev, the fifth Guru of Sikhism.
According to Sikh history, Guru was imprisoned in Lahore Fort in 1606 AD. To this day, the mystery of Guru Arjun's death has not been resolved. Mughal historians, therefore, called the execution of Guru Arjan a political event.
Because the Sikhs were active and gaining strength in politics and conflict.

5. Gurdwara R0rri Sahib
Gurdwara Rowari Sahib is a holy place for Sikhs. Gurdwara Rori Sahib is located in Aymanabad, a small town in Gujranwala, Pakistan.
According to local tradition, Guru Nanak lived with his brother Lalu after the destruction of the city. The pebbles where the gurus sit are called (small stones) (rori in Punjabi).
The gurdwara is built in place of pebbles. The town is small but sacred to the Sikhs because Guru Nanak visited here twice during his travels. At that time (1510), the name of this area was Saidpur.

6.Gurdwara Sacha Sauda
Dera Sacha Sauda is a village in Farooqabad, next to the city of Sheikhpura in Pakistan. There is also a gurdwara. The Gurdwara is a magnificent building.
The Gurdwara was built to commemorate an event in the life of Sikh Guru Nanak Dev. It is said that Baba Guru Nanak was given Rs. 20 by his mother for work.
Babaji donated money at the same place and came home.
Mom asked: "What about money?" Answered: "I've made a real deal, give alms."
A gurdwara was built in this place, and it was called Sacha Sauda.
