Overview

The Journey of Faith offers a unique opportunity to explore two of Pakistan’s significant cities, renowned for their cultural and historical significance – Lahore, the cultural hub, and Islamabad, the capital city. Along this spiritual odyssey, pilgrims and visitors have the chance to immerse themselves in the sanctity of two revered religious sites nestled between Lahore and Islamabad.

The Ketasraj temples, situated in the Jhelum district at Ketas, hold special significance as the second holiest places for Hindus. Steeped in history, these temples are believed to predate the era of Christ. Dedicated to deities such as Shev Jee, Kali Mata, and Hanuman Jee, they overlook a lake said to have formed from the tear of Lord Shiva, creating a serene and spiritually charged atmosphere.

Moving towards Hassanabdal, Punja Sahib stands as a holy center for Sikhism, located approximately 48 km from Islamabad. This Gurdwara is revered for a rock bearing the handprint of Guru Nanak, adding a profound spiritual dimension to the site. Pilgrims from the Sikh community consider this place sacred, making it an integral part of their religious journey.

In addition to the religious sites, the itinerary includes visits to the vibrant cities of Lahore, providing a glimpse into the cultural richness of the region. Furthermore, the exploration extends to the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, offering a well-rounded experience of Pakistan’s history, culture, and contemporary life.

Commencing and concluding in Lahore, this journey caters not only to the local faithful but also extends a warm invitation to international tourists, including those visiting from India. For the latter, the option to add a four-day tour to explore the holy places in the historic cities of Pakistan enhances the richness of this spiritual pilgrimage, fostering cultural exchange and a deeper understanding of the shared heritage between nations.
