India Today
With the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor reopening after a year-and-a-half, here's all you need to know about the pilgrimage, its significance and Covid rules for travellers.
Ahead of the reopening of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor for "Holy Darshan" on Wednesday, India and Pakistan have agreed to allow only fully vaccinated individuals to undertake the pilgrimage. This means that all pilgrims will have to carry a negative RT-PCR report and Covid-19 vaccination certificates.
The Kartarpur Sahib Corridor links Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan, the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev, to the Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Punjab's Gurdaspur district. Kartarpur is located on the west bank of river Ravi where Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, spent the last 18 years of his life.
