How to Reach questions
Why is Anandpur Sahib so important to Sikhs?
It is where Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa on Baisakhi in 1699, a foundational moment in Sikh history, and its shrine, Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, is one of the five takhts, the highest seats of temporal authority in the faith. That makes it one of Sikhism's holiest towns.
What etiquette should I observe at the shrines?
Cover your head, remove your shoes, and wash your feet at the entrance; dress modestly and behave quietly and respectfully. Alcohol, tobacco, and meat are not permitted within the sacred precincts. Visitors of all faiths are welcome, and our guides brief every detail beforehand.
Should I plan around Hola Mohalla?
Hola Mohalla, in March, is a spectacular festival of Nihang martial display and devotion, but it draws immense crowds and requires far-ahead planning. If you want the atmosphere, we arrange it carefully; if you prefer calm, we schedule around it.
