Our story.

MySikhYatra is a global Sikh heritage Yatra company, registered in New Zealand, with strong roots in Pakistan and deep connections to Sikh community and heritage, created to connect Sikh travellers around the world with the sacred places of Sikh history in Pakistan. We welcome Yatris from New Zealand and Australia to Canada, the UAE, Singapore and the wider Sikh diaspora, and help them travel with greater understanding, connection and care.

We combine pilgrimage, learning, culture and community in one experience, rather than treating a sacred journey as an itinerary with a religious detour attached to it.

You can join our December 2026 group, plan a Yatra on dates you choose, or book your place for Gurupurab 2027. Whichever way you travel, your journey receives the same attention, care and quality.

Who you travel with

Rooted in community, experienced in travel.

MySikhYatra brings together people who have spent years connecting Sikh travellers with the places at the heart of their history. Our team combines community leadership in Pakistan, heritage education expertise and long experience of organising journeys across borders.

Trusted by Pakistan's Sikh community

Our team includes the President of the Sikhs in Pakistan Sewa Society, a member of the Chief Minister of Punjab's Advisory Council on Minority Affairs and Human Rights, and a member of the District Peace Committee in Nankana Sahib.

Grounded in heritage education

Team members bring more than 15 years of experience in heritage education and in managing educational and cultural trips. One has worked as a consultant on a UNESCO heritage education project on religious tourism in Pakistan, including its Gurdwaras.

Experienced with Sikh Yatris

In recent years, members of our team have managed more than 10 journeys to Pakistan for Sikh Yatris from the USA, Canada, the UK and beyond. They have also led educational and cultural trips abroad for young people and community leaders, and have travelled to more than 30 countries, so they understand the expectations and practical details that matter most.

Licensed and accredited travel support

Travel arrangements are handled with our collaborator and logistics partner, an established travel company based in Lahore whose leadership brings more than 20 years of experience in tourism.

  • DTS licensed operator
  • IATA accredited ticketing agent

What travelling with us actually means.

  • Considered, not rushed.

    Every itinerary is paced around the significance of each place, not the convenience of a schedule.

  • Small by design.

    Small groups, well organised, so that every traveller receives real attention, not a seat on a bus.

  • Direct and transparent.

    You hear from us directly, in plain language, at every stage of planning your journey.

  • Built on understanding.

    Faith, history and culture are treated as one experience, not three separate add-ons.
