The Kartarpur Sahib Corridor connects the Dera Baba Nanak Sahib in India to the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan, providing Indian Sikh pilgrims access to the holy site without requiring a visa.

Amritsar is a city located in the northwestern state of Punjab in India. The city is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and mouth-watering cuisine. Well, when I research the city, I like to go a little too deep where I lose the plot, so, since I did lose it here we go! Amritsar was founded in the 16th century by Guru Ram Das, the fourth Sikh Guru. The city has played a significant role in Sikh history and is home to several historic gurdwaras and monuments, including the Jallianwala Bagh, which is a memorial to the victims of a tragic massacre. It is home to the Golden Temple, the most sacred site for the Sikh community and one of the most visited religious sites in the world.
