Hindu Pilgrimage Tours to Sacred Sites of Pakistan
Pakistan is home to some of the most sacred places in Hinduism. Hinglaj Mata in Balochistan is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, the pond of Katas Raj is linked to the tears of Lord Shiva, and Sindh is home to a large Hindu community with living temples, festivals and pilgrimages that go back centuries.
Our Hindu pilgrimage tours visit these places with respect and care. We plan time for darshan, puja and aarti, arrange vegetarian meals, work with local temple communities, and handle all permits and transport, so you can focus on your yatra.

How to Plan a Hindu Pilgrimage in Pakistan
Which yatra is right for you?
For Lord Shiva, choose Katas Raj, ideally at Maha Shivratri. For the Goddess, choose the Hinglaj Mata Yatra. To meet living Hindu communities, choose the Sindh or Thar tours. For family heritage in Punjab, choose the Punjab Hindu Temples Tour.
Festivals and seasons
Most of our Hindu pilgrimage tours are best from November to March, avoiding the summer heat. The main Hinglaj yatra is held in spring, Maha Shivratri usually falls in February or March, and Holi and Diwali are celebrated in the temples of Sindh. Read our guide to the best time to visit Pakistan.
Visas for pilgrims
We provide a Letter of Invitation for most nationalities; see our Pakistan visa guide. Indian pilgrims usually travel under the government pilgrim protocol between India and Pakistan, and we can advise on the process.
Permits and safety
Some areas, such as Hinglaj in Balochistan and Nagarparkar near the border, need extra permission or a police escort. We check current advice and arrange everything before you travel. Travel insurance is essential; read our travel insurance policy.
