The Historical Gurdwaras located in Pakistan are an essential part of Sikhism and form an important part of the history of Sikhism. In fact the Sikh religion was founded in the part of the world which is now called Pakistan. The Punjab was divided only in 1947 when the separate nations of India and Pakistan were formed. Prior to this period, the whole of the area covered by the two countries was one nation.

A significant part of Sikh history is linked to places that are now in Pakistan including the village Nankana Sahib where Guru Nanak Dev the founder of Sikh was born. The following is a brief list of the important places that are linked to Sikh history:

Note; According to allaboutsikhs.com there are around 195 Gurdwaras across Pakistan. Currently we have articles on only 126 gurdwaras of Pakistan.
