Eminabad is an ancient town in the Gujranwala district of Punjab, Pakistan. It is one of the historic stops on the Sikh pilgrimage circuit and is remembered in Sikh tradition for its connection with the travels of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. For Sikh yatris who want to experience the quieter, older side of Punjab, Eminabad is a meaningful and memorable destination.

What Is Eminabad?

Eminabad is a small historic town not far from the Grand Trunk Road. With its old streets, traditional houses and village surroundings, it still carries the look and feel of old Punjab. The pace of life here is slow and peaceful, which makes it a good place for reflection and prayer.

Why Eminabad Is Important for Sikhs

He is remembered here for staying with Bhai Lalo, a humble carpenter, an example of the Sikh belief that honest earnings and simple living are more valuable than wealth. For many pilgrims, this story is the heart of a visit to Eminabad.
