Kartarpur is a town in Punjab, Pakistan, located in the tehsil Shakargarh, District Narowal. It is supposed to have been created by the first guru of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, who built the first Sikh commune, on the right bank of the Ravi River. However, it’s a visa-free border crossing and religious corridor that connects Pakistan's Gurdwara Darbar Sahib with India's Gurudwara Dera Baba Nanak. Without a visa, worshippers from India can visit the gurdwara at Kartarpur, Pakistan, which is about 4.7 kilometers (2.9 miles) from the India–Pakistan border. Pakistani Sikhs, on the other hand, are unable to use the border crossing and cannot visit Dera Baba Nanak on the Indian side unless they first get an Indian visa or work there.
