Nankana Sahib District is an administrative region located in eastern Punjab, comprising multiple towns and rural areas that form part of the Lahore Division. The district includes several communities and settlements spread across its territory, serving as a significant area in the broader Punjab province.
History
The district was established in 2005 when it separated from Sheikhupura District to become its own administrative division. This division aimed to strengthen local governance and support development efforts across the region.

Practical
The region is easily accessible from larger cities and welcomes visitors throughout the year, with some seasons being quieter than others. You can explore both religious sites and rural areas while visiting the district.
