Pakistan is a custodian of some of the most sacred Shrines and religious heritages of Sikh, Buddhist, and Hindu religions and proudly offers a great opportunity for religious tourism to common tourists and religious devotees from across the world, especially India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan.

As Pakistan is the home of refugees and asylum seekers from many different foreign countries, it has become a point of interest to many people of different cultural backgrounds. It is a fact that Pakistan’s official national religion is Islam, and about 97% of the people in Pakistan follow Islam. But there are people of many other belief systems who have made this country their home. The most visited shrines are those which belong to Sufi saints. There are also many Sikh gurdwara s that are very popular with visitors who come here to pay homage to their local religious figures. There is also a large number of Hindu temples as well as Christian churches within the country which may be visited during your stay here in Pakistan.

Pakistan has unlimited prospects for religious tourism in the country. However, there is an urgent need for the development of the infrastructure, provision of essential facilities, foolproof security, and a tourism-friendly environment in the country, so tourists across the globe can visit Pakistan in a peaceful and secure environment.
