What you need to know: The Kartarpur corridor is a visa-free border that allows Indian Sikhs to visit Guru Nanak’s tomb, which is just 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) within Pakistan. The corridor reopened in 2019 to commemorate Nanak’s 550th birthday, but was forced to close due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. The corridor links Pakistani and Indian Punjab, the birthplace of Sikhism, which was partitioned after the two countries gained independence from Britain in 1947. 
The shrine’s history: The shrine was built to mark Guru Nanak’s final 18 years of life spent there. After Gurdwara Janam Asthan in Pakistan, the place where Guru Nanak was born, Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur is regarded as the second holiest shrine for Sikhism. The holy place was originally established in 1925, but it was destroyed due to heavy flooding. Later, in 2004, the Pakistani government restored it.
