Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus, was an exceptional spiritual leader whose teachings continue to inspire millions worldwide. One of the most distinctive aspects of his life was his extensive travels, covering over 28,000 kilometres between 1500 and 1524. As a mystic and wanderer, he journeyed to far-flung places to spread his message of love, equality, and devotion to the divine.
