Kartarpur Corridor opens: Here's all you need to know

After years of back and forth, delays and a final agreement, the Kartarpur Corridor, connecting the Sikh shrines of Dera Baba Nanak Sahib in India and Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan, was opened on Saturday.

Once the pilgrim enters from India into Pakistan, they would walk or take a 370-metre bus ride to get to the border terminal. At the border terminal, they will first be required to pay a $20 fee first to the National Bank of Pakistan officials in exchange for a slip. Next, they will go to one of the 76 counters, get their fingerprints scanned, and be given an RFID , which is required for entry into the gurudwara.

Once they are through with the process of RFID and immigration, the pilgrim will have the option to walk 4 kilometres from the terminal to the gurudwara or take the electric carts which are provided by the government of Pakistan. The registration takes around 3-5 minutes.
