Highlighting its rich Sikh heritage, the Walled City of Lahore is home to significant Gurdwaras and Janam Asthans. Breaking new ground in heritage exploration, the Walled City of Lahore Authority has spearheaded Religious Tourism, focusing on these Sikh Heritage Sites. This distinctive tour, conducted monthly on a Sunday, delves into Sikh history and culture, including visits to the Janam Asthan of Guru Ram Das, Gurdwara Guru Arjan Dev Ji, and the Samadhis of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh and others, enriched by the narratives of a Sikh tour guide.

In response to public interest, the Walled City of Lahore Authority launched a tour in 2019 to the historically and culturally rich Bhatti and Taxali Gates, now a regular monthly event. Bhatti Gate is known for its literary significance, while Taxali Gate is famed for its vibrant Red-Light area. The tour, led by trained guides, traverses the intriguing lanes of these gates, featuring cultural performances, traditional music, and local cuisine, offering an immersive experience into the life and arts of Bhatti and Taxali Gates.

Inspired by the globally celebrated Lahori breakfast, the Walled City of Lahore Authority created a special 'Nashta' tour along the historic Royal Trail. This culinary tour treats tourists to a lavish local breakfast in the scenic Chowk Wazir Khan, serving as the perfect end to a morning's exploration of the city's quaint streets and neighbourhoods.

To showcase the unique nocturnal charm of Androon Lahore, the WCLA introduced the 'Roshan Galiyan Androon Di' tour in 2022. This experience goes beyond mere sightseeing, immersing tourists in the cultural vibrancy of old Lahore's night life. The tour features traditional performances, local hospitality, and a captivating qawwali performance, offering a deep dive into the spirited evening atmosphere of Lahore every Sunday night.

In the pursuit of capturing the spirit of the Walled City of Lahore, the Walled City of Lahore Authority initiated what would soon become a highly popular phenomenon across Pakistan—Photographic Journeys. This innovative voyage commenced in 2012 with WCLA launching its first photography walk along the Royal Trail. The aim was to invite photographers from across the nation to immerse themselves in the historical richness of this age-old city. Now, this event stands as an annual fixture in WCLA's calendar, attracting thousands of photographers to these engaging photographic journeys every year. WCLA prides itself on leading photographers through each gateway, hidden alcove, and undiscovered crevice of the Walled City of Lahore, making it one of the most anticipated occasions in the cultural diary. Initially, these walks attracted mainly DSLR enthusiasts, but as technology advanced, smartphone photographers too have swelled the ranks, adding to the diverse array of viewpoints these journeys present.
