Best Answer

Sikhism as a religion is opposed to pilgrimages, therefore there is no pilgrimage. Sikhs do visits old Gurudwaras(Sikh place of worship) as it hold importance to Sikh history and thus help a Sikh to relate to its origin and development. But there is no pilgrimage in Sikhism nor there is any holiday or Holy place.
