Gurdwara Nada Sahib is a revered Sikh shrine located on the banks of the Ghaggar River at Nada village near Panchkula, Haryana, at the foothills of the Shivalik Hills.

Visitors can attend prayers, listen to kirtan, partake in langar, and explore the riverside surroundings.

Gurdwara Nada Sahib commemorates the visit of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru, in 1688 after the Battle of Bhangani. While travelling from Paonta Sahib, the Guru halted at the village of Nada on the banks of the Ghaggar River. A devotee named Nadu Shah Labana served the Guru and his followers, and the Guru blessed him, after which the place came to be known as Nada Sahib. The shrine was later developed to mark this historic halt.

The gurdwara is a significant Sikh pilgrimage centre and a symbol of seva (selfless service) and equality through its langar tradition open to all. It hosts large congregations, especially on full moon days, and serves as an important religious and community centre for devotees from Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh region.
