This is the Yakki Gate of walled city which was once known as the Zakki Gate. The gate was one of the thirteen gates of the Walled City of Lahore which were built during the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar. A 30-feet high fortified wall was constructed along with the gates which gave entrance to the city.

This gate is one of those gates which was the mein internces of Lahore

It is old Lahore, it is heart if Lahore and its culture. Although it doesnt have remaining of historical gate and related buildings, yet have old look and feel.

Lahore gate is great masterpiece of architecture.

Awsome place

Out of the thirteen gates of the Walled City of Lahore the Zakki Gate, on the eastern side, has a history of its own that is bit astonishing and unusual as well. The gate was constructed during the third Mughal Emperor Akbar’s reign when he built the thirty feet high defense wall around the city with thirteen gates. This gate was demolished during the British Raj and was not reconstructed but the graves of Pir Zakki along with some other graves still exist there. This gate was built next to Delhi Gate and till now, any street inside the Yakki Gate can lead you to the Royal Trail of Delhi Gate in just few turns. One can also reach the huge monuments like 17th century Shahi Hammam and Wazir Khan Mosque by entering the Yakki Gate and walking through the narrowest streets. It is an astounding tangled network of streets and one is awe stunned while sauntering through them. A direct path from Yakki Gate will also chauffeur you to Sheranwala Ghatti (slope), the famous Bangla Ayub Shah, Kashmiri Ghatti (slope), Haveli of Jamadaar Khush’hal Singh, Mariam Zamani Mosque and Akbari Gate of Lahore Fort. This is one of the interesting tourist routes but not much exposed. This one trail links you with the Sheranwala and Kashmiri and Masti Gate. It’s an amazing experience for any tourist and trust me it’s mesmerizing

Good place

Its a beautiful place to live

Best for breakfast

I just visited as business relationship.

Good place but streets are very narrow and conservative. As well as narrow houses. But as a historical place of walled city it has a great presence. Most of people still likes to live here because every necessary of life is available at door steps. Many old buildings are reconstructed here. Every time traffic jam appears here. But overall its good and economic place to live and business.

Historical place. Should be explored

Its old historical stuff

Once you enter inside this gate you would see two graves of the same saint there. The tale narrated by history books and locals says that Pir Zaki and his followers died fighting the Mongol invaders who wanted to take over the city. They fought with their lives to save the city and during the riots, Pir Zakki was killed. The story says that Pir Zaki was beheaded, while fighting with the Mongols, but his headless body kept on fighting Mongols for a few meters or so. I have never heard such a story in my life and I was thrilled by it. This is the reason behind two graves of the same person. The head and body were buried in different graves and both graves are respected to this day. As you visit the area of Yakki Gate, you can ask anyone about the graves. His burial chamber is a few steps from the city and in front of it there is the famous Madina Mosque. The second tale implies that during the Mughal era the transport of the nobility was the one person carriage or Yakkas (known as in local language). These used to be parked outside this gate so it came to be known as the Yakki Gate.You must be thinking why the name changed from Zakki to Yakki. This is another entrancing story. With the passage of time the name of this gate was distorted. As the sound of letter ‘z’ (zee) is still interchangeable with the letter ‘Y’ (Ya) in local language of the region, it became Yakki Gate instead of Zakki Gate over a certain period of time. As the generations passed, among the Lahoris and historians it became known as Yakki Gate and now it is the same called and written by historian and people.
