Buddhist pilgrimage
Sacred site visit
A Buddhist pilgrimage is a journey to sacred sites associated with the Buddha's life, teachings, or the broader Buddhist tradition.
The most venerated destinations include Bodh Gaya, where the Buddha attained enlightenment, and Lumbini, his birthplace.
Pilgrims undertake these journeys for spiritual merit, to deepen their practice, or to pay homage at temples, stupas, and monasteries.
