journey's end

Where travelers arrive

Journey's end is the destination or final point of a trip, often used figuratively for death or the conclusion of any long endeavor.

The phrase carries a sense of culmination after sustained effort or passage: After years of searching, she had reached her journey's end.

It appears in literary and reflective contexts more than everyday speech.
