This network, also known as the Way of St. James, is ends in Northern Spain at Santiago de Compostela where the remains of St. James rest. Route options are as diverse as the pilgrims that walk them, though you should be prepared to walk between 7 and 30 days to complete the pilgrimage proper. For instance, one of the best hiking holidays could easily be the challenging 500 mile \u201cFrench Road\u201d trek from the French border while the more manageable route, the English Way, is the best walking holiday for those who feel more comfortable with a 74 mile jaunt across Spain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>From Barcelona to Madrid, discover the end of the camino pilgrimage on Trafalgar\u2019s <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/northern-spain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Northern Spain<\/em><\/a><em> tour.

Though the city was already a popular site for its religious significance, his death dramatically increased the number of pilgrims visiting Canterbury. It shares mostly the same route as the North Downs Way; those with restless legs can complete the largely flat trek in two weeks, stopping in bed and breakfasts or pubs to rest their soles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Visit more Christian sites on Trafalgar\u2019s <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/best-of-italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Best of Italy tour<\/em><\/a><em> which includes a visit to Vatican City.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read next:<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/bucket-list-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Bucket-list worthy events around the world including St. Patrick\u2019s Day in Ireland.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-char-dham-yatra-india\">Char Dham Yatra | India<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/08\/3.-rahul-mishra-MoKhIYds-6A-unsplash-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Pilgrims in Uttarakhand on the river Ganges, india \" class=\"wp-image-874327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3.-rahul-mishra-MoKhIYds-6A-unsplash-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3.-rahul-mishra-MoKhIYds-6A-unsplash-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3.-rahul-mishra-MoKhIYds-6A-unsplash-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3.-rahul-mishra-MoKhIYds-6A-unsplash.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Linking together four holy temples, the Char Dham Yatra is one of the most popular pilgrimages in India. For Hindus to attain absolute peace of mind, they must complete a pilgrimage to sacred places in Uttarakhand: Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, and Kedarnath. This is actually a modified version of the original Char Dham Yatra, which included the sites Puri, Dwarka, Badrinath, and Rameshwaram, all located in four separate corners of India. It\u2019s one of the best walking holidays in India, even for those who don\u2019t practice Hinduism, as it literally immerses travelers in Hindu culture through purifying in the River Ganges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read next:<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/experience-differentreligions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Experience different religions, like Hinduism in India, with Tafalgar\u2019s tours.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adam-s-peak-sri-lanka\">Adam\u2019s Peak | Sri Lanka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/08\/4.-Adams-peak-chamika-jayasri-ggl1vlNPPTo-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"View from adams peak at sunset, Sri Lanka\" class=\"wp-image-874328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/4.-Adams-peak-chamika-jayasri-ggl1vlNPPTo-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/4.-Adams-peak-chamika-jayasri-ggl1vlNPPTo-unsplash-330x248.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/4.-Adams-peak-chamika-jayasri-ggl1vlNPPTo-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/4.-Adams-peak-chamika-jayasri-ggl1vlNPPTo-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the island of Sri Lanka, elephants, tea estates, and a tropical rainforest surround the base of Adam\u2019s Peak. Though not the tallest mountain in the country, Adam\u2019s Peak, also called Sri Pada or the Holy Footprint, is considered sacred by followers of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. Even the indigenous inhabitants of the country once worshiped the peak, so it\u2019s no surprise that people from all walks of life are welcome to scale Sri Lanka\u2019s fifth-highest peak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most begin the climb at night so that they can reach the peak at daybreak. December through May is when you\u2019ll find most travelers making the pilgrimage, and although the crowds may deter you, it\u2019s recommended. The high season is when the 5,000+ steps are illuminated and all-night tea shops open their doors to tired travelers tackling the trek. But if you\u2019re feeling your best on this walking holiday and your calves are game, you can take even longer routes to the top from Dalhousie or Palabaddale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read next:<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/trip-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Everything you need to know about planning a trip to Israel<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maximize your adventure in Asia by adding a night in Hiroshima and Takayama Festival celebration to our 13 day <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/tours\/splendours-of-japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Splendors of Japan tour<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mount-kailash-pilgrimage-tibet\">Mount Kailash Pilgrimage | Tibet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Adam\u2019s Peak pilgrimage requires an uphill journey, the Mount Kailash pilgrimage in Tibet prohibits such a climb. Mt. Kailash is considered a holy mountain in multiple religions, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism. Hindus believe that the god Shiva lives atop the peak and Buddists believe the mountain is the navel of the universe. Instead of climbing the mountain, pilgrims respect the mountain\u2019s sacred status and honor it by completing a 32-mile walk around it. Although the hike is generally on the same altitude level and terrain, there are few amenities surrounding it beyond monasteries. Mount Kailash is difficult to access, requires permits to hike, and closes periodically because of political, health, and safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See more of the world\u2019s most awe-inspiring mountains when you join Trafalgar\u2019s <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/switzerland-and-austria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Switzerland and Austria tour<\/em><\/a><em>.
