Travelling for Pilgrimage in India in the month of October
A visit to a pilgrim is an evolving journey in itself. People from around the globe of all faiths make a pilgrimage, often to a shrine or place of significance, to experience spiritual enlightenment and understanding of the universe. A pilgrimage is far from exclusively for religious inducement. People make pilgrimages to understand the gravitas of that place, self-discovery, to embrace the ancient art and architecture, meet new people and make memories, and to enjoy local ambience and food.
Travelling within your country is always a great option before moving out to an international destination. You get to save on a lot of budget most of the times and also save on a lot of travelling time. Also, you don’t need to worry much about the food, the climate or the culture. And India being the land of heritages, history, culture and geography will never fail to suprise you with its charm.
The month of October is all about festivities, family time, food, fun and frolic. This year, try something different and celebrate the festivals away from home, but not away from your loved ones. Plan a festive holiday and start making memories.
