Welcome to our 2027 Buddhist Pilgrimage!
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual journey to the sacred places where the Buddha was born, attained Enlightenment, delivered His first sermon, and entered Parinibbāna. This pilgrimage offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Buddha's life and teachings while meditating at many of Buddhism's most revered sites. We are especially honored to have a Walk of Peace Venerable accompanying our group throughout the pilgrimage, offering spiritual guidance, meditation, Dhamma reflections, and the rare opportunity to experience these sacred places alongside an experienced monastic. Travelers participating in the complete pilgrimage should plan to arrive in Bangkok, Thailand by February 8, 2027, in time for our group departure to India on February 9, 2027. The tour concludes in Bangkok on February 26, 2027, so return flights should be scheduled for February 26th or later.

Option 1: Join the Complete Buddhist Pilgrimage & Thai Cultural Tour from February 9–26, exploring the sacred Buddhist sites of India and Nepal before continuing to Thailand for the Magha Puja celebration and cultural tour.
