Vacations are fun, but many people also want to travel for a deeper purpose. Travel for Spiritual Growth can include yoga retreats, meditation retreats or pilgrimages. Yoga and meditation retreats are available in many parts of the world and they include short yoga vacations for beginners or long retreats for experienced practitioners. Many yoga students also travel to India to find authentic local teachers or to stay in an ashram. Meditation retreats are increasingly popular and they range from short weekends to several weeks of silent meditation.
Spiritual travel can include visits to holy sites or it can involve touring important pilgrimage routes. India and Nepal are popular destinations for pilgrimages, but there are holy sites and pilgrimage destinations in many other countries too. There is a wide variety of options for spiritual travel, and many travel agents arrange package tours that involve a spiritual theme.
