"I was spending the next four days with the British Pilgrimage Trust, a new movement bringing pilgrimages back to Britain.

The ministry of tourism has launched the infrastructural development project of the Buddhist circuit as India’s first transnational tourist circuit.
"An example of a similar effort is found in Spain, which has the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Camino de Santiago—478 miles of Catholic pilgrimage that ends at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, the supposed final resting place of James the Apostle. This route sees over 200,000 pilgrims per year. Also, the Japanese have the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, an extensive Buddhist pilgrimage that spans over 750 miles and is colloquially called ‘The Way of the 88 Temples’."
