I have had two pilgrimage/meditation visits.
The first was to Gosse’s Bluff, NT Australia where according to Aboriginal myth life came to earth.
The second was to circulate Mt. Kailas in western Tibet. This is a 2500 year traditional Hindu
Buddyhist/Jain/Bon tradition.
There have been less extensive ones to site in Europe and Egypt and Middle East, but they were also tourist in nature.
