Spiritual tourism vs religious tourism highlights two distinct travel experiences within India’s Sanatan tradition. Religious tourism focuses on visiting temples, sacred sites, and rituals for devotion, worship, and seeking divine blessings. In contrast, spiritual tourism involves inner exploration, meditation, yoga, and self-discovery, often at ashrams or nature retreats, aiming for peace and enlightenment. While both enrich the traveler, religious tourism centers on external practices and faith, spiritual tourism emphasizes personal transformation and inner harmony, blending devotion with introspection.
