A walking pilgrimage through Buddhist circuit to mark 50 years of India-South Korea diplomatic ties

A group of 108 Buddhist monks from South Korea will walk over 1,100 kilometres in the next 43 days — from February 9 to March 23 — tracing the Buddha’s footsteps and life journey in India.

The walking pilgrimage will begin from Sarnath in Varanasi and culminate at Shravasti after traversing through Nepal.

Organised by Sangwol Society of South Korea, the pilgrimage also marks 50 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
“The occasion gains importance as India and South Korea celebrate 50 years of establishing diplomatic ties,” said Apurva Chandra, secretary of the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry.
The pilgrimage aims to increase friendship and collaboration between the two countries. The tourists will visit Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India and subsequently move to Nepal to see Buddha’s birthplace in Lumbini.
