India is set to host 108 Buddhist pilgrims from South Korea celebrating the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
The tourists will visit Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India and subsequently move to Nepal.
Ministry of Information and Broadcasting secretary Apurva Chandra on Monday announced that 108 Buddhist pilgrims from South Korea will walk over 1,100 km over a period of 43 days as part of a walking pilgrimage organised by the Sangwol Society of South Korea.
The circuit aims to help tourists experience first-hand teachings of Lord Buddha and trace his footsteps during his lifetime.
The sites to be covered during the pilgrimage span the life of Buddha from his birth to his Parinirvana.
The slogan of the pilgrimage is ‘Oh, We! Oh, Love! Oh, Life!‘, the pilgrimage.
