Walking & Wheelchair Accessibility

Walking Requirements

When traveling internationally on a pilgrimage, it's important to understand the physical demands of the journey, including walking, commuting, and visiting various sacred sites.

• Daily Activity: While each day varies, a general guideline is to expect 3-4 hours of walking or standing per day. Please note, this is an average estimate and can vary based on the day's itinerary.

• Rest Breaks: If you find yourself needing additional rest, don't hesitate to inform your tour leader. They are equipped to suggest the best times and places for rest, ensuring you have a comfortable experience.

• Expectations and Challenges: International destinations have landscapes that may pose challenges for wheelchair users, including uneven streets and limited ramp access at certain historical sites. It's important to be prepared for these challenges.
