However, the reality at spiritual sites in 2026 might disillusion you. Thousands of tourists are falling into the trap of industrial pilgrimage tours: Tour guides (TGs) with severely lacking Buddhist knowledge, only talking about soulless record numbers; widespread price gouging for offerings and incidental rituals; and worse, old, smoky cars that turn a journey to tranquility into an exhausting \"ordeal.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt HDV Local, we don't consider pilgrimage as a regular tour business.
