The Most Spiritual Places in the World to Visit

Never underestimate the power Mother Nature has over you. Georgia, nestled high in the Caucasus on the fringes of Europe and Asia, is an incredible example of that. The three-hour hike up to Gergeti Trinity Church, perched high in the Caucasus and dwarfed by towering snow-clad mountains, is biblical. Even the greatest sceptic out there would find it hard not to be moved by such a beautiful place of worship in such an unspeakably hardy location. If forest bathing is more your vibe, then Lagodekhi National Park might have a greater impact. On our trip you’ll also get to embrace the ancient local culture, from its food and wine to dining ceremonies and traditional sulphur baths. You’ll even get the chance to learn about Georgian cuisine at a chef’s actual home – a perfect example of the warm hospitality you can expect here.

Sometimes the sheer majesty of humankind’s most epic creations can inspire reflection and perspective. That’s certainly the case with Angkor Wat, considered the world’s largest religious structure, which for centuries was a place of worship for practitioners of Hinduism and later Buddhism. The grandeur is impossible to ignore, but if anything the spiritual power of this place has only increased with the overgrowth of vegetation, particularly striking in surrounding Siem Reap. Nature reclaiming the land, time taking a temple and turning it into something even more special. You’ll get to visit at sunrise on our Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam trip – an experience you will never forget.
