The journey offers an intimate glimpse of some of the world’s holiest sites and allows travelers access to communities, cultures and monuments rarely explored by tourists. Among the sites to be visited are:
* Lhasa, Tibet – Located on one of the highest plateaus on Earth, Potala, “Buddha’s Mountain” was the site chosen for the world’s largest Buddhist monastery and chief residence of the Dalai Lama.
* Varanasi, India – Hinduism, the world’s oldest major religion, has as its hub the holy city of Varanasi on the banks of the sacred Ganges River. Over the past 3,000 years, Hindus have come to Varanasi to wash away their sins in the Ganges. Daily life is suffused with the chant of priests, the sound of temple bells and the fragrance of flowers and incense. Travelers experience this holy site with a private boat ride down the river.

* Bethlehem & Jerusalem, Israel, Travelers will get an intimate glimpse of the Church of the Nativity, the birthplace of Jesus, and Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
