π India's spiritual tourism goes luxury ποΈ
A recent flood devastated the area around Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, where a couple was recently on pilgrimage. Religious tourism in India is booming, with costs per trip often around βΉ50,000 or much higher for luxury options. This growth is fueled by government infrastructure push, rising religiosity, and women's increased mobility. KPMG projects the spiritual tourism sector will grow at an 18.2% CAGR in 2025.
