If you are on a spiritual journey and looking to explore some of the world's most sacred spots, then look no further. Here are some spectacular locations on Earth you must put on your bucket list, as reported by The Independent.
1. Camino de Santiago, Spain
Since the ninth century when the discoveries of apostle’s remains were reportedly made, pilgrims have been following the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. The sociable sacred stroll is the Camino Frances route.

3. Mount Kailash, Tibet
The remote 6,638m peak is sacred to Bons, Jains, Hindus and Buddhists. Many make their way across the Tibetan plateau to complete a kora to clear bad karma of one lifetime.
Mount Kailash czyli Klejnot Åšniegu, jest prawdopodobnie najÅ›wiÄ™tszÄ… ze wszystkich Å›wiÄ™tych gór Azji. Jest czczona przez wyznawców Buddyzmu, Hinduizmu, Dżinizmu oraz Bon (przed buddyjska religia Tybetu). Jej okolice to ponoć jedno z najpiÄ™kniejszych miejsc na ziemi.#K2dlaPolaków pic.twitter.com/haxkzUJrj8

4. Lourdes, France
The little town of Lourdes in the Pyrenean foothills got the world's attention in 1858, when 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous had a vision of the Virgin Mary there. Since then more than 200 million people have visited the sacred place.
5. Old Jerusalem, Israel
One of the world's oldest cities is still in turmoil, but it is one of the most sacred places for three big religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. You can admire the magnificence of the mosque on Temple Mount, witness the Jewish pilgrims push little notes into the cracks of the Western Wall and explore the route Jesus walked to his crucifixion.
6. Varanasi, India
India's River Ganges is the most sacred waterway. On the left bank of Ganges in the state of Uttar Pradesh lies the Varanasi, which allows human a way to connect to the divine by making a spiritual crossing.
