Pilgrimage journeys typically involve significantly more walking than many people do in their daily routines. While there are regular breaks throughout each day, the itinerary remains quite active. We recommend wearing supportive, comfortable footwear and being prepared for extended periods of walking and standing. You should also anticipate uneven terrain and a greater number of stairs than you may normally encounter. Our activity rating scale provides an approximate indication of the average number of steps participants can expect to take each day during the pilgrimage.
