Condé Nast Traveler has also published a piece highlighting some of the most stunning religious sites around the world, and a few that they mentioned did make it onto Jeremy’s list as well. One of which is “The Tiger’s Nest” in Taktsang, Bhutan. This Buddhist monastery and temple can be found 2,952 feet (or 900 meters) above the Paro Valley. It was built over 300 years ago, and it has been considered a sacred site ever since Guru Rinpoche (or second Buddha) meditated there for three years, three months and three hours to keep evil at bay.

The Church of St. George in Ethiopia is another that Jeremy featured on his list as well. This church, which was carved out of monolithic rock, can be found in a small town in northern Ethiopia. It was created during the 12th Century according to instructions from King Lalibela who had dreams of a “New Jerusalem,” when it was impossible to make pilgrimages to the holy land due to Muslim conquests. But today, many people still make pilgrimages to the unique and beautiful church!
