Historically, pilgrimages were undertaken by people from various social classes, not just the wealthy. While it is true that wealthier individuals could afford more comfortable journeys, many poorer pilgrims also embarked on these spiritual journeys, often facing significant hardships. Religious devotion and the desire for spiritual fulfillment motivated people across the socio-economic spectrum to participate in pilgrimages. Thus, pilgrimages were accessible to a broader range of society, albeit with varying experiences based on one's financial means.
