Abstract This research thesis contains half-century travelogues of the twentieth century. Travel and religion have a deep connection with both the outward and the inward human. Likewise, every religion has its own unique identity, both outward and inward. The synagogue identifies the followers of that religion. The journey of a human being begins with his creation. While spiritual travel is also related to prehistory, this thesis is a combination of major elements like travel and religion.In Islam, where religion is termed as “travel is source of victory”. Similarly, other religions and civilizations have a special meaning for travel. And especially when religious matters are driven in the background of travel, it becomes a form of travel worship. For example, if Muslims go for Hajj, then their journey is worship. Hindus likewise consider salvation as a journey to Gangotri. Jerusalem is a means of salvation for the Jews. In this thesis, all the travelogues that have been written in the above mentioned period have been made subject research. Content available to benefit from a convenient and well-researched source is divided into three periods. First period contains 1947 to 1960. Second period covers next twenty years. Similarly, the last 20-year period has been made part of the third period.The thesis contains five Chapters. The first chapter consists of an introduction and a theoretical discussion.
