This article aims to explore some features of the phenomenon that people of highly developed countries cross borders to go to underdeveloped countries for improving physical, mental health. For this purpose, I would show 3 limits of the existing concepts, ethnographic data of Koreans, Japanese` travel to India to practice yoga, and express this as ``medical pilgrimage.`` ``Medical tourism`` and ``lifestyle migration`` have three limits to explain this phenomenon. First, ``tourism`` and ``lifestyle`` connote the ``consumption activity`` of middle and upper class people, so these concepts mislead the socioeconomic environment and purpose of the movers who escaped from the vulnerable situation. Second, those two concepts indicate movements for the treatments and therapies based upon conventional medical paradigms, so can`t explain the movements to explore various medical paradigms and make one`s own medical practices. Third, ``tourism`` and ``migration`` premise a lineal movement between the points of departure and arrival, so they can`t show the changing process of places and purpose of the movements. Based on a four month participatory observation in Rishikesh, India, I would show a typical medical pilgrimage. Usually Korean, Japanese yoga practitioners` socio-economic positions are very vulnerable, and they experienced various phycho-somatic illnesses including depression, bulimia because of social reasons. To heal the illnesses, they move to India and indulge in practicing yoga. They have been moving several places in their own countries and India to try various treatments based on different medical paradigms. During this process, they experience, learn, absorb and read, discuss about various medical paradigms, philosophies and religions, and combine them with yoga to develop one`s own treatment or practice. And they develop new ways and values of life wandering around the best places for yoga practice continuously. They reduce work, consumption and human relation to the minimum. And they have higher values and hope to help other people. To show the movements of the low class people for healing and survival, and active exploration for alternative medical paradigms, and continuous travel which accompany the holistic changes of the way of life and purposes, I use the concept of ``pilgrimage.`` A pilgrimage put emphasis on the process of travel and include the meaning of exploration of subjective values, and higher values and ideals. So I interpret their practice as ``medical pilgrimage.`` A medical pilgrimage expresses the continuous wanderings to explore the best treatments and medical paradigms to overcome and heal the sufferings of life and illnesses appeared because of the sufferings, and the changes of the way of life and purpose of moving. The solutions and attached meanings of individual problems of life reflect more and more diversifying transnational contexts. Modern pilgrimages chosen as the solutions seek more autonomous and individualized meanings, and cross various cultures of religions and medicines. So medical pilgrimage shows new features that should be researched in the study of religions, transnational movements and medical anthropology.
