This study aims to explore the impact of the Kiai Ageng Muhammad Besari grave pilgrimage tradition on fostering humanistic and spiritual attitudes among students at SDN 2 Ngrupit Ponorogo. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with phenomenological paradigm, the research involved 25 students from grades V-VI, 5 teachers, 3 community leaders, and 2 grave caretakers through participant observation and semi-structured in-depth interviews. Results indicate that 78% of students experienced increased empathy, tolerance, and self-reflection after consistently participating in pilgrimage traditions. Findings reveal that pilgrimage functions not merely as a religious ritual but also as an effective character education medium bridging historical knowledge, spiritual introspection, and humanistic values. The study concludes that integrating pilgrimage traditions into educational curriculum contributes holistically to developing students' moral character and responsiveness to humanitarian values as well as local cultural heritage.
