While most Christians don't want to believe it, I believe that Jesus could very well have studied other spiritual paths during this time.

The "lost years" of his life are subject to a lot of speculation. He and his dad were carpenters. He may not have done much but build tables and chairs.
One interesting theory is that he studied with Buddhist monks in the Himalayas. There are legends there of a strange man from the west who studied and then taught amongst them. The time frame seems to match up.
Remember the three "wise men" from the nativity story? In most illustrations you see, they are dressed as Persians. It may be possible that they were from a little bit further east. Along with the gold, frankincense and myrrh, they might have left a map and a note saying "drop in and see us sometime". It would have been a matter of courtesy for him to travel to their homes and thank them for the expensive gifts after he came of age to do so.
If this theory is true, maybe Jesus didn't talk about it much. Or maybe scribes of later years thought that that kind of thing was just too far out to be included in the Bible. If you think about it, you will notice that his teachings reflect a lot of Buddhist philosophy.

Jesus Christ is the only God who became man. Whereas there are many men who want to become God.
The Bible only gives details about Jesus that are necessary for human beings. That's why details unnecessary, are 'dumped'.

Outside of his family he was unknown. He had not started his mission yet so there was no reason for anyone to record his early life.
