But it’s a dynamic country, steeped in culture, tradition and history, with vibrant cities, rich landscapes, friendly local people and staggering nature. Join this trip to immerse yourself in the contemporary culture of bustling Seoul, meditate and spend the night in an ancient temple, discover the beauty of Seoraksan National Park and explore the colourful markets of Busan. This, combined with the chance to taste some of the most underrated cuisine in the world, makes a trip to South Korea unforgettable.

  • Discover the bustling, colourful markets of Busan
  • Be captivated by the culinary delights of South Korea

We stay in hotels for 10 nights and spend one night in a traditional Buddhist temple. The normal accommodations used on this trip are on the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are a couple of the notable places we stay. 



Seoul: Kukdo Hotel (nights 1-3) 







Featuring modern, spacious rooms and a fitness center, Kukdo is in the heart of Seoul, less than a 15-minute walk from the lively Gwangjang Market and easily accessible by public transport from the airport.  It has a restaurant serving a buffet breakfast each morning with a selection of Western and Asian dishes, plus a convenience store selling a range of daily necessities. 



Mount Gaya: Haeinsa Temple (night 9) 







Spend one night in a traditional temple, a unique opportunity to appreciate the life of a Buddhist monk, experience woodblock printing and chamseon, a traditional meditation method of Buddhism in Korea. You may also learn the Buddhist teachings by touring the small hermitages and temples around Mount Gaya with Haeinsa as its main temple. It’s a religious institution, so facilities are basic and rooms are on a triple/quadruple-share basis with Western-style beds and assigned by sex, which means couples are not permitted to share a room.  



Worth knowing 



Single supplements can be pre-booked for 10 nights of the tour at the hotel accommodation. These must be requested before departure and are subject to availability. A single supplement is not available for the night at Haeinsa Temple.
