Summary
Embark on an unforgettable journey to explore South Korea's unique history, natural beauty and rich culture, including bustling cities, beautiful temples, and the historic DMZ.
South Korea is a nation of contrasts. Seoul - the capital - is a neon-lit metropolis with a blend of futuristic skyscrapers, elaborate temples, and traditional markets. But step outside the cities, and you'll find a mountainous country with history hidden amongst the trees. We'll visit the DMZ (Demilitarised Zone), a rare opportunity to view North Korea and delve into the history and current state of affairs on the Korean Peninsula. We'll admire South Korea's beautiful countryside on a visit to Seoraksan National Park and wander the colourful streets of Gamcheon Culture Village, where art and history come to life in creative displays. You'll also have the opportunity to deepen your connection with Korean culture during a hands-on cooking class, where you can try your hand at preparing traditional Korean dishes.
This holiday is ideal for those seeking a blend of history, culture and nature.

DAY 6
Vibrant urban activity is juxtaposed with dramatic mountain ridges and beautiful beaches in Sokcho, South Korea. Many tourists come to this city of approximately 90,000 residents to visit Seoraksan National Park, home of the highest mountain in Gangwon-doProvince and the third highest mountain in South Korea. The city and mountain range attracts national and internationally visitors year-round, but particularly in autumn, when the foliage is at its height (and considered the most beautiful in Korea). Visitors to Sokcho can also visit hot springs, beaches, or view one of the several well-preserved Buddha statues located in temples throughout the city.
DAY 11
White-sand city beaches and hot-spring resorts may not be everyone's first image of Korea, but these are what Koreans flock to Busan for all year. And there are plenty of opportunities for rest, relaxation, retail therapy, and even a touch of glamour every October with the Busan International Film Festival. Busan's beaches are the big summertime draw but there is plenty to be seen year round. Quintessential experiences include taking some rest and relaxation at a local spa and exploring the Beomeosa temple complex.
