About this trip
Twelve days across South Korea, moving from the neon energy of Seoul to a night in a working temple, the mountain trails of Seoraksan National Park and the market streets of Busan. It's a fully guided group trip pitched at an easy pace, with private rooms throughout.
The idea is to get past the K-pop headlines and see how the culture actually works day to day — temple stays, local markets, national parks and city life sit side by side rather than being rushed past.
Food is a big part of it too, with plenty of chances to try Korean cooking that doesn't often get the attention it deserves.
What you'll do
- Explore contemporary Seoul
- Stay overnight in a traditional temple, with meditation
- Hike in Seoraksan National Park

- Sample Korean cuisine across the regions you visit
- Easy pace, suited to travellers who want culture and nature without a demanding physical itinerary
- Private rooms throughout, so no dorm-style sharing
- Cherry blossom season departures run on specific dates if that's part of the draw for you
