In nine days, this trip charts an efficient path through South Korea’s cultural and geographic core. Beginning in Seoul, the route ventures east to the coastal town of Sokcho, cuts inland toward the historical Confucian settlement of Andong, travels south to the port city of Busan, and concludes back in the capital via high-speed bullet train.
The adventure opens in Seoul with evening street dining at Gwangjang Market and a night ascent up Naksan to view the city lights. The following morning features a trip to the Demilitarised Zone—exploring the Third Tunnel of Aggression, Dora Observatory, and Imjingak Park—before returning to Seoul to walk through Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village.
Heading east to Sokcho, travelers cross to a historic refugee settlement via a passenger-hauled cable barge. There, guests participate in a dumpling-cooking session and share a meal with a resident, directly supporting the local community. The next day entails a 3-hour guided hike through the granite peaks of Seoraksan National Park.
The journey continues south to Andong Hahoe, where guests spend the night sleeping on heated floors inside a traditional hanok. Moving on to Busan, the itinerary covers the coastal Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Gamcheon Culture Village, an Igidae cliff walk, and an authentic dialogue with a local Haenyeo sea diver. The expedition wraps up in Seoul with a group Korean barbecue feast.
