As you peer across the Demilitarized Zone at the 38th parallel, you can almost feel the weight of history on your shoulders. Experience a unique opportunity to witness the impact of geopolitics on people's daily lives. In contrast to the tense atmosphere of the DMZ, the rural town of Gurye offers a peaceful respite. Here, you will learn about the temple life of monks, who lead a simple yet profound existence. When you're ready to re-engage with the vibrancy of Korean culture, take a stroll through the bustling markets. The colours, smells, and sounds are overwhelming, but in the best possible way.
Discover the fascinating contrast between South Korea’s modern cities and its ancient history. As you explore Seoul and Busan, you'll be swept up in the energy of urban life, experiencing the pulse of contemporary Korean culture. But it's in Gyeongju where you'll truly step back in time. Known as the "Museum Without Walls," this UNESCO World Heritage Site was once the historical capital of the Silla Kingdom. And as you spend a morning learning and experiencing the temple life of monks, you'll be struck by the deep spiritual roots that still run through this land.
