On this journey, you’ll plunge into the world of exotics and contrasts and explore South Korea from all sides! Every day you will admire the harmonious combination of ancient traditions and the latest technologies, walk among futuristic skyscrapers and old palaces, study local traditions and enjoy dishes of local cuisine.

You’ll also see all the natural diversity of South Korea: snow-white beaches, lava coasts, tangerine groves, high mountains... Truly, this country knows how to surprise! :)

The best time to visit Korea is in spring, during the cherry blossom season, and in autumn, to see the famous red maples and catch the colorful fall of the leaves. Your photos will be beautiful!

During the trip we’ll have time to:

  • Walk around Seoul and watch the sunset at an altitude of 485 meters;
  • Visit a Buddhist monastery and learn how the monks live;
  • Enjoy watching Nanta show in Myeong-dong;
  • Explore the colorful streets and luxurious beaches of Busan;
  • Get to the Jeju Island and go trekking to the Hallasan volcano;

In the morning we'll visit the Huwon Garden. It's name in Korean means "a garden of natural beauty". It is located on the territory of the Changdeokgung Palace, that was built in the 15th century and had been a residence for the Joseon royal dinasty.

Then we’ll make a beautiful trekking near Seoul — we'll go explore the Bukhansan National Park! We’ll walk about 7 kilometers along the mountain path, admiring the famous red maples and breathing fresh air. We’ll climb to the top of the mountain and see impressive views of Seoul. Then we’ll organize a picnic in a Korean style, have a rest and go down, bypassing the ancient temples built right in the middle of the mountains.

We’ll see Buddha statues, chapels, a pagoda and walk along a long staircase with 108 steps! This place is the most beautiful in the spring, during the cherry blossom season.

After lunch, we’ll board the ferry that will take us to Udo Island. Here we will walk along the coral beach and meet Haenyeo — famous women divers. This is a matriarchal community.

It was organized at the highest possible level: from preparation and communication with managers to a meeting with guide Lika and exploration of the country.

I would like to note how organically the route and the entire program were compiled: if we were very active, the next day involved more relaxed leisure, allowing us to rest and gain strength. I never once asked the question “why are we going here now and not somewhere else?” — one location replaced another so logically. I see the guide’s great merit in this. In addition, Lika very openly and unconventionally shared interesting things about the culture of the country and its inhabitants, creating a warm atmosphere from the first day. This put me at ease (and, probably, the other guys in the group too), so we all quickly became friends and tuned in to a common wave.

With all this, despite the intensity of the program, we had free time, so I didn’t feel any rush or race: I wanted to stay in a certain place or walk alone - please. I just needed to have a little vacation, but in the end I discovered a new world and got to know such a wonderful new country. I thank all the organizers, Lika and our cool group for this!
