Korea Hike Retreat, 6 days

Korea Hike Retreat, 6 days

Go on a well-deserved break covering popular cities in South Korea like Incheon and Seoul, and a nature retreat in Gangwon Province, well known for its beautiful nature scenery.

This itinerary provides a great short retreat away from the hustle and bustle of our daily grind. Not your usual South Korea itinerary, this trip covers places that are lesser explored by tourists, but popular amongst locals. A trip to downtown Seoul is a must for you to visit the usual shopping haunts and you can do that on your own with the flexible schedule given in Seoul.

Trip Duration: 6 days
