The 9 Nights / 10 Days Tour Around Korea by Jane DMC Korea is a grand journey that reveals the country’s diverse beauty — from royal palaces and ancient villages to coastal cities and tranquil gardens.
Designed for travelers who wish to see all of Korea, this program offers the perfect blend of history, culture, and nature across the nation’s most iconic destinations — Seoul, Sokcho, Andong, Gyeongju, Busan, Suncheon, Gwangju, and Damyang.
Beginning in the capital city Seoul, visitors explore its rich heritage through royal palaces, temples, and traditional markets. The adventure then moves east to Sokcho, where the magnificent Seoraksan National Park displays Korea’s natural splendor with snow-capped peaks, waterfalls, and ancient temples.
From the mountains, the route continues to Andong — the spiritual heart of Korean Confucianism — and then to Gyeongju, known as the “museum without walls,” where ancient tombs and UNESCO World Heritage sites like Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto showcase the glory of the Silla Kingdom.
Travelers then reach Busan, Korea’s lively seaside city, to experience its world-famous Haeundae Beach, Jagalchi Seafood Market, and the scenic Gwangan Bridge. The journey continues through the lush wetlands of Suncheon Bay National Garden, the colorful Gamcheon Culture Village, and the artistic city of Gwangju, before finishing with a bamboo-forest walk in Damyang and a return to Seoul for modern highlights such as Lotte World Tower, Gangnam District, and Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
Every part of this itinerary is carefully curated for comfort, balance, and discovery — combining luxurious accommodation, rich local culture, and unforgettable scenery. It’s the ultimate Korean experience — a journey from past to present, from mountains to sea, and from tradition to innovation.
