Korea – Buddhist Pilgrimage in the South 7N/8D (Public Group Package)

안녕하세요 Annyeonghaseyo

A special pilgrimage to many significant Buddhist temples in the Southern parts of Korea. Though the majority of all temples share faith of “Ma-Ha-Yar-Na Buddhism”, the scenic nature and calmness of temple locations are the beauty of this trip.

Traditionally, most Korean Temples are built either mid-way or at the peaks of mountains which  require long distance walking, staircase climbing and hiking up the steep slopes.  You will need a high level of fitness and good health for the trip to endow yourself with peace & lots of merit.

This itinerary is specially curated by SMMK who have travelled to visit > 40 Buddhist Temples all over Korea.  The tour is so well-balanced that you won’t feel any pressure to do religious deeds all the time.  You will cover famous religious places in the North, with visits to some en-route tourist attractions, with little recreations here and there to recharge yourself to continue the journey. We will plan you have good eat and sleep too as good health and high energy is important to enjoy tiring journey.

Please read additional Info tab for the summary of tour plan.  Please also note that we only disclose the detailed itinerary to the travelling group members when we do the group tour briefing near departure date.

You can order to start the job of customisation with a small deposit SGD 100.00 now, which will be included into your trip cost later on. However, if you cancel the customization of the trip after 1 week collaboration work, the deposit will be non-refundable.

At present, the ESTIMATED minimum cost per head on transport sharing & room sharing basis is about SGD 2500/head.  Please note that we can finalize the actual package price only after the customisation of the tour has ended. Thank you for your understanding. If interested, please use our webmail format to contact us.
