Haedong Yonggungsa Temple on sea shore. Busan, South Korea

Soulful South Korea

The wellness culture in South Korea is ancient, tracing all the way back to its long history with Buddhism. Our 10-day trip is a pretty comprehensive tour of this unique East Asian nation, taking in Seoul, Busan and the DMZ for a start. On the wellness front, you’ll get to enjoy the serenity of Seoraksan National Park’s luscious mountain vistas, cycle around Gyeongju and sample soju on the beach in Busan, where you’ll also have the chance to visit a traditional jjimjilbang bathhouse. The most soul-centring experience you’ll have, however, comes in the sixth-century Buddhist temple of Golgulsa. Here you’ll partake in a traditional Korean temple stay, learning about a martial art called Sunmudo, working on your meditation skills and having an archery session, before settling in for the evening in the temple itself – that’s wellness the Buddhist monk way!
