Itinerary
Embark on a captivating journey through the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) with our professional guide on a day tour from Seoul.
Explore pivotal sites such as the Cheorwon North Korean Guard Post, the 2nd Tunnel, and the DMZ Museum. Skip the shopping stops and dive deep into the rich history of the Korean War, while gaining insight into the contemporary importance of the Korean DMZ, one of the world's most fascinating geopolitical landscapes.
Your tour guide will meet and greet you at 07:30 AM at Hoehyeon Station Exit 7 or 07:45 AM at City Hall Station Meeting Point (Exit 6) and take you in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to the DMZ in Cheorwon. Enjoy a delicious breakfast at a Korean highway rest area.
Afterward, continue to visit the Military Demarcation Line, sometimes referred to as the Armistice Line, which marks the border between North Korea and South Korea. The 2nd Tunnel is the widest and largest among tunnels in Korea, and it is the closest to North Korea. This 3.5-km-long tunnel, built by North Korea and discovered by South Korea in 1975, served as a secret invasion route for a possible sudden attack on Seoul.
The Cheorwon Peace Observatory offers panoramic views of the DMZ in the central forward area of Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do. From this observatory, you can see the Cheorwon plain, areas of the DMZ, and even North Korea. Photos of the 2nd Tunnel, military barracks, checkpoints, and the DMZ are exhibited here. Visitors can easily reach the observatory using the 50-person monorail, see the remains of the ancient Taebongguk, and even observe North Korean soldiers' faces through binoculars.
The Korean Workers' Party Headquarters, a three-story building located in Cheorwon-eup and constructed in 1946, was used as the headquarters of the Labor Party until the outbreak of the Korean War. It is now a tourist attraction preserving the vestiges of the Korean War. Savor a delightful lunch featuring Bibimbap, one of Korea's most renowned and cherished dishes. Even those unfamiliar with Korean cuisine have likely enjoyed this flavorful meal at some point in their lives.
Afterward, you'll return to Hoehyeon Station Exit 7, marking the end of an enriching tour. Join us for an unforgettable adventure, where every moment brims with discovery and delight. Contact us now to reserve your spot on this extraordinary journey!
