Forest & Faith: Tongdosa, Hermitage & Hanok Cafe Bibimbap Lunch Tour

Tongdosa & Hidden Hermitages: A Spiritual and Culinary Journey

Explore Tongdosa, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Korea’s three major temples. Known for housing Buddha’s relics instead of statues, it offers a uniquely sacred experience through its 1,300-year-old spiritual architecture.

Visit 3 of the most serene hermitages hidden deep within the temple grounds. Walk along a tranquil pine forest trail, breathe in crisp mountain air, and experience silent reflection in nature.

Enjoy a beautifully presented bibimbap lunch in a peaceful hanok café, followed by Korean-style dessert. A fluent English-speaking guide shares insightful stories of Buddhism, temple life, and local culture—along with hidden photo spots and personal touches.
