Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom for nearly a thousand years, offers a unique journey through nature, faith and history.

The journey ascends Mt. Toham to Bulguksa Temple and the Sokgulam Grotto, where Buddhist philosophy and natural scenery unite in UNESCO-listed masterpieces.
The econd route explores Gyeongju as a Museum Without Walls, featuring Cheomseongdae, the royal tombs of Daereungwon, Woljeonggyo Bridge and Gyochon Traditional Villages with Donggung Palace and Wolji pond as an optional highlight.
