Most of the visitors to South Korea consider exploring the DMZ and tend to choose Gyeonggi-do routes that are mostly commercial but this tour would likely be much more private and less crowded. Furthermore, this is an hour's drive away from the MT Seoraksan so if you plan to visit the Seoraksan, you would be able to enjoy two attractions on one itinerary. Additionally, on the way back, you can enjoy North Korean cuisine for lunch and grab a chance to observe Korean traditional architecture. This area used to be a North Korean territory before the Korean War.
