🇰🇷 What Does the PLK TRAVEL DMZ Tour Include?

Q: What is the basic structure of the DMZ Tour by PLK TRAVEL?
The tour begins in central Seoul, departing from either Myeongdong Station or Hongdae Station around 6:50 AM. From there, you'll travel northwest toward the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), accompanied by a licensed English-speaking guide.
The tour usually returns to Seoul by early afternoon, making it a perfect half-day trip.

Q: Which sites are included in the main DMZ itinerary?
The standard PLK TRAVEL DMZ Tour includes:

✅ Odusan or Dorasan Observatory
Depending on weather and visibility, your guide will select the clearest viewpoint. From there, you can look directly into North Korea.

✅ Imjingak Park
A symbolic peace park that includes:
Freedom Bridge (where POWs returned after the Korean War)
Mangbaedan Altar (for separated families)
The old Steam Locomotive, destroyed during the war

✅ The 3rd Infiltration Tunnel
Discovered in 1978, this tunnel was dug by North Korea and is large enough to move 30,000 troops per hour. You can walk down the steep tunnel and feel the tension of the Cold War.

A small farming village near the DMZ that serves as a living symbol of peace and resilience.

⭐ Traveler Tip
“Ask your guide which observatory has better visibility that day—Odusan offers a clear view across the river, but Dorasan is closer to Kaesong Industrial Complex. Joey gave us the best angle based on the weather!”
