Body: High life
For heart-stopping thrills, head to Gapyeong, an hour’s train ride from Seoul. Make your first stop at the bungee tower and take the 55-metre plunge above Bukhan River. Then go up the Nami Skyline Zipwire ZipRider tower, the start of a 940-metre zip line that takes you over the river and onto Nami Island. You’ll get stunning views, if you can keep your eyes open…
Soul: Temple homestay
Ditch your hotel for a temple. At the 1,200-year-old Bongeunsa Temple, in the heart of Gangnam, a 24-hour sleepover gives you an immersive experience of Buddhist devotion. Join in the sessions of meditation and 108 prostrations, eat simple temple food, learn mindfulness during a tea ceremony and chant in the evening. Get up for more of the same at 4am. Don’t miss discussions with monks on life, the universe and everything in between.
