South Korea Basic Guide + my Actual Itinerary with Ranjith G

This is my actual, on-ground travel itinerary that I personally followed during my South Korea solo trip. More importantly, this is not a random or generic itinerary.

This itinerary includes day-wise plans with timestamps, along with real accommodation details, and useful links (SIM card, hostels where I stayed, DMZ Tour etc.). It reflects how the trip was actually executed, not just planned on paper.

You can use this itinerary as a practical reference for your own trip and modify it based on your travel dates, pace, and preferences. Since it’s based on real travel experience, it helps you understand how much you can realistically cover each day
