2026 Happy Double Templestay Booking: 1 Night 2 Days for 30,000 Won at 104 Temples in November

The 'Happy Double Templestay' program is running throughout November 2026 at 104 temples across South Korea, offering a 1-night, 2-day experience for an exceptionally low price of 30,000 won per person. This event, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and supervised by the Korea Tourism Organization, aims to boost domestic tourism and expand opportunities for templestay experiences, attracting significant interest, especially from Koreans seeking peaceful retreats during the autumn foliage season.

The program will be available from November 1st to 30th, accommodating approximately 7,800 participants across 104 temples. Bookings open regionally starting October 14th: Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Chungcheong, and Sejong regions on October 14th at 1 PM; Gangwon, Jeolla, Gyeongsang, Daegu, and Busan regions on October 15th at 1 PM; and all regions from October 16th at 10 AM. The 30,000 won fee includes accommodation, temple meals, and basic experiential programs, but participants should arrange their own transportation and personal toiletries. A maximum of four family members can be booked by one representative, and specific rules for minors vary by temple.

Bloggers emphasize the value of experiencing a templestay, which typically costs 70,000 to 120,000 won, for just 30,000 won, particularly recommending the serene atmosphere of temples in November. They advise pre-registering on the official website and deciding on preferred temples and dates in advance due to the first-come, first-served booking system. Additionally, reviewing each temple's specific programs and required items beforehand is suggested for a more fulfilling experience.
