Korean Backpackers Discover Charm of India (The Korea Times)

Korean tourists to India have been steadily increasing for the past few years.

A unique feature for Seoul-based agencies that target India as their main tourism destination is that they sell a "group backpacking" service. Usually they send a team of up to 25 people with a leader, a Korean travel guide hired to the agency who has years of experience traveling in the region and is well-acquainted with local services and prices.

Many Koreans who visit India as a part of these groups return on their own.
