hike details
This is a 6+ hour hike through Gwanaksan. The first 30 minutes, follows the bunkers trail and continues on to the summit until reaching the small red temple of the Cliffs of flames trail. On the way up, we'll see lots of evocatively shaped rocks, some of Gwanaksan's finest Korean pines and a view that will stay with us all along. Once at the summit, we will visit Yeonjudae (the little red temple), followed on the way back down by Yeonjuam, a major temple on this mountain (where a ramyeon can be available), and finally, at the very bottom, we'll share a well-deserved invigorating meal. This hike is accessible to all, but because of its length it requires a good fitness level and a certain taste for effort, but the rewards are well worth it!

Haemin is a certified guide, so her information are strong as granite, like the mountain!
You'll leave Korea with 10 photos per person, taken by me, of you in full effort.
We'll share a meal when we get back down, something you wouldn't have eaten without us.
If you like, we'll take a taxi from your hotel to the mountain entrance: it's included in the price.
We'll give you a "Bok pouch", translation of 복주머니, containing traditional Korean snacks to eat on the way, 1L of water and little gifts that you'll proudly show off once back home.
If you want to eat a kimpap roll on the mountain, like a real Korean hiker, let us know in advance and we'll prepare it for you.
Basically, there's no extra charge - all you need is your clothes and the desire to spend a moment of discovery with us!

In this budget-friendly package, only the accompanying hike with Romain is included.
I'll meet you at the nearest subway station and we'll travel together to the trail by public transport. You'll need to bring your own snacks and water, and if you wish to eat together afterwards, the cost of your meal will be on your. Finally, if you want to use the photo service, just ask me! The price is separate.
