hike details
A 4-5 hour hike in total, during which we'll cross Gwanak Mountain. We'll leave from Seoul National University and take the shortest route to the summit (the big rock with the scriptures), Yeonjudae (the little red temple on the cliff) and the breathtaking view of all Seoul and its surroundings. Then we'll head back down, via Yeonjuam temple (where a ramyeon is available at certain times), to the town of Gwacheon, where we'll have lunch/dinner at the foot of the mountain. Once we've had our fill, we'll take the subway, line 4, back to Seoul for more adventures! This trail is the most traveled, so it's easy and open to all, despite the steps just before the summit that will make you feel alive for 5 minutes!

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.
