hike Details
This 5-6 hours hike in Bukhansan National Park toward 2 iconic peaks is fairly easy but if you feel adventurous we can add a challenge for you at both those peaks. Along the trail we’ll walk across a temple with a carving from the Goryeo era (918–1392), follow a generous stream leading to a waterfall, reach the cubic looking rock you see in the pictures called Samo Rock and extend to Bibong Peak where a memorable photo spot awaits you. The way down will lead us to a second temple, one of the biggest in the national park containing a huge pagoda and another carved Buddha. On top of all that, this hike offers a stunning view over Seoul which makes it, considering how easy it is, one of the most rewarding trail in Bukhansan. A definite must go trail if you want to discover the stunning beauty of the most special mountain range in Seoul!

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.
