Description
Explore Korea’s unique natural beauty. Bukhansan Mountain is one of the most beautiful mountains in Korea and a sacred site of worship in traditional culture.
Bukhansan Mt is a natural sanctuary located right in the heart of Seoul. As one of the world's few national parks within a metropolis, Bukhansan Mt offers a quick escape from the bustling city life. For locals and visitors alike, it is the perfect spot for healing and relaxation, providing breathtaking views of rocky peaks and lush forests, just a 20-minute ride away by public transportation.
What superb rock formations. The hiking trail crosses a superb natural landscape with uninterrupted, breathtaking scenery of oddly formed and bizarrely shaped stones. The exquisite granite rock formations extend from Bibong through Samobawi Rock, Seounggabong Peak, and Tongcheonmun Rock to Munsubong Peak.
Hiking trail is “Gugi National Park office - Daenammun Gate - Munsubong Peak - Tongcheonmun Rock - Seounggabong Peak – Samobawi Rock - Bibong Ridge - Geumseonsa - North 5 Provinces Office'
The view from Munsubong Peak is also wonderful. The valley that descends from Munsubong Peak to the Gugi National Park branch office is also quite beautiful. The sound of the valley with water flowing even in the drought is refreshing and pleasing to eyes and ears.
In a word, all trails offer great experiences of hiking and superb scenery of Korea's unique nature, that cannot be found anywhere else in world.
The level of hiking difficulty is middle-high for adult. Our hiking trail is catering to casual hikers. But hiking is pretty tough and dangerous for kids under 15 years old, because mountain terrain is rough and rugged and have to climb steep slope in some places. In the 1st trail, we have to climb a little steep incline for 1.5 hour, and the middle trail, we will hike almost flat mountain ridge trail for 1 hour and final trail is going-down for 1 hour. It will take about 4.5 hours for our hiking.
Our destinations offer the best and most exquisite scenery in Bukhansan, where hiker can see stunning view of downtown Seoul, in case of clear sky.
Our way down mountain offers stunning view with water flowing valley with the scene of Seoul, which are pleasing our eyes and ears 1.5 hours.
Bukhansan also is a cultural place which has long Korean history and cultural tradition. Visitors can experience the life of Buddhist monks and meditate by offering temple stays at 10 Buddhist temples in Bukhansan.
During hiking, guide shares geographical, historical, and spiritual features of Bukhansan, which will help hikers fully appreciate Bukhansan. It is because for Koreans, mountains were more than just natural environments and landscapes. Mountains were an object of worship.
You can relax in a pretty cafe and experience Korea's traditional food at traditional market called Tongin Market in Seochon of Hyojadong after hiking, that is close to Gwanghwamun Square.
