Bukhansan National Park: The Summit Course

About this activity

Located on the boundary of Seoul, Bukhansan national park is one of the most iconic hiking spots in Seoul.

With research, I came up with the simplest route. We will only need 4 hours instead of the normal 6 hours, while still conquering the summit.

The ascending part of the hike will have an elevation change of 600 meters (2,000 ft) within 2.1 km (1.3 miles) which normally takes around 100120 minutes. You will need to be able to climb stairs for at least 5 minutes continuously without a break. IF you are not sure, try it!

The highlight, Baek-un-dae peak, will require some amount of 2545 degree-angle climbing, always aided by ropes.

(Optional. 900015000 KRW for lunch) After hike, we will eat at a place specializing in tofu dishes. They have meat too! (Vegan/vegetarian friendly)
