Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit

Seoul Trip Overview

You’ll explore not only the beautiful nature but historical sites with me!
During the hike, we will visit a couple of old Buddhist temples and Bukhansanseong fortress.

This route is the shortest way to reach the summit. Everyday more than 20,000 people hike in Bukhansan mountain to escape from the city. If you want to experience what locals love, this is a must-visit place. You wouldn’t believe this huge city has such a beautiful nature!

I hiked in Kilimanjaro, Himalayas, Fuji, Alps and many other mountains in the world. I think Bukhansan is as beautiful as, or even more beautiful than these mountains I hiked. The scenery is unbelievably beautiful. I believe you will have the most memorable travel in Korea through this hike!
