Bukhansan National Park: The Summit Course

Signed up for this hike by myself, and it’s really worth it! The total hike is around 4hrs, and our pace is quite slow, so if you excersize regularly, it should be fine for you. And just keep in mind that the meet up point is quite far from downtown, and for my trip on Saturday, the meet up time is 7AM. 導遊：My guide Dajeong is awesome!! She’s fun, outgoing, and familiar with the route. I was late that morning, but she’s very patient and helpful to me! Big thanks!

Koa was an insightful and funny guide. Worth all the sweat to see the beautiful view even though it was a bit foggy that day. We stopped by a temple on the way up saw some cute dogs and a cat.

Jiyoung is a great tour guide. I unfortunatley injured my finger during the hike, and she was attentive in helping me tend to the wound. The trek was more challenging than I had anticipated, but the breathtaking views made it all worth it.

We had a great hike thanks to our guide Koa. He was very knowledgeable about the trail and showed us a temple along the way. The hike was moderate-difficult depending on your fitness level, but it is definitely worth it for the view at the top. I would definitely recommend this!

Jinyoung is such a nice tour guide. Our hike was around 4 hours, very durable even for people with low fitness level. After the tour she took us to the restaurant with great Korean food too!

The guid was very kind and we had a lot of fun ! I really recommend to bring good shoes and also be prepared because there is a part of the path that can be steep. It was very cloudy so we couldn’t see that much however the weather at the end became amazing ! It was. y far my best adventure I’ve ever experienced here in Korea !

most of the hike is a continuous incline. i realy thought i wouldn’t make it to the summit. but Jiyoung, our guide, was really helpful and supportive. walked our paced and with us all through hike

Our guide, Jiyoung, is fluent in English. Even if you don't speak English, and your hiking and Korean language skills are beginner level, the guide is very kind and supportive. It's perfectly fine to go alone. I highly recommend this for your first international hiking experience. If you have the WhatsApp app, you can contact them even without a phone number. The area near the summit has slippery rocks, so be sure to bring shoes with good grip! The view from the summit is amazing. You can even experience the classic post-hike makgeolli and bindae-tteok!

Koa was a fun and attentive guide. He explained everything clearly and made sure to check in with each of us throughout the hike to ensure we were doing okay. The mountain views were incredibly beautiful—it was definitely a memorable experience. The trail was a bit challenging at times, so we recommend wearing good grip shoes and bringing a windbreaker. Highly recommend this hike and Koa as a guide!

Koa is very patient and outgoing, constantly making sure that we are following/catching up. He gave us ample time to rest at the different pitstops too which makes it enjoyable. We had lunch as a group together and the food that he recommended are very good and it has vegan (non-meat) option as well!
