Bukhansan National Park: The Summit Course

This hike ent beyond my expectations, it was incredible! it was harder than I thought, but we'll worth the effort! Our group was full of amazing people, and our tour guide was absolutely incredible! I was really struggling, but she helped me go at my own pace, and was extremely patient with me, to make sure I reach the end and expierence the amazing views. I couldn't have asked for more. Don't overthink this adventure at all, you'll be so happy you did it! (Make sure you wear good hiking shoes, it makes a difference)

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.

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 !

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!

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!

It's possible to do the hike alone, but I'm glad I joined a tour because it was a much better experience for me overall. I had some difficulty with the rock scrambling section, so I really appreciated having a guide and other tourists with me during that moment.

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!

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

I had an amazing private hiking experience at Bukhansan thanks to Jiyoung. She was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the mountain, trails, and local history. Since it was just the two of us, she tailored the pace perfectly to suit me and made sure I felt safe and comfortable throughout the hike. Her positive energy and encouragement really helped during the more challenging sections. She also knew the best viewpoints and photo spots, which made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend Jiyoung to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and personalized Bukhansan hiking experience!

A must do as a group as it made the climb fun & engaging. Our guide Ji Young was very observant and made frequent short stops for everyone to go at a comfortable pace. She also bought us to a delicious lunch at a tofu restaurant- they make from scratch! A very memorable day indeed. Thank you Ji Young
