Additional Information

National parks are very rarely within a city, and yet Bukhansan Mountain was designated as the 15th national park of Korea in 1983. Bukhansan National Park boasts of many gorges and granite peaks with crystal clear streams flowing between them. Hiking to the summit can be challenging and can take between 4-6 hours subject to individual pace.

Spectacular - We had a wonderful time hiking up the Gugi trail to Samobawi rock. Mr. Jimmy was our hiking guide and after a short discussion he suggested this trail. The views at the Seunggasa temple was simply amazing!! There were no crowds and you can hike at your pace. Jimmy was a great guide and you can trust him to find a suitable trail for you. There are many trails in Bukhansan. Thank you Mr. Jimmy. It was fun hiking and having the gimbap lunch up in the mountains.

Get out thereafter be with nature - Mr. Jimmy Nam was excellent! He suggested the trails we should take based on our desires and physical agility. I was a wonderful morning and afternoon hiking then lunch. If you have the opportunity for a private hike, I recommend. With group hikes you are at the mercy of the best hiker or the slowest hiker.

Great mountain hike with mountain expert Kim! - We had our mountain hike with Kim. It was all very great and we ended up with a great view of the mountains and Seoul. Although we went the easier way as Beginners and did not go up the 836m high mountain but he found a great solution for us. It was all very nice and personable. Thank you Kim!

A must excursion for avid hikers visiting Seoul - Kim was a very personable guide on our hike yesterday! He let us go at our own pace and the views were definitely spectacular. Highly recommended for those who seek a little adventure in Seoul and for avid hikers. Also recommend wearing proper hiking attire (hiking gloves) and bringing trekking poles as this may make the hike a little easier.

Amazing! - This was a challenging climb and could not have been possible without our excellent guide, Mr Chance Kim. He is a very fit and knowledgeable guide who customised our hike to our ability. The view from the Bibong Peak is just beautiful. This trip encouraged me to do more hikes in Korea. I highly recommend this.

Great hiking experience in Bukhansan - I booked this hiking because I didn’t want to go alone, and I had Mr. Kim as my guide. He was very friendly and talkative. He had a nice chat while he was driving and during the hike. He was also considerate and let you go at your own pace. For the hike, it is quite challenging as it is pretty steep, and it is very hot during the summer, but also very rewarding as the view on top is amazing. Overall it was a great experience!

Will be made perfect if not for the rain - This trip will be made perfect if the weather is nice. My hiking was with a guide Mr Kevin Lee, and that day was raining quite heavily since the morning, however the guide was more concern for the customer's safety, which was of top priority of course. Though I didn't make it to the peak, the overall process from meeting-up at the hotel, until driving to the entrance and hiking to the Baegun Shelter were smooth. As most of the tour operators requested minimum two customers, hence I chose this tour as they still can accept single traveller. Plus point was that they offer pick up service from the hotel, and no join-in from other groups (not easy to hike in big groups). Mr Kevin was very chill, sharing a lot of Korean stories and can speak in good English, so communication wise is not a problem. Bukhansan National Park is worth to come again at different season!

We took this hike up to... - We took this hike up to Baegundae peak with Brandon as our guide. He was a great guide, and was very patient and knowledgeable. The hike itself is somewhat strenuous, with a steep uphill most of the way, and hand-holds near the top to help you up the rocks. The view from the peak is breathtaking and well worth the effort. We recommend this trip!

Great hiking experience! - I had a great, unforgetable experience on my hiking tour to Bukhansan Peak. I hired a hiking guide because I was solo, and didn't want to face the personal risk of such a difficult summit hike alone. Chance Kim was very friendly and professional. He's a very fit and knowledgeable hiker and an excellent driver -- you have to be to navigate Seoul. He's also very interesting to talk to and shared useful info about Seoul, it's history, and hiking other areas. Highly recommend!
