• Minimum Fitness Requirement:
  You should be able to climb stairs for AT LEAST 5 MINUTES continuously without a break. IF you are not sure, try it!

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

With research, I came up with the simplest route to save your precious travel time. 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 100~120 minutes. You will need to be moderately fit to finish this hike. Imagine if you could go up-and-down 200 floors of stairs :)

The highlight, Baek-un-dae peak, will require some amount of 25~45 degree-angle climbing, always aided by ropes. If you have a fear of heights, this 20~30 minute part can be avoided by having a break.

(Optional. Paid by individuals. 9000~15000 KRW for lunch) After the hike, we will eat at a place specializing in tofu dishes. They make everything from scratch. It may change your perspective of tofu. They have meat too! (Vegan/vegetarian friendly)
