1.Hiking in Seoul : Bukhansan National Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 83 reviews · from $142Our pick

Meet at Myeongdong Station at 9 a.m. for a guided Bukhansan hike near Seoul. Your guide adjusts the route from the easier 400-meter climb to Seunggasa Temple to the steeper 560-meter Bibong path. Expect granite steps, mountain streams, Buddhist sights, rest stops, and wide city views. A moderate fitness level is needed.

“We loved this hike. Our tour guide matched the challenge to our abilities. What a beautiful location and it offers terrific insight into a piece of the Seoul mindset as this is a very popular location for locals on the weekends. We came in June which is not prime season. I very much want to do this hike again in the fall when the leaves are turning.”
