Hike Bukhansan from Seoul with a private mountain guide, custom routes, hotel pickup, granite trails, temple stops, and peak views.

“Mr. Chance Kim is excellent. After booking the peak hike, I had second thoughts that I would be able to do it. Mr. Kim was assuring and chose a route I could handle and it was still a tough challenge. He taught my family a lot about nature and history while keeping us entertained as we hiked to the top. The temple visit is a must see! Lots of stairs but Mr. Kim kept saying “you can do it!” And I did :) highly recommend!”
