Our service
for Hiking and Backpacking in Korea
With 70 percent of its landscape being mountains, Korea is a veritable playground for hiking enthusiasts. Seoul is one of few cities in the world which has easily accessible mountains in its metropolitan area. There are several gorgeous mountains in Seoul and the surrounding suburban areas. Seoul’s most prominent peak is Bukhansan ("san" means mountain in Korean). Bukhansan is sometimes called the "lungs of Seoul" in reference to the forests which help provide fresh, clean air to the city. Bukhansan and many other mountains are all reachable by public transportation within less than an hour’s trip from downtown. Additionally, there are many stunning mountains like Seoraksan, Jirisan, Odesan, etc. within a couple of hours’ drive by car. There is no better way to really get up close and experience Korea's picturesque outdoors than hiking.
Wherever you are, you'll be close to a great hike. There are trails on nearly every mountain across Korea and regardless of your itinerary, there will be hikes nearby to match. If you find yourself staying in Seoul, you can easily reach trail heads in Seoul and suburban area within 20-40 minutes. If you want to leave Seoul and enjoy a less crowded hike, you can visit one of the National Parks. There are many beautiful National Parks like Seoraksan, Odesan and more within two hours' distance from Seoul. Also, the nationally ranked Top 100 notable mountains, chosen out of about 4,200 mountains by Korea National Forest Service, provide beautiful and challenging trails.
