You’ll explore not only the beautiful nature but historical sites with me! During the hike, we will visit a couple of old Buddhist temples and Bukhansanseong fortress. This route is the shortest way to reach the summit. Everyday more than 20,000 people hike in Bukhansan mountain to escape from the city. If you want to experience what locals love, this is a must-visit place. You wouldn't believe this huge city has such a beautiful nature! I hiked in Kilimanjaro, Himalayas, Fuji, Alps and many other mountains in the world. I think Bukhansan is as beautiful as, or even more beautiful than these mountains I hiked. The scenery is unbelievably beautiful. I believe you will have the most memorable travel in Korea through this hike! Check out our Instagram for more info! @honeytrailkorea

    Top flight guide and amazing person

    Ms. Li is an excellent guide. She is experienced, truly loves the mountains and wild places. She is also well-educated.

    Response from the operator: Honeytrailkorea.com team would like to thank you for your review. It was a lot of fun hiking with you. I learned so much from you during the hiking. Thank you for the inspiration. It was like I was walking with a friend in the national park. I hope next time your family can also join the hiking too. Thanks again for your kindness. Have a lovely day. :-)

    A Great Hiking Experience

    Another great experience! This is really informative and you learn alot about Korean history. Lee is super helpful and knowledgeable. She will answer any questions you have and even give you ideas of places to visit in Seoul. The hike was amazing! The scenery is beautiful and the views you get at the top are absolutely breathtaking! This is a must do and I highly recommend it!

    A must in Seoul

    This was my first hiking experience with Lee and I had an amazing time from start to finish. She really made me feel safe and took care of everything along the way (even lunch which was delicious). The path uphill has been really taken care of so it is not too bad :) The view from the top was AMAZING and really worth the effort. We had lunch at the top with a beautiful view of the city and mountains. The visit to the temple was amazing and Lee explained everything thoroughly and answered knowledgeably every question I asked. A MUST do experience in Korea :D Don't be afraid, you will be in good hands :)

    Fantastic morning hike with Spectacular views

    Early morning start meeting the local guide Lee, at Bukhansan UI station. Where you can find a handful of shops in case you require last minute snacks, lunch, or even some hiking gear that you may have forgotten. The hike up the mountain is invigorating, walking past and visiting local Buddhist Temples. As you hike up the mountain you start to get lovely views over the local area. Near the top you will get assistance with steel cables if required to assist you going up and down the mountain. The views at the top are breath taking and well worth the hike. While hiking Lee stops numerous times for rest breaks and quick picture of the surrounding area. We also stopped for lovely Gimbap lunch at the rest spot around halfway up. Lee speaks English excellently and even understood my Scottish accent. She has an amiable personality and personable demeanour with a wonderful cheerful outlook. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the mountain and the places you will see while hiking up Bukhansan Mountain. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone who would like to Hike up Bukhansan Mountain or any of her other Tours, you won’t be disappointed.

    Lee and Honey Trail are great for excursions

    Lee is an amazing tour guide, she gave so much useful information during the tour. I highly recommend doing the bukhansan hiking excursion with her. It has been the highlight of my Seoul visit

    Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit (Lunch inc): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.

    How much does Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit (Lunch inc) cost?

    +

    Prices start at ₩125,100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seoul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit (Lunch inc) take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seoul is not rushed.

    Is Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit (Lunch inc) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seoul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit (Lunch inc)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit (Lunch inc) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit (Lunch inc)?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seoul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seoul and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hiking Adventure Bukhansan Highest Peak & Old Buddhist temples visit (Lunch inc) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seoul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Seoul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Seoul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, 2026 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best: DMZ Tour from Seoul. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Seoul?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Seoul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
