Overview

Escape busy Seoul and stroll through a thousand-year-old temple embraced by Korea’s natural beauty.

Explore a scenic trail with breathtaking views of Seoraksan, a hidden spot unknown to most foreign tourists

You can experience the essence of Gangwon Province in one trip: the majestic Seoraksan Mountain, the DMZ observatories, and museums where you can learn about the Korean War

Most tourists climb Ulsanbawi, but few know about the hidden viewpoint across from it. Discover this local secret at Sinsundae near Hwaamsa Temple, where you can take in stunning views of Ulsanbawi in peace.

The trail is short but steep and slippery, so proper footwear such as sneakers or hiking shoes is required.
Unless there is heavy rainfall, the hike will proceed as scheduled, so please remember to bring a raincoat.
On days with heavy rain, the hike will be replaced with a visit to the Displaced Civilians Museum on the way back.

The tour operates even with just one participant.
