Bukhansan National Park Tour & Korean Spa Experience – Full Day

Studded with granite peaks, Mt Bukhansan is a short yet rewarding hop from the city. Less than an hour’s drive will take you to its sweeping mountaintop vistas, maple leaves, rushing streams and remote temples. We’ll pair our short hike with a delicious lunch and indulgent sauna experience to complete a wholesome day good for body, mind and soul!

“The forest was blooming and our walk was the perfect break from the city bustle. We would have never found the trailhead without a guide, but otherwise the trails are well traveled and well marked.” — Caroline, Colorado (US)

We begin our day by hiking a part of ”the big mountain north of the Han River.” The highest mountain within Seoul, Bukhansan features three major peaks visible from most city districts. Hence, it is also known as Mt. Samgak or Samgaksan, “the three horned mountains.”

After, we’ll reward ourselves by shopping, eating a well-deserved lunch, and – the best treat – relaxing in a traditional Korean sauna!

The Koreans are renowned for their skincare routine: scrubs, face masks, body oils, the full treatment. To end the day, nourish and soothe your tired body at an authentic jjimjilbang – a Korean bathhouse furnished with hot tubs, showers, traditional kiln saunas and massage tables.

We’ll head home only after releasing tension and soothing our muscles. Gomabseubnida!

“My scrub was very thorough and I felt great after. The baths have several pools all at different temperatures ranging from cold to very hot, as well as an outdoor heated pool and outdoor running water baths.” — Sheisnotlost, San Diego (California)
